Claims14
An antibody that binds TGF-alpha and Epiregulin, comprising a light chain and a heavy chain, wherein the light chain comprises a light chain variable region (LCVR) and the heavy chain comprises a heavy chain variable region (HCVR), wherein the LCVR comprises amino acid sequences LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3, and the HCVR comprises amino acid sequences HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3, wherein LCDR1 is SEQ ID NO:4, LCDR2 is SEQ ID NO:5, LCDR3 is SEQ ID NO:6, HCDR1 is SEQ ID NO:1, HCDR2 is SEQ ID NO:2, and HCDR3 is SEQ ID NO:3.
An antibody that binds TGF-alpha and Epiregulin, comprising two light chains wherein the amino acid sequence of each light chain is SEQ ID NO:13, and two heavy chains wherein the amino acid sequence of each heavy chain is SEQ ID NO:12.
An antibody that binds TGF-alpha and Epiregulin, comprising two light chains wherein the amino acid sequence of each light chain is SEQ ID NO:14, and two heavy chains wherein the amino acid sequence of each heavy chain is SEQ ID NO:12.
