摘要:
Provided herein are bifunctional compounds that bind tau protein and/or promote targeted ubiquitination for the degradation of tau protein. In particular, provided are compounds that can bind tau protein, a protein whose aggregation is implicated in a variety of neurodegenerative disease (e.g., tauopathies), and can promote its degradation by recruiting an E3 ubiquitin ligase (e.g., Cereblon), which can ubiquitinate tau protein, marking it for proteasomal degradation. Also provided are radiolabeled forms of the bifunctional compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the bifunctional compounds, methods of detecting and/or diagnosing neurological disorders, methods of detecting and/or diagnosing pathological aggregation of tau protein (e.g., in the central nervous system), methods of treating and/or preventing neurological disorders, and methods of promoting the degradation of tau protein by E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in a subject by administering a compound or composition described herein.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an IgG-binding peptide comprising a ligand capable of binding to a radioactive metal nuclide, an IgG-binding peptide labeled with a radioactive metal nuclide, a conjugate of the IgG-binding peptide and IgG, and a radionuclide imaging agent or a diagnostic agent for cancer comprising the IgG-binding peptide or the conjugate, etc.

Anti-STEAP-1 antibodies and immunoconjugates thereof are provided. Methods of using anti-STEAP-1 antibodies and immunoconjugates thereof are provided. Methods of detecting or determining the presence of STEAP-1 proteins are provided.
摘要:
The invention concerns immune complexes for use in a diagnostic method for detecting and localizing specific cells in a human or animal body by an imaging technique. First antibodies are directed to an antigen located on the surface of said cells. The first antibodies are optionally labeled with first labels. The method comprises that the first antibodies and second antibodies directed to said first antibodies or to the first labels or the first antibodies and ligands specifically binding to the first labels are administered to said human or animal body, wherein said second antibodies or said ligands are labeled with second labels detectable by said imaging technique. The cells are detected and localized in the human or animal body after administration of the first antibodies and second antibodies or of the first antibodies and the ligands by use of the imaging technique. The immune complexes of the invention are formed from the first antibodies and the second antibodies or from the first antibodies and the ligands ex vivo before administration of said immune complexes to the human or animal body.

The presently disclosed subject matter provides compositions and kits comprising light-emitting versions of the monoclonal antibody to C3d (mAB 3d29) for imaging and methods of use thereof for detecting infectious and inflammatory cells in vivo. The presently disclosed subject matter also provides methods for detecting and/or monitoring a Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) infection in a subject, as well as methods of treating a M. tuberculosis infection in a subject.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the diagnosis of clinical conditions characterized by undesirable and/or abnormal selectin expression. In particular, the invention provides for the use of fucoidans for the detection of selectins using imaging techniques including ultrasonography, scintigraphy and MRI. Selectin-targeted imaging agents are provided that comprise at least one fucoidan moiety associated with at least one detectable moiety. Methods and kits are described for using these imaging agents in the diagnosis of clinical conditions such as thrombosis, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury, stroke and ischemic brain trauma, neurodegenerative disorders, tumor metastasis and tumor growth, and rheumatoid arthritis.
