Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides the amino acid and polynucleotide sequences of the transcobalamin receptor, as well as modulators of the transcobalamin receptor. Accordingly, the present invention provides compositions and methods for the treatment and prevention of diseases and disorders associated with cobalamin deficiency, including compositions and methods that promote cobalamin uptake. In addition, the present invention provides compositions and methods for the detection, treatment, and prevention of diseases associated with deregulated cell growth, including, e.g., cancer and autoimmune disorders, including compositions and methods that inhibit cobalamin uptake.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing a human antibody that inhibits cobalamin uptake into a cell, comprising producing a human antibody specific for a transcobalamin receptor by immunizing a transgenic non-human animal that expresses human antibody polypeptides with a purified recombinantly-produced transcobalamin receptor polypeptide or an immunogenic portion thereof, wherein said recombinantly-produced transcobalamin polypeptide is purified from a cell comprising an…
