A method of screening is provided. In certain embodiments, the method involves a) obtaining the nucleotide sequences of: i. a heavy chain-encoding nucleic acid that encodes the variable domain of a heavy chain of a first antibody of an animal; and ii. a light chain-encoding nucleic acid that encodes the variable domain of a light chain of the first antibody; b) obtaining nucleotide sequences of cDNAs encoding at least a portion of the antibody repertoire of the animal; c) computationally screening the sequences obtained in b) to identify heavy and light chain sequences that are related by lineage to the heavy and light chain sequences of a); and d) testing at least one pair of the heavy and light chain sequences identified in c) to identify a second antibody that binds to the same antigen as the first antibody.

The present invention is directed to a method for generating a library of antigen binding molecules for screening for binding to an epitope of interest, said method comprising: a. selecting a template antigen-binding molecule from a set of possible template antigen binding molecules wherein said selected template does not specifically bind the epitope of interest but is known to specifically bind another epitope; b. selecting at least one residue position in said template antigen-binding molecule for mutation; and c. selecting at least one variant residue to substitute at the at least one residue position selected in b; such that a library containing a plurality of variants of said template is generated.

Compositions and methods useful for delivery of targeted therapies for pulmonary arterial hypertension, sepsis, cancer and cachexia. The compositions and methods are based on peptide pharmacophores that selectively bind to and home to diseased tissue and enable targeted therapies to affect a beneficial therapeutic result. Peptide pharmacophores may selectively target tumor vasculature, regenerating tissue, wounded tissue, inflamed tissue, fibrotic tissue, remodeled tissue, tissue characterized by elevated heparanase levels, and have the ability to internalize into such diseased cells.
