  • Patent number: 7060269
    Abstract: Humanized and variant anti-VEGF antibodies and various uses therefor are disclosed. The anti-VEGF antibodies have strong binding affinities for VEGF; inhibit VEGF-induced proliferation of endothelial cells in vitro; and inhibit tumor growth in vivo.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2000
    Date of Patent: June 13, 2006
    Assignee: Genentech, Inc.
    Inventors: Manuel Baca, James A. Wells, Leonard G. Presta, Henry B. Lowman, Yvonne Man-yee Chen
  • Patent number: 6750321
    Abstract: Peptides are provided that inhibit the interaction of an IGF with any one of its binding proteins and not to a human IGF receptor. These IGF agonist peptides are useful to increase serum and tissue levels of active IGFs in a mammal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2000
    Date of Patent: June 15, 2004
    Assignee: Genentech, Inc.

  • Publication number: 20030211992
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the treatment of a cartilage disorder, including cartilage damaged by injury or degenerative cartilagenous disorders. The method involves contacting the cartilage with an IGF-1 analog with altered affinity for IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) or an IGFBP displacer peptide that prevents the interaction of an IGF with an IGFBP and does not bind to a human IGF receptor.
