摘要:
This invention relates to a combination of immunotherapy and chemotherapy to promote tumor regression by treating a patient in need thereof with a combination of a humanized antibody that binds to A33 antigen and one or more chemotherapeutic agents. The method is useful for treating patients with colorectal cancer and gastric carcinomas. The method is particularly useful for treating patients who have tumors that are resistant to one or more chemotherapeutic agents and/or have metastasized.
摘要:
This invention relates to methods of reducing the effects of colon cancer tumors. Various agents are conjugated to monoclonal antibodies which are specific for colon cancer cells. The conjugates are administered to patients having colon cancer such that the effects of the cancer are reduced.
摘要:
The invention involves the therapeutic use of humanized antibodies, fragments, etc., which bind to the antigen A33. These antibody molecules are useful in the treatment of various neoplasias, including colon cancer. Various modes of administration, and doses are described.
摘要:
The invention is directed to novel CDRs and immunoglobulin products that bind to A33 antigens and methods for their use. The invention also involves a method for making humanized antibodies, using a rabbit as a host animal, and phage display library methodologies, and the antibodies themselves. The methodology is useful, for example, in generating humanized antibodies against molecules associated with cancer, such as A33, which is associated with colon cancer.
摘要:
The invention is directed to methods of reducing the effects of cancer in a subject by administering to said subject a pharmaceutically effective amount of an anti-cancer agent conjugated to an inmmunoglobulin product which comprises one or more novel complementarity determining region and framework regions.
摘要:
This invention relates to isolated protein and to peptides which are found on the surface of colon cells and colon cancer cells, as well as to nucleic acid molecules encoding said protein and peptides. The protein and peptides bind to tumor-associated antibodies, such as mAb A33. The monomeric protein has a molecular weight of about 43 kD as determined by SDS gel electrophoresis under non-reducing conditions. In addition, this invention relates to the use of said nucleic acid molecules, protein, in monomeric or multimeric form, and to antibodies to said peptides in diagnostic, screening and therapeutic methods. This invention further relates to antibodies specific for said protein, in monomeric or multimeric form, and to antibodies to said peptides.
摘要:
The invention provides for the production of several humanized murine antibodies specific for the antigen Lewis Y, which is recognized by the murine antibody Lewis Y. The Lewis Y antigen is expressed in normal tissues but the level of expression is higher in certain tumor types so that the antigen can be used as a marker for cells of some breast, colon, gastric, esophageal, pancreatic, duodenal, lung, bladder and renal carcinomas and gastric and islet cell neuroendocrine tumors. The invention also provides for numerous polynucleotide encoding humanized Lewis Y specific antibodies, expression vectors for producing humanized Lewis Y specific antibodies, and host cells for the recombinant production of the humanized antibodies. The invention also provides methods for detecting cancerous cells (in vitro and in vivo) using humanized Lewis Y specific antibodies. Additionally, the invention provides methods of treating cancer using humanized Lewis Y specific antibodies.

摘要:
This invention provides a method of imaging a colorectal carcinoma lesion in a human patient which comprises administering to the patient a monoclonal antibody capable of binding to a cell surface antigen associated with the coloretal carcinoma lesion and which is labeled with an imaging agent under conditions so as to form a complex between the monoclonal antibody and the cell surface antigen, imaging any complex so formed, and thereby imaging the colorectal carcinoma lesion.This invention also provides a monoclonal antibody designated AS 33 (ATCC Accession No. HB 8779) and the hybridoma which produces it.
