Abstract: The present invention is related to antibodies directed to the antigen PDGFD and uses of such antibodies. In particular, in accordance with the present invention, there are provided fully human monoclonal antibodies directed to the antigen PDGFD. Nucelotide sequences encoding, and amino acid sequences comprising, heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules, particularly sequences corresponding to contiguous heavy and light chain sequences spanning the framework regions and/or complementarity determining regions (CDR's), specifically from FR1 through FR4 or CDR1 through CDR3, are provided. Hybridomas or other cell lines expressing such immunoglobulin molecules and monoclonal antibodies are also provided.

Abstract: Methods for categorizing antibodies based on their epitope binding characteristics are described. Methods and systems for determining the epitope recognition properties of different antibodies are provided. Also provided are data analysis processes for clustering antibodies on the basis of their epitope recognition properties and for identifying antibodies having distinct epitope binding characteristics.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided fully human monoclonal antibodies against human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-r). Nucelotide sequences encoding and amino acid sequences comprising heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules, particularly sequences corresponding to contiguous heavy and light chain sequences from CDR1 through CDR3, are provided. Hybridomas expressing such immunoglobulin molecules and monoclonal antibodies are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to novel replication-deficient adenoviral vectors characterized in that they harbor at least two lethal early region gene deletions (E1 and E4) that normally transcribe adenoviral early proteins. These novel recombinant vectors find particular use in human gene therapy treatment whereby the vectors additionally carry a transgene or therapeutic gene that replaces the E1 or E4 regions. The present invention is further directed to novel packaging cell lines that are transformed at a minimum with the adenoviral E1 and E4 gene regions and function to propagate the above novel replication-deficient adenoviral vectors.
