In ovarian carcinoma, Müllerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) type II receptor (MISRII) and the MIS/MISRII signaling pathway are potential therapeutic targets. Conversely, the role of the three MIS type I receptors (MISRI; ALK2, ALK3 and ALK6) in this cancer needs to be clarified. Using four ovarian cancer cell lines and ovarian cancer cells isolated from patients' tumor ascites, the inventors found that ALK2 and ALK3 are the two main MISRIs involved in MIS signaling at low and high MIS concentrations, respectively. Moreover, high MIS concentrations were associated with apoptosis and decreased clonogenic survival, whereas low MIS concentrations improved cancer cell viability. Finally, the inventors showed that anti-MIS antibody B10 inhibited MIS pro-survival effect. These last results open the way to an innovative therapeutic approach to suppress MIS proliferative effect, instead of administering high doses of MIS to induce cancer cell apoptosis.

This application provides isolated antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof, that specifically bind Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP). These anti-CGRP antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, have a high affinity for CGRP, function to inhibit CGRP, are less immunogenic compared to their unmodified parent antibodies in a given species (e.g., a human) and can be used to treat CGRP-associated disorders, while avoiding the adverse side effects associated with the current CGRP antagonist therapies.

Pharmaceutical formulations for anti-CGRP antibodies, and methods of using the same, are provided which are useful as treatment for migraines, episodic headaches, chronic headaches, chronic cluster headaches, and episodic cluster headaches.

The present disclosure is directed to peptide immunogen constructs targeting portions of Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), compositions containing the constructs, antibodies elicited by the constructs, and methods for making and using the constructs and compositions thereof. The disclosed peptide immunogen constructs have more than about 20 amino acids and contain (a) a B cell epitope having about more than about 9 contiguous amino acid residues from the PACAP receptor binding or activation regions of the full-length PACAP protein; (b) a heterologous Th epitope; and (c) an optional heterologous spacer. The disclosed PACAP peptide immunogen constructs stimulate the generation of highly specific antibodies directed PACAP for the prevention and/or treatment of migraine.
