摘要:
This invention relates to the use of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies that specifically bind to and become internalized by mesothelin-positive cells and also induce an immune effector activity such as antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity. The antibodies are useful in specific delivery of pharmacologic agents to mesothelin expressing cells as well as eliciting an immune-effector activity particularly on tumor cells and precursors. The invention is also related to cells expressing the monoclonal antibodies, polyclonal antibodies, antibody derivatives, such as human, humanized, and chimeric monoclonal antibodies, antibody fragments, mammalian cells expressing the monoclonal antibodies, derivatives and fragments, and methods of treating cancer using the antibodies, derivatives and fragments.

Whole Genome Evolution Technology can be considered a broad tool for supporting the needs for scaleable manufacturing of therapeutic antibodies. Its random nature and in vivo mode of action separate this process from other complementary technologies, thus providing alternative solutions to improve a host cell's manufacturing performance. The speed with which a pre-existing production strain can be optimized makes this process suitable for satisfying the current need for rapid cell line optimization to produce faster growing cells exhibiting high titers of antibody at the preclinical, clinical or commercialization stage.

Provided herein are rodents that express the human endosialin gene. In preferred embodiments, the rodent is a mouse. Preferably, the human endosialin gene is integrated into the native or endogenous endosialin gene locus. More preferably, the host rodent is null for the endogenous endosialin gene product. The human endosialin gene is preferably expressed in a similar development and disease response pattern as that of the native endosialin gene product in parental or wild type rodents. This feature makes these rodents useful for studying the effects of test agents to positively or negatively affect endosialin biology for therapeutic use. Use of human endosialin expressing rodents lacking native endosialin gene product (HUE rodents) is proposed as a strategy for developing agents that can positively or negatively affect the endosialin pathway and also serve as a screening tool to identify those agents that may be useful as human therapies.

Described herein are antibodies that specifically bind ganglioside GD2. Also described are nucleotides encoding such antibodies, cells expressing such antibodies, methods of use for such antibodies, and methods for using the antibodies to treat diseases associated with ganglioside GD2. In addition, tissue culture media supplements are described as are methods of use for the supplements. Described herein are albumin-ganglioside conjugates and corresponding methods for producing such conjugates. Methods of purifying or isolating antibodies are also described.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for generating high titers of high-affinity antibodies from hybridoma cells produced by fusing myeloma cells with in vitro immunized donor cells. The hybridoma cells or mammalian expression cells with cloned antibody genes from the hybridomas producing the high-affinity antibodies may be mismatch repair defective due to defects of endogenous mismatch repair subunits of through expression of a dominant negative allele of a mismatch repair gene which allows the hybridoma cell to be hypermutable, may be rendered hypermutable by chemical means, or may be naturally mismatch repair deficient. High-affinity antibodies and high titer producer cells producing antibodies may be prepared by the methods of the invention.

This invention relates to the use of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies that specifically bind to and have the ability in the alternative to become internalized by cells expressing folate receptor alpha (FRA) and to induce an immune effector activity such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. The antibodies are useful in specific delivery of pharmacologic agents to FRA-expressing cells as well as in eliciting an immune-effector activity particularly on tumor cells and precursors. The invention is also related to nucleotides encoding the antibodies of the invention, cells expressing the antibodies; methods of detecting cancer cells; and methods of treating cancer using the antibodies.
