First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A monoclonal antibody which binds EGFR extracellular domain and comprises heavy chain CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 sequences as set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 13, 14, and 15, respectively, and light chain CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 sequences as set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 16, 17 and 18, respectively. 2. A monoclonal antibody which binds EGFR extracellular domain and comprises a heavy chain variable region as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 23 and a light chain variable region as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 24. 3. The monoclonal antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody binds EGFR extracellular domain with a K D of better than 1 nM. 4. The monoclonal antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a human or humanized antibody. 5. The monoclonal antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is an IgG1. 6. The monoclonal antibody of claim 2 , wherein the antibody is a human or humanized antibody. 7. The monoclonal antibody of claim 2 , wherein the antibody is an IgG1. 8. The monoclonal antibody of claim 3 , wherein the antibody is a human or humanized antibody. 9. The monoclonal antibody of claim 3 , wherein the antibody is an IgG1. 10. A composition comprising the monoclonal antibody of claim 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 11. The composition according to claim 10 , which is a sterile composition. 12. The composition according to claim 11 , which is formulated for intravenous injection. 13. A composition comprising the monoclonal antibody of claim 2 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 14. The composition according to claim 13 , which is a sterile composition. 15. The composition according to claim 14 , which is formulated for intravenous injection. 16. A composition comprising the monoclonal antibody of claim 3 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 17. The composition according to claim 16 , which is a sterile composition. 18. The composition according to claim 17 , which is formulated for intravenous injection. 19. A composition comprising the monoclonal antibody of claim 5 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 20. A composition comprising the monoclonal antibody of claim 7 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. 21. A composition comprising the monoclonal antibody of claim 9 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
