摘要:
Methods and kits for the treatment of neoplastic disorders comprising the use of a CD23 antagonist are provided. The CD23 antagonist may be used alone or in combination with chemotherapeutic agents. In particularly preferred embodiments the CD23 antagonists may be used to treat B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL).
摘要:
The present invention is directed to antibodies which bind human gp39, are antagonistic of the CD40/CD40L interaction, but are non-agonistic of T-cell activation. The present invention is further directed to the use of these antibodies as therapeutic agents. These antibodies are especially useful for treatment of autoimmune diseases; and an immunosuppressant during transplantation of heterologous cells, tissues or organs, cell therapy, and gene therapy.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are fully impaired consensus Kozak sequences which are most typically used with dominant selectable markers of transcriptional cassettes which are a part of an expression vector. These vectors are most typically utilized in the expression of proteins in mammalian expression systems. As defined, disclosed and claimed herein, a "fully impaired consensus Kozak" comprises sequence (I), where: "x" is a nucleotide selected from the group consisting of adenine (A), quanine (G), cytosine (C) or thymine (T)/uracil (U); "Py" is a pyrimidine nucleotide, ie C or TU; "ATG" is a codon encoding for the amino acid methionine, the so-called "start" codon; and -3 and +1 are directional reference points vis-à-vis ATG, ie -3 is meant to indicate three nucleotides upstream of ATG and +1 is meant to indicate one nucleotide downstream of ATG. Dominant selectable markers further comprising artificial intronic insertion regions are further disclosed.
摘要:
This invention discloses methods for the treatment of intermediate- and high-grade non-Hodgkins lymphomas comprising administration of anti-CD20 antibodies.
摘要:
This invention relates to methods of reducing bone marrow involvement in B cell lymphoma patients prior to radioimmunotherapy by administering monoclonal antibodies which target cancerous B cells.
摘要:
Antibody binding assays and radiolabeling kits are disclosed for radiolabeling and testing therapeutic antibodies in the commercial setting. In particular, the kits are designed for making and evaluating radiolabeled anti-CD20 conjugates to be used for the treatment and imaging of B cell lymphoma tumors. All kit reagents are sterile and are designed to achieve a high level of antibody radiolabeling and product stability with results which are highly reproducible.
摘要:
The use of a chimeric anti-CD20 antibody, RITUXAN®, as an in vivo or in vitro purging agent, of patients receiving bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant during treatment of B-cell-related malignancies, e.g., B-cell lymphomas or leukemias, is disclosed. Such purging may enhance engraftment and/or prevent disease relapse in such patients.
摘要:
A method of treating hematologic malignancies associated with a high number of circulating tumor cells by the administration of a therapeutic chimeric anti-CD20 antibody. These malignancies include in particular B-prolymphocytic leukemia (B-PLL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and transformed non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are fully impaired consensus Kozak sequences which are most typically used with dominant selectable markers of transcriptional cassettes which are a part of an expression vector. These vectors are most typically utilized in the expression of proteins in mammalian expression systems. As defined, disclosed and claimed herein, a 'fully impaired consensus Kozak' comprises sequence (I), where: 'x' is a nucleotide selected from the group consisting of adenine (A), quanine (G), cytosine (C) or thymine (T)/uracil (U); 'Py' is a pyrimidine nucleotide, ie C or TU; 'ATG' is a codon encoding for the amino acid methionine, the so-called 'start' codon; and -3 and +1 are directional reference points vis-à-vis ATG, ie -3 is meant to indicate three nucleotides upstream of ATG and +1 is meant to indicate one nucleotide downstream of ATG. Dominant selectable markers further comprising artificial intronic insertion regions are further disclosed.
