摘要:
Compositions containing biologically active molecules encapsulated in self-assembling, diketopiperazine microspheres (TECHNOSPHEREs™) and methods for making and administering such compositions are described herein. The compositions can be used to immunize individuals against agents of biological warfare. The biologically active molecules include atropine, antibodies, antigens, and antibiotics. The compositions can be placed in an inhalation device for self-administration. Pulmonary delivery of TECHNOSPHERE™ encapsulated atropine, antibodies, vaccines, and antibiotics provides an accelerated onset of immunity to the targeted disease. Furthermore, the TECHNOSPHERE™ encapsulated atropine, antibodies, vaccines, and antibiotics are stable formulations, suitable for stockpiling, rapid dissemination and mass treatment.
摘要:
The invention provides new monoclonal antibodies and binding fragments thereof which recognize and immunoreact with cell surface antigens found on small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells. The antibodies have tumor specificity and are useful for therapy, diagnosis, monitoring, detecting and imaging of SCLC disease and of patients having SCLC disease. The antibody-recognized SCLC-specific surface antigens can serve as targets for detecting, diagnosing, inhibiting or killing SCLC cells.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to cell surface antigens found on myeloma cells and on ovarian cancer cells, and monoclonal antibodies, and antibody binding fragments thereof, capable of being used for therapeutic, diagnostic, detection and cell purification purposes. An exemplified monoclonal antibody of the present invention recognizes and binds to an epitope common to surface antigen expressed on multiple myeloma cells and on ovarian cancer cells.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to cell surface antigenes found on myeloma cells and on ovarian cancer cells that are recognized by monoclonal antibodies, and antibody binding fragments thereof, as described. The monoclonal antibodies of the invention are capable of being used for therapeutic, screening, diagnostic and cell purification purposes. A representative and exemplified monoclonal antibody of the present invention recognizes and binds to an epitope common to a surface antigen that is expressed on multiple myeloma cells and to a surface antigen that is expressed on ovarian cancer cells. The function of this monoclonal antibody both in vivo and in vitro is demonstrated.

摘要:
Compositions and methods have been developed for transporting compounds across membranes with little or no toxicity and, when targeted through the appropriate routes of administration (i.e., lung, gastrointestinal (GI) tract), little or no immune stimulation. The compositions can mediate cellular delivery of compounds that would otherwise not enter cells and enhance the intracellular delivery of compounds that would otherwise enter cells inefficiently. The methods are carried out by contacting a proximal face of a lipid bilayer or membrane (e.g. the surface of an intact cell) with a complex containing a compound (e.g., a therapeutic agent) and a diketopiperazine (DKP). DKP and the compound are non-covalently associated with each other or covalently bound to each other.
