Abstract

Binding polypeptides that specifically bind B lymphocyte stimulator protein or B lymphocyte stimulator-like polypeptides can be used in methods of the invention for detecting, diagnosing, or prognosing a disease or disorder associated with aberrant B lymphocyte stimulator or B lymphocyte stimulator receptor expression or inappropriate function of B lymphocyte stimulator or B lymphocyte stimulator receptor, comprising B lymphocyte stimulator binding polypeptides or fragments or variants thereof, that specifically bind to B lymphocyte stimulator. The present invention further relates to methods and compositions for preventing, treating or ameliorating a disease or disorder associated with aberrant B lymphocyte stimulator or B lymphocyte stimulator receptor expression or inappropriate B lymphocyte stimulator function or B lymphocyte stimulator receptor function, comprising administering to an animal, preferably a human, an effective amount of one or more B lymphocyte stimulator binding polypeptides or fragments or variants thereof, that specifically bind to B lymphocyte stimulator.
