Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for treating target cells, tissues or pathogens in a subject, comprising administering a non-covalently bound complex which comprises a multispecific targeting protein and a hapten-enzyme covalent conjugate. The invention further relates to kits comprising the non-covalently bound complex or the components to prepare the complex.
Abstract:
The present invention provides humanized, chimeric and human MN3 antibodies, fusion proteins, and fragments thereof. The antibodies, fusion proteins, and fragments thereof, as well as combinations with other suitable antibodies, are useful for the treatment and diagnosis of granulocyte related disorders and diseases, such as leukemia.

Abstract:
This invention relates to monovalent and multivalent, monospecific antibodies and to monovalent and multivalent, multispecific antibodies. One embodiment of these antibodies has one or more identical binding sites where each binding site binds with a target antigen or an epitope on a target antigen. Another embodiment of these antibodies has two or more binding sites where these binding sites have affinity towards different epitopes on a target antigen or different target antigens, or have affinity towards a target antigen and a hapten. The present invention further relates to recombinant vectors useful for the expression of these functionalantibodies in a host. More specifically, the present invention relates to the tumor-associated antibody designated PAM4. The invention further relates to chimeric PAM4 antibodies, and the use of such antibodies in diagnosis and therapy.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an improved method to detect and monitor a subject having cystic fibrosis (CF) by employing at least one anti-granulocyte/neutrophil antibody or a fragment thereof and a diagnostic agent via various imaging methods, wherein said anti-granulocyte antibody is not a murine MN-3 antibody Fab' fragment that is radiolabeled with 99m Tc. Pretargeting methods for improved imaging of granulocytes accumulated in CF are also described. It is further directed to a simple, noninvasive, and effective test that can assess neutrophil delivery to the lower airways of patients with CF and effective test that can assess neutrophil delivery to the lower airways of patients with other neutrophil-mediated lung diseases.
Abstract:
A method for treating bladder cancer by administering via the urethra a multispecific antibody comprising at least one targeting arm that binds a bladder cancer antigen and at least one capture arm that binds a carrier conjugated to one or more therapeutic agents, allowing said multispecific antibody to localize at the site of said bladder cancer, allowing any free multispecific antibody to substantially clear from the patient; and (b) administering a therapeutically effective amount of the carrier conjugated to one or more therapeutic agents.

This invention relates to monovalent and multivalent, monospecific binding proteins and to multivalent, multispecific binding proteins. One embodiment of these binding proteins has one or more binding sites where each binding site binds with a target antigen or an epitope on a target antigen. Another embodiment of these binding proteins has two or more binding sites where each binding site has affinity towards different epitopes on a target antigen or has affinity towards either a target antigen or a hapten. The present invention further relates to recombinant vectors useful for the expression of these functional binding proteins in a host. More specifically, the present invention relates to the tumor-associated antigen binding protein designated RS7, and other EGP-1 binding-proteins. The invention further relates to humanized, human and chimeric RS7 antigen binding proteins, and the use of such binding proteins in diagnosis and therapy.
Abstract:
The present invention provides humanized, chimeric and human anti-CD20 antibodies and CD 20 antibody fusion proteins that bind to a human B cell marker, referred to as CD20, which is useful for the treatment and diagnosis of B-cell disorders, such as B-cell malignancies and autoimmune diseases, and methods of treatment and diagnosis.
