摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of biologically active antibody dimers in a pharmaceutically acceptable composition. The dimers can be composed of two antibody molecules having the same antigen binding specificity and linked through reducible, disulfide, or a non-reducible thioether, bond (homodimer). Alternatively, the dimers can be composed of two different antibody molecules having binding specificity for two distinct antigens (heterodimer). These dimers are useful for inducing hyper-cross-linking of membrane antigens. The present invention further relates to the use of biologically active antibody dimers for the preferential killing or inhibition of selected cell populations in the treatment of diseases such as cancer and autoimmune disorders.

摘要:
The present invention provides novel N-substituted hydrazine bifunctional compounds, novel N-substituted hydrazone derivatives of a cytotoxic reagent incorporating the bifunctional compounds, novel conjugates containing at least one cytotoxic reagent molecule reacted with the bifunctional compound and bound to a molecule reactive with a target cell population, methods for their production, and pharmaceutical compositions and methods for delivering cytotoxic reagents to a target population of cells. The hydrazone bonds of the conjugates of the invention permit the release of free cytotoxic reagent from the conjugates in the acidic external or internal environment of the target cells. The bifunctional compounds, derivatives, conjugates and methods of the invention are useful in antibody-or ligand-mediated drug delivery systems for the preferential killing of a target cell population to treat diseases such as cancers, infections and autoimmune disorders.

摘要:
The instant invention describes methods of separating or preferentially synthesizing dimers which are linked via at least one interchain disulfide linkage from dimers which are not linked via at least one interchain disulfide linkage from a mixture comprising the two types of polypeptide dimers. These forms can be separated from each other using hydrophobic interaction chromatography. In addition, the invention pertains to connecting peptides that result in the preferential biosynthesis of dimers that are linked via at least one interchain disulfide linkage or that are not linked via at least one interchain disulfide linkage. The invention also pertains to compositions in which a majority of the dimers are linked via at least one interchain disulfide linkage or are not linked via at least one interchain disulfide linkage. The invention still further pertains to novel binding molecules, e.g., comprising connecting peptides of the invention.
