ABSTRACT:
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) receptor agonists are provided. The HGF receptor agonists include HGF receptor antibodies and fragments thereof. The HGF receptor agonists can be employed to substantially enhance HGF receptor activation. The HGF receptor agonists may be included in pharmaceutical compositions, articles of manufacture, or kits. Methods of treatment and diagnosis using the HGF receptor agonists are also provided.
