摘要:
The present invention concerns methods and compositions for forming anti-cancer vaccine complexes. In preferred embodiments, the anti-cancer vaccine complex comprises an antibody moiety that binds to dendritic cells, such as an anti-CD74 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, attached to an AD (anchoring domain) moiety and a xenoantigen, such as CD20, attached to a DDD (dimerization and docking domain) moiety, wherein two copies of the DDD moiety form a dimer that binds to the AD moiety, resulting in the formation of the vaccine complex. The anti-cancer vaccine complex is capable of inducing an immune response against xenoantigen expressing cancer cells, such as CD138negCD20+ MM stem cells, and inducing apoptosis of and inhibiting the growth of or eliminating the cancer cells.
摘要:
The present invention concerns methods and compositions for forming immunotoxin complexes having a high efficacy and low systemic toxicity. In preferred embodiments, the toxin moiety is a ranpirnase (Rap), such as Rap(Q). In more preferred embodiments, the immunotoxin is made using dock-and-lock (DNL) technology. The immunotoxin exhibits improved pharmacokinetics, with a longer serum half-life and significantly greater efficacy compared to toxin alone, antibody alone, unconjugated toxin plus antibody or even other types of toxin-antibody constructs. In a most preferred embodiment the construct comprises an anti-Trop-2 antibody conjugated to Rap, although other combinations of antibodies, antibody fragments and toxins may be used to form the subject immunotoxins. The immunotoxins are of use to treat a variety of diseases, such as cancer, autoimmune disease or immune dysfunction.
摘要:
The present invention concerns multimeric complexes based on antibody fusion proteins comprising an AD moiety attached to the C-terminal end of each antibody light chain. The complexes further comprise effector moities attached to DDD moieties. Two copies of the DDD moiety form a dimer that binds to the AD moiety. The complexes may be trimers, pentamers, hexamers or other multimers. The effector moieties may be selected from a second antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a cytokine, an interferon, a toxin, an antigen, a xenoantigen, a hapten, a protamine, a hormone, an enzyme, a ligand-binding protein, a pro-apoptotic agent and an anti-angiogenic agent. Surprisingly, attachment of the AD moiety to the C-terminal end of the antibody light chain results in improved pharmacokinetics and in vivo stability and efficacy, compared to homologous complexes wherein the AD moiety is attached to the antibody heavy chain.
摘要:
Disclosed are compositions and methods for increasing the longevity of a cell culture and permitting the increased production of proteins, preferably recombinant proteins, such as antibodies, peptides, enzymes, growth factors, interleukins, interferons, hormones, and vaccines. Cells transfected with an apoptosis-inhibiting gene or vector, such as a triple mutant Bcl-2 gene, can survive longer in culture, resulting in extension of the state and yield of protein biosynthesis. Such transfected cells exhibit maximal cell densities that equal or exceed the maximal density achieved by the parent cell lines. Transfected cells can also be pre-adapted for growth in serum-free medium, greatly decreasing the time required to obtain protein production in serum-free medium. In certain methods, the pre-adapted cells can be used for protein production following transformation under serum-free conditions. The method preferably involves eukaryotic cells, more preferably mammalian cells.

The present disclosure relates to a bispecific single chain antibody which has a first binding domain specifically binding to human CD3, and a second binding domain specifically binding to human CEA, where the second binding domain comprises at least a part of the CDR-H3 or the complete CDR-H3 of murine monoclonal antibody A5B7, a pharmaceutical composition comprising the bispecific single chain antibody, and methods for the treatment of an epithelial tumor in a human with the pharmaceutical compositions containing the bispecific single chain antibody. Furthermore, processes for the production of the pharmaceutical compositions as well as medical/pharmaceutical uses for the specific bispecific single chain antibody molecules bearing specificities for the human CD3 antigen and the human CEA antigen are disclosed.

Described herein are compositions and methods of use of targeted delivery complexes for delivery of siRNA to a disease-associated cell, tissue or pathogen. The targeted delivery complex comprises a targeting molecule, such as an antibody or fragment thereof, conjugated to one or more siRNA carriers. In preferred embodiments the siRNA carrier is a dendrimer or protamine and the targeting molecule is an anti-cancer antibody, such as hRS7. More preferably, the antibody or fragment is rapidly internalized into the target cell to facilitate uptake of the siRNA. Most preferably, the targeted delivery complex is made by the DNL technique. The compositions and methods are of use to treat a variety of disease states, such as cancer, autoimmune disease, immune dysfunction, cardiac disease, neurologic disease, inflammatory disease or infectious disease.
摘要:
The present invention concerns methods and compositions for making and using bioactive assemblies of defined compositions, which may have multiple functionalities and/or binding specificities. In particular embodiments, the bioactive assembly is formed using dock-and-lock (DNL) methodology, which takes advantage of the specific binding interaction between dimerization and docking domains (DDD) and anchoring domains (AD) to form the assembly. In various embodiments, one or more effectors may be attached to a DDD or AD sequence. Complementary AD or DDD sequences may be attached to an adaptor module that forms the core of the bioactive assembly, allowing formation of the assembly through the specific DDD/AD binding interactions. Such assemblies may be attached to a wide variety of effector moieties for treatment, detection and/or diagnosis of a disease, pathogen infection or other medical or veterinary condition.
摘要:
The present invention concerns methods and compositions comprising an anti-IGF-1R antibody or fragment thereof for treatment of cancer or autoimmune disease. Preferably, the cancer is renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer or pancreatic cancer. The anti-IGF-1R antibody or fragment may be part of a complex, such as a DOCK-AND-LOCK™ (DNL™) complex. Preferably, the DNL™ complex also comprises a second antibody, a second antibody fragment, an affibody or a cytokine. More preferably, the cytokine is interferon-α2b. Most preferably, the second antibody, second fragment or affibody binds to IGF-1R, TROP2 or CEACAM6. The anti-IGF-1R antibody or complex may be administered alone or in combination with a therapeutic agent, such as an mTOR inhibitor.
