摘要:
Antibody molecules that specifically bind to one or more isoforms expressed and/or associated with oncogenic phenotypes in a hyperproliferative cell (e.g., a cancerous or tumor cell) are disclosed. The isoform-binding antibody molecules can be used to treat, prevent and/or diagnose cancerous conditions and/or disorders. Methods of using the isoform-binding molecules to selectively detect oncogenic isoforms, to reduce the activity and/or induce the killing of a hyperproliferative cell expressing an oncogenic isoform in vitro, ex vivo or in vivo are also disclosed. Diagnostic and/or screening methods and kits for evaluating the function or expression of an oncogenic isoform are also disclosed.
