摘要:
Conjugates of a C-terminal modified diabody and a nanoparticle are provided in which the C-terminal modification introduces a cysteine residue at a C-terminus of the diabody and the diabody is covalently linked to the nanoparticle via a heterobiofunctional linker attached to the introduced cysteine residue.

The present invention provides anti-CD20 antibody fragments for use as in vivo imaging probes and as therapeutic moieties for the diagnosis and treatment of NHL.
摘要:
In one embodiment, a minibody monomer that binds PSMA is provided. The minibody monomer is encoded by a nucleotide sequence comprising, from N-terminus to C-terminus, an scFv sequence that can bind PSMA, an artificial hinge sequence, and a human IgG CH3 sequence. In another embodiment, a CysDB monomer that binds PSMA is provided. The CysDB monomer may be encoded by a nucleotide sequence comprising, from N-terminus to C-terminus, an scFv sequence that can bind PSMA and a cysteine tail. In other embodiments, methods for diagnosing or treating a cancer associated with PSMA expression in a subject are provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides recombinant antibody fragments which include a variable domain which has been modified by the addition of a tail sequence to its C-terminal end. The tail sequence comprises a terminal cysteine residue and an amino acid spacer and does not substantially affect the fragment's target-binding affinity. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the described antibody fragments and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and methods of delivering an agent to cells of interest in a subject using the fragments as delivery vehicles. The invention further provides compositions comprising the described antibody fragments for the in vitro detection and measurement of target molecules which bind to the fragments and method of determining the presence or amount of such targets in a biological sample by contacting the sample with such compositions.
摘要:
This invention provides constructs comprising a protein scaffold, wherein the scaffold comprises Domain III, Domain IIIa, or Domain IIIb of human serum albumin or a polypeptide having substantial sequence identity to the Domain III, the Domain IIIa, or the Domain IIIb; and a targeting moiety in covalent linkage to the protein scaffold; and a therapeutic moiety and/or an imaging moiety in covalent linkage to the protein scaffold. The scaffold can be modified to tune the serum pharmacokinetics of the construct. In addition to methods of making the constructs, therapeutic, imaging and diagnostic uses of the constructs are also provided.
