The present invention provides compositions and methods of use of anti-IGF-1R antibodies or antibody fragments. Preferably the antibodies bind to IGF-1R but not IR; are not agonists for IGF-1R; do not block binding of IGF-1 or IGF-2 to isolated IGF-1R, but effectively neutralize activation of IGF-1R by IGF-1 in intact cells; and block binding of an R1 antibody to IGF-1R. The antibodies may be murine, chimeric, humanized or human R1 antibodies comprising the heavy chain CDR sequences DYYMY (SEQ ID NO:1), YITNYGGSTYYPDTVKG (SEQ ID NO:2) and QSNYDYDGWFAY (SEQ ID NO:3) and the light chain CDR sequences KASQEVGTAVA (SEQ ID NO:4), WASTRHT (SEQ ID NO:5) and QQYSNYPLT (SEQ ID NO:6). Preferably the antibodies bind to an epitope of IGF-1R comprising the first half of the cysteine-rich domain of IGF-1R (residues 151-222). The anti-IGF-1R antibodies may be used for diagnosis or therapy of various diseases such as cancer.

Disclosed are novel quinazoline derivatives containing phosphorus substitutions and methods for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases (e.g. cancer) using the compounds. These compounds are type I receptorproteinkinase inhibitors useful in treating disorders related to abnormal proteinkinase activities such as cancer and inflammation in mammals. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing the compounds, methods for the preparation of the compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
This invention provides quinazoline analogs of Formula I:where A is bonded to at least one of the carbons at the 5, 6, 7 or 8 position of the bicyclic ring, and the ring is substituted by up to two independent R3 groups. The invention also includes methods of using compounds of Formula I as type I receptortyrosinekinase inhibitors and for the treatment of hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer.
This invention concerns quinazoline analogs of Formula I: where an A group is bonded to at least one of the carbons at the 5, 6, 7 or 8 position of the bicyclic ring, and the ring is substituted by up to three independent R3 groups.

The invention relates to the cloning of a transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily type I receptorgene Tgfbrl1 of chlamys farreri in a molecular genetic marker technology, a screening and typing technology of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) locus which is relevant with the weight of adductor muscles in the gene and a method for the application of the gene to the breeding of the high-yield chlamys farreri. A total-length complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) sequence of the Tgfbr1 gene of the chlamys farreri is obtained by utilizing a homology-based cloning strategy; an SNP lotus is discovered by blastn comparison, and primers and a probe are designed for the locus; and SNP typing is performed in a natural population of the chlamys farreri by using a high-resolution melting curve technology, and the weight of the adductor muscle of an individual is measured. Statistic analysis displays that the loci c.1815C>T are obviously relevant with the weight of the adductor muscles of the chlamys farreri, and the weight of the adductor muscles of individuals with TT genetypes is obviously higher than that of the adductor muscles of individuals with CC and CT genetypes. In the selective breeding process of the high-yield chlamys farreri, the breeding candidate colonies of the chlamys farreri can be subjected to c.1815C>T typing, and the individuals of which the loci c.1815C>T are TT genetypes are used as a breeding parent preferably by combining typing information of other loci which are relevant with growth properties.

In ovarian carcinoma, Müllerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) type II receptor (MISRII) and the MIS / MISRII signaling pathway are potential therapeutic targets. Conversely, the role of the three MIS type I receptors (MISRI; ALK2, ALK3 and ALK6) in this cancer needs to be clarified. Using four ovarian cancercell lines and ovarian cancer cells isolated from patients' tumor ascites, the inventors found that ALK2 and ALK3 are the two main MISRIs involved in MIS signaling at low and high MIS concentrations, respectively. Moreover, high MIS concentrations were associated with apoptosis and decreased clonogenic survival, whereas low MIS concentrations improved cancercell viability. Finally, the inventors showed that anti-MIS antibody B10 inhibited MIS pro-survival effect. These last results open the way to an innovative therapeutic approach to suppress MIS proliferative effect, instead of administering high doses of MIS to induce cancercellapoptosis.
