DIRS1 antibodies
View Patent ↗The present invention provides nucleic acids encoding mammalian, e.g., primate or rodent receptors, purified receptor proteins and fragments thereof, and antibodies against these receptor proteins. Methods of using these compositions for both diagnostic and therapeutic utilities are also provided.
1. An isolated or purified antibody or antibody fragment thereof which specifically binds to a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.
2. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 1 which is raised against a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2.
3. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 1 , wherein the antibody fragment is selected from:
a) an Fab fragment;
b) an Fab2 fragment;
c) an Fv fragment; or
d) a single chain antibody.
4. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 1 which binds the polypeptide with a K D of at least 100 μM.
5. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 1 which binds the polypeptide with a K D of at least 30 μM.
6. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 1 which binds the polypeptide with a K D of at least 10 μM.
7. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 1 which binds the polypeptide with a K D of at least 3 μM.
8. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 1 wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody.
9. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 1 , wherein the antibody or antibody fragment is recombinant.
10. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 1 comprising a detectable label.
11. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 10 , wherein the detectable label is a radioactive or fluorescent label.
12. A sterile composition comprising the antibody or antibody fragment of claim 1 .
13. The sterile composition of claim 12 , wherein the sterile composition comprises an aqueous carrier.
14. The sterile composition of claim 13 , wherein the aqueous carrier comprises one or more of water, saline, or buffer.
15. A kit comprising the antibody or antibody fragment of claim 1 and:
a) a compartment comprising the antibody or antibody fragment; or
b) instructions for use or disposal of reagents in the kit.
16. An isolated or purified antibody or antibody fragment which specifically binds to a polypeptide comprising residues 30-311 of SEQ ID NO: 2.
17. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 16 which is raised against a polypeptide comprising residues 30-311 of SEQ ID NO: 2.
18. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 16 , wherein the antibody fragment is selected from:
a) an Fab fragment;
b) an Fab2 fragment;
c) an Fv fragment; or
d) a single chain antibody.
19. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 16 which binds the polypeptide with a K D of at least 100 μM.
20. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 16 which binds the polypeptide with a K D of at least 30 μM.
21. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 16 which binds the polypeptide with a K D of at least 10 μM.
22. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 16 which binds the polypeptide with a K D of at least 3 μM.
23. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 16 , wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody.
24. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 16 , wherein the antibody or antibody fragment is recombinant.
25. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 16 comprising a detectable label.
26. The antibody or antibody fragment of claim 25 , wherein the detectable label is a radioactive or fluorescent label.
27. A sterile composition comprising the antibody or antibody fragment of claim 16 .
28. The sterile composition of claim 27 , wherein the sterile composition comprises an aqueous carrier.
29. The sterile composition of claim 28 , wherein the aqueous carrier comprises one or more of water, saline, or buffer.
30. A kit comprising the antibody or antibody fragment of claim 16 and:
a) a compartment comprising the antibody or antibody fragment; or
b) instructions for use or disposal of reagents in the kit.
