2. The antibody of claim 2 that binds to the same epitope of EphB3 as any of antibodies XPA.04.001, XPA.04.013, XPA.04.018, XPA.04.048, XHA.05.337, XHA.05.200, XHA.05.111, XHA.05.005, XHA.05.228, XHA.05.030, XHA.05.964, or XHA.05.885.
-
3. An antibody that comprises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 CDRs of any of antibodies XPA.04.001, XPA.04.013, XPA.04.018, XPA.04.048, XHA.05.337, XHA.05.200, XHA.05.111, XHA.05.005, XHA.05.228, XHA.05.030, XHA.05.964, or XHA.05.885.
-
24. A method of screening for an antibody to the extracellular domain of a EphB3 protein useful for the treatment of cancer comprising the steps of:
-
contacting a polypeptide comprising the ECD of EphB3 with a candidate antibody that contains at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 CDRs of antibodies XPA.04.001, XPA.04.013, XPA.04.018, or XPA.04.048; detecting binding affinity of the candidate antibody to the polypeptide, and identifying said candidate antibody as an antibody useful for the treatment of cancer if a binding affinity of at least 10−
6 M is detected.
-
-
25. A method of systematically altering antibodies and screening for an antibody to the extracellular domain of a EphB3 protein useful for the treatment of cancer comprising the steps of:
-
preparing a candidate antibody that contains modifications to one or two amino acids within the CDRs of antibodies XPA.04.001, XPA.04.013, XPA.04.018, XPA.04.048, XHA.05.337, XHA.05.200, XHA.05.111, XHA.05.005, XHA.05.228, XHA.05.030, XHA.05.964, or XHA.05.885, contacting a polypeptide comprising the ECD of EphB3 with said candidate antibody detecting binding affinity of the candidate antibody to the polypeptide, and identifying said candidate antibody as an antibody useful for the treatment of cancer if a binding affinity of at least 10−
6 M is detected.

-
26. A method of screening for an antibody to the extracellular domain of a EphB3 protein useful for the treatment of cancer comprising the steps of:
-
contacting a lung, ovarian, esophageal, colon or breast cell with a candidate antibody that contains at least 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 CDRs of antibodies XPA.04.001, XPA.04.013, XPA.04.018, XPA.04.048, XHA.05.337, XHA.05.200, XHA.05.111, XHA.05.005, XHA.05.228, XHA.05.030, XHA.05.964, or XHA.05.885 or an antibody that contains a modification of one or two amino acids within one or more CDRs; detecting proliferation or survival of said cell; and identifying said candidate antibody as an antibody useful for the treatment of cancer if a decrease in cell proliferation or survival is detected.
