    Abstract: Antibodies that bind to c-Met are provided herein, as well as related compositions and methods of use. Methods of use encompass cancer therapies and diagnostics. In certain embodiments, antibodies bind mammalian cell surface antigen (e.g., cancer cell surface antigen). The antibodies can also be endocytosed upon binding to cells. Cells that can be targeted by the antibodies include carcinomas, such as those in lung, kidney, liver, stomach, breast, and brain, etc.

    Abstract: A cancer diagnostic method that comprises the steps: (a) Providing a sample containing antibodies from a subject suspected of having cancer; (b) Incubating the sample with Gb5 and one or more of Globo H, Bb2, Bb3 and Bb4 to allow binding of the antibodies in the sample to the Gb5 and the Globo H, Bb2, Bb3 and Bb4; (c) Measuring the amount of the GB-5-bound antibodies and the amount of the Globo H-bound, Bb2-bound, Bb3-bound and Bb4-bound antibodies; (d) Determining whether the subject has the cancer based on the amounts of Gb5-bound antibodies and the Globo H-bound, Bb2-bound, Bb3-bound and Bb4-bound antibodies; The cancer is Globo H-positive and GB5-positive; and a higher ratio of the amount of Globo H-bound, Bb2-bound, Bb3-bound and Bb4-bound antibodies to the amount of Gb5-bound antibodies compared to a cancer-free subject indicates the subject has cancer. The cancer can be breast cancer, skin cancer, liver cancer, prostate cancer, ovary cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer or pancreas cancer.
