摘要:
Disclosed are methods, compositions and kits for improving targeting, in particular tumor targeting, of immunoconjugates. The method and composition relies on the sequestration of non-target cells that also express the antigen the immunoconjugate targets. Sequestration of those non-target cells in a variety of ways is disclosed. The methods, compositions and kits allow appropriate sequestration of non-target cells while maintaining a high degree of effectiveness of the immunoconjugates against target cells.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods and treatment regimes that include the administration of immunconjugates targeting CD138 to combat diseases. The immunoconjugate is either used as the sole active ingredient, as part of a treatment regime or as part of an anticancer combination.
摘要:
Disclosed are immunoconjugates having in particular specificity for CD138 expressed on target cells and which display homogenous targeting. The immunoconjugates may be sterially hindered and/or contain a cleavable linker.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method and composition for treating a disease associated with target cells expressing CD138 in a multiple dose regimen. An immunoconjugate comprising an engineered targeting antibody targeting CD138 expressing cells and an effector molecule is administered in a multiple dose regimen. The multiple dose regimen comprises at least two doses and the aggregate dose administered within an active treatment cycle is an aggregate maximum tolerable dose (AMTD) or a fraction of the AMTD. The AMTD and/or said fraction exceeds the dose resulting in dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and/or exceeds the maximum tolerable dose (MTD) when the immunoconjugate is administered as a single dose, including as part of a multiple single dose regimen within said active treatment cycle.

摘要:
Provided are methods of screening to identify molecules capable of binding to CD4 and capable of activating CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells. Further provided are antibodies and antibody fragments capable of activating CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells and methods and uses involving the antibodies and fragments thereof.
摘要:
Provided is a humanized or chimeric antibody or fragment thereof capable of binding to interleukin-10 (IL-10), wherein said antibody or fragment thereof: (i) binds to the same region of IL-10 as the IL-10 receptor α(IL-I10Ra) and is not capable of binding IL-10 when the IL-10 is bound to the IL- 10 receptor; and (ii) binds to IL-10 in homodimeric form by binding a discontinuous epitope comprising residues of both monomers. Further provided are related products and methods involving the use of the antibody or fragment thereof.
