The present invention relates to novel antibodies, antibody fragments and antibody conjugates and single-chain immunotoxins reactive with human carcinoma cells. More particularly, the antibodies, conjugates and single-chain immunotoxins of the invention include: a murine monoclonal antibody, BR96; a human/murine chimeric antibody, ChiBR96; a F(abnull)2 fragment of BR96; ChiBR96-PE, ChiBR96-LysPE40, ChiBR96 F(abnull)2-LysPE40 and ChiBR96 Fabnull-LysPE40 conjugates and recombinant BR96 sFv-PE40 immunotoxin. These molecules are reactive with a cell membrane antigen on the surface of human carcinomas. The BR96 antibody and its functional equivalents, displays a high degree of selectivity for carcinoma cells and possess the ability to mediate antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity activity. In addition, the antibodies of the invention internalize within the carcinoma cells to which they bind and are therefore particularly useful for therapeutic applications, for example, as the antibody component of antibody-drug or antibody-toxin conjugates. The antibodies also have a unique feature in that they are cytotoxic when used in the unmodified form, at specified concentrations.
摘要:
Monospecific polyclonal fibrinogen degradation product antibodies, their method of use, the methods to detect cancer and for monitoring the progress of anticancer treatment by immunochemically measuring the quantity of serum FDP in serum are disclosed. The present invention teaches that monospecific polyclonal FDP antibodies that bind to human fibrinogen degradation products (nullFDPnull) can be obtained by inoculating a laboratory animal with human FDP or human FDP derivatives to induce the production in the inoculated laboratory animal of at least one monospecific polyclonal antibody that binds to human FDP and isolating the monospecific polyclonal antibody. By generating anti-serum to FDP from immunogens and purifying said immunogens using affinity chromatography, increased levels of production of FDP antibodies over the prior art are achieved. A method for screening cancer is disclosed comprising contacting biological sample obtained from a patient with at least one monospecific polyclonal FDP antibody that binds to mammalian FDP. A method is also disclosed for producing a quantitative enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for serum FDP by using monospecific polyclonal antibodies that bind to human FDP.

摘要:
A novel RMP homologue is provided, as well as nucleic acids encoding the protein and antisense nucleic acids, Methods of diagnosing conditions dependent on RMP are provided as well as screening methods for identify agents active against conditions dependent on RMP, such as conditions dependent on amino acid regulation, cancer, neurodegeneration, muscle degeneration, immune disorders, and AIDS.
摘要:
The present invention generally concerns novel proteins which bind to the intracellular domains of the p55 and p75 TNF-Rs and the FAS-R, which are capable of modulating the function of the p55 and p75 TNF-Rs and the FAS-R, and the DNA sequences which encode them. The present invention also concerns new soluble oligomeric TNF-Rs, oligomeric FAS-Rs and oligomeric receptors having a mixture of TNF-Rs and FAS-Rs. In addition, the present invention concerns methods of preparation and uses of all of the aforementioned.
摘要:
Genes that are upregulated in human prostate tumor tissues and the corresponding proteins are identified. These genes and the corresponding antigens are suitable targets for the treatment, diagnosis or prophylaxis of prostate cancer. A preferred target gene is Kv3.2.
摘要:
The present invention provides novel methods and compositions for the treatment of cancer, and in particular for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The present invention also relates to the use of nullnullnull T cells to identify and respond to a specific antigen expressed by ALL, thereby enabling the targeted treatment of ALL. Diagnostic methods and kits for the detection and monitoring of cancer are also provided.
摘要:
Disclosed are protein ligands comprising an immunoglobulin heavy chain variable (VH) domain and an immunoglobulin light chain variable (VL) domain, wherein the proteins bind a complex comprising an MHC and a peptide, do not substantially bind the MHC in the absence of the bound peptide, and do not substantially bind the peptide in the absence of the MHC, and the peptide is a peptide fragment of gp100, MUC1, TAX, or hTERT. Also disclosed are methods of using and identifying such ligands.
