摘要:
The invention relates to a method of preparing heteromultimeric polypeptides such as bispecific antibodies, bispecific immunoadhesins and antibody-immunoadhesin chimeras. The invention also relates to the heteromultimers prepared using the method. Generally, the method provides a multispecific antibody having a common light chain associated with each heteromeric polypeptide having an antibody binding domain. Additionally the method further involves introducing into the multispecific antibody a specific and complementary interaction at the interface of a first polypeptide and the interface of a second polypeptide, so as to promote heteromultimer formation and hinder homomultimer formation; and/or a free thiol-containing residue at the interface of a first polypeptide and a corresponding free thiol-containing residue in the interface of a second polypeptide, such that a non-naturally occurring disulfide bond is formed between the first and second polypeptide. The method allows for the enhanced formation of the desired heteromultimer relative to undesired heteromultimers and homomultimers.

摘要:
Effector functions are provided to a desired target with improved specificity by use of two or more complementary targeting components. The targeting components assemble a functional moiety at the target. At the target, the functional moiety itself provides an effector function or binds to additional components which provide an effector function. The effector function may be an enzymatic activity, a label or a signal. The binary or polynary targeting system may be used for analyte determination as well.

Disclosed is a method of inhibiting the binding of a cell bearing a cell adhesion protein to a molecule or cell bearing a carbohydrate determinant specific for the cell adhesion molecule. The method involves contacting the cell adhesion protein-bearing cell with an AGP-antibody bearing the carbohydrate determinant. Also disclosed are AGP-antibody fusion proteins to which are covalently bonded carbohydrate moieties which interfere with the antibody portion's ability to fix complement and bind an Fc receptor. The methods of the invention may be used, for example, in any antibody-based therapy, for example, to reduce inflammation.

Compositions and methods for avidin or protein having affinity for biotin immobilized on an inert support material, e.g., agarose, are disclosed. The compositions have high activity levels for binding biotin and may include a bulking agent, e.g., maltose, and a protectant to maintain the stability and integrity of the composition during lyophilization and terminal sterilization processes. The compositions have applicability in any instance where avidin agarose and/or the avidin/biotin technology are useful. In particular, the present compositions are useful in an enzyme capture system to prepare fibrin monomers useful for fibrin sealants.

The invention provides monospecific antibodies that are specifically reactive with fibrinopeptide B (FPB) and with fibrinogen and fragments thereof containing the amino acid sequence defined by SEQ ID NO:1. The invention also provides anti-FPB probes, including monospecific anti-FPB antibodies that have been detectably labeled. In addition, the invention provides methods of using the monospecific antibodies for detection of fibrinopeptide B, as well as reagents and kits for performing the methods. For example, the invention provides a method for detecting fibrinopeptide B with specificity in biological samples such as blood samples, by using the antibody to immunometrically bind to the fibrinopeptide B. Diagnostic methods for determining information associated with atherogenesis and/or thrombogenesis. The invention further provides continuous cell lines (hybridomas) that produce monospecific anti-FPB antibodies.

The method involves contacting the cell adhesion protein-bearing cell with an inhibitor molecule bearing the carbohydrate determinant. Also disclosed is a method of inhibiting the binding of the first member of a specific binding pair to the second member of the specific binding pair, involving contacting the first member with an antibody which is specific for the first member and which is covalently bonded to a carbohydrate moiety which interferes with the antibody's ability to fix complement and bind an F.sub.c receptor.
