ANTIBODIES TO ANGIOGENESIS INHIBITING DOMAINS OF CD148

摘要

The present invention provides compositions and methods relating to anti-CD148 receptor antibodies. Methods provided include inhibiting angiogenesis and, thereby, vascularization of solid tumors in human patients. The present invention also provides compositions and methods for in vivo imaging of tumors expressing CD148. Compositions of the invention include: anti-CD148 antibodies, antigen binding regions of anti-CD148 antibodies, polynucleotides encoding anti-CD 148 antibodies or binding regions thereof, vectors comprising these polynucleotides, host cells, and pharmaceutical compositions. Methods of making and using each of these compositions is also provided.
