Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided are compositions comprising newly identified protein fragments of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, polynucleotides that encode them and complements thereof, related agents, and methods of use thereof in diagnostic, drug discovery, research, and therapeutic applications.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A therapeutic composition for detecting or modulating a biological activity of a splice variant polypeptide, comprising a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier and an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that exhibits binding specificity for an isolated aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (AARS) splice variant polypeptide that consists of SEQ ID NO: 14, 74, 76, or 78 or an epitope comprising at least 5 amino acids selected from SEQ ID NOs: 55, 57, 69, 182, 194, and 196, wherein the composition has a purity of at least about 90% on a protein basis and less than about 10 EU endotoxin/mg protein. 2. The therapeutic composition of claim 1 , wherein the AARS polypeptide is selected from SEQ ID NO: 14, 74, 76, and 78. 3. The therapeutic composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof is a monoclonal antibody. 4. The therapeutic composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a humanized antibody. 5. The therapeutic composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is an Fv fragment or a single chain Fv (sFv) polypeptide. 6. The therapeutic composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a sterile, freeze-dried powder. 7. The therapeutic composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a sterile injectable solution. 8. The therapeutic composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is buffered and comprises an isotonic agent. 9. The therapeutic composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is suitable for intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, or intraperitoneal administration. 10. The therapeutic composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises a surfactant. 11. The therapeutic composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition has a purity of at least about 95% on a protein basis.
