The present invention relates to antibodies including human antibodies and
antigen-binding portions thereof that specifically bind to
ErbB2, preferably human
ErbB2. In another embodiment, the antibodies or
antigen-binding portions thereof inhibit
ErbB2. The invention also relates to antibodies that are chimeric, bispecific, derivatized,
single chain antibodies or portions of fusion proteins. The invention also relates to isolated heavy and light chain immunoglobulins or portions thereof derived from human anti-ErbB2 antibodies and
nucleic acid molecules encoding such immunoglobulins. The present invention also relates to methods of using the antibodies and compositions for diagnosis and treatment. The invention also provides
gene therapy methods using
nucleic acid molecules encoding the heavy and / or light immunoglobulin molecules that comprise the human anti-ErbB2 antibodies. The invention also relates to transgenic animals or plants comprising
nucleic acid molecules of the present invention.
