First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for treating hypercholesterolemia in a patient, said method comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a monoclonal antibody that binds to PCSK9, wherein the monoclonal antibody binds to an epitope on PCSK9 comprising at least one of the following residues: S153, I154, P155, R194, D238, A239, I369, S372, D374, C375, T377, F379, V380, or S381 of SEQ ID NO: 3, and wherein the monoclonal antibody blocks b…
