摘要:
Applications in nanomedicine, such as diagnostics and targeted therapeutics, rely on the detection and targeting of membrane biomarkers. Disclosed herein are functionalized quantum dots exhibiting greater stability in water, methods of making the functionalized quantum dots and methods of in vivo imaging using the functionalized quantum dots.
摘要:
This invention relates generally to the generation of antibodies, e.g., monoclonal antibodies including fully human monoclonal antibodies, that recognize Jagged 1 and/or Jagged 2, to antibodies, e.g., monoclonal antibodies including fully human antibodies that recognize Jagged 1 and/or Jagged 2, and nucleic acid molecules that encode antibodies, e.g., nucleic acid molecules that encode monoclonal antibodies including fully human cross-reactive antibodies that recognize both Jagged 1 and Jagged 2, and to methods of making the anti-Jagged antibodies and methods of using the anti-Jagged antibodies as therapeutics, prophylactics, and diagnostics. The invention also relates generally to activatable antibodies that include a masking moiety (MM), a cleavable moiety (CM), and an antibody (AB) that specifically bind to Jagged 1 and Jagged 2, and to methods of making and using these activatable anti-Jagged antibodies in a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic and prophylactic indications.
摘要:
This invention relates to a composition of a non-labeled monoclonal antibody binding to a tumor antigen and a second monoclonal antibody labeled with a NIR fluorescence label, binding to the same tumor antigen, wherein the first and second antibody exhibit no cross reactivity. The composition can be used for the treatment of patients suffering of solid tumors which are associated with an overexpression of such a tumor antigen. The invention further relates to a the co-administration of said first and second antibody as wells as to a method of acquiring a NIR fluorescence images of such tumors or the patients suffering from such tumors during the treatment of said patient with such composition.

摘要:
From antibodies that can be used to immunostain atherosclerotic tissue sections, the present inventors selected antibodies applicable to in vivo imaging, and analyzed their specificities. The result showed that fluorescently labeled anti-oxidized LDL/β2GPI complex antibodies that are specific to a particular epitope were effective for imaging.
摘要:
Certain disclosed embodiments of the present invention concern the synthesis, derivatization, conjugation to immunoglobulins and signal amplification based on discrete, relatively short polymers having plural reactive functional groups that react with plural molecules of interest. Reactive functional groups, such as hydrazides, may be derivatized with a variety of detectable labels, particularly haptens. The remaining reactive functional groups may be conjugated directly to a specific binding molecule, such as to the oxidized carbohydrate of the Fc region of the antibody. Disclosed conjugates display large signal amplification as compared to those based on molecules derivatized with single haptens, and are useful for assay methods, particularly multiplexed assays.
摘要:
The present invention relates to trifunctional imaging agents that include an antibody for cell targeting, as well as a chelating moiety for sequestering radioisotopes and a fluorescing moiety for imaging. The invention also provides methods using the conjugates for medical diagnostic imaging.
摘要:
It is intended to ameliorate arteriosclerosis or arteriosclerotic disease through a pharmacological mechanism that reduces the size of the arteriosclerotic lesion. The agent of the present invention comprises a complex comprising an antibody binding to folate receptor β (FRβ) and a cytotoxin or a cytotoxic agent conjugated with the antibody, or the antibody as an active ingredient.
摘要:
Compounds useful as labels with properties comparable to known fluorescent compounds. The compounds are conjugated to proteins and nucleic acids for biological imaging and analysis. Synthesis of the compounds, formation and use of the conjugated compounds, and specific non-limiting examples of each are provided.
