Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Isolated histidyl-tRNA synthetase splice variant polynucleotides and polypeptides having non-canonical biological activities are provided, as well as compositions and methods related thereto.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of reducing a cancer or malignancy, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a composition comprising a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier and an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that exhibits binding specificity for a histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HRS) splice variant polypeptide consisting of a sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:6, 9, or 11, or a fragment of SEQ ID NO:6, 9, or 11, wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is at least about 90% pure. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof antagonizes a non-canonical activity of the HRS splice variant polypeptide. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fragment of SEQ ID NO:6, 9, or 11 consists of the WHEP domain of HRS. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fragment of SEQ ID NO:9 or 11 consists of the anticodon binding domain of HRS. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof is a monoclonal antibody. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a humanized antibody. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is an Fv fragment or a single chain Fv (sFv) polypeptide. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a sterile injectable solution. 9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is buffered and comprises an isotonic agent. 10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition is suitable for intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intraperitoneal administration. 11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a surfactant. 12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is at least about 95% pure.
