  • Publication number: 20240123092
    Abstract: Provided is a conjugate for photodynamic diagnosis or treatment in which a peptide binds with a photosensitizer via an intracellularly degradable linkage, and a composition for photodynamic diagnosis or treatment including the same. The conjugate generates no fluorescent signal and reactive oxygen in normal tissues or during the circulation in the blood by quenching a fluorescent signal and reactive oxygen generation ability of the photosensitizer. After the conjugate is selectively absorbed into target cells, a linker is degraded in cells to increase the distance between tryptophan included in the peptide and the photosensitizer, and the quenching action is terminated to generate a strong fluorescence signal and induce active generation of reactive oxygen. The conjugate has high tissue permeability, shows a high photodynamic therapeutic effect in only target cells while being safe in normal cells, and can obtain a good diagnostic image having a high ratio of target signal to background.

  • Patent number: 11897954
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide an anti-TSPAN8/anti-CD3 bispecific antibody and an anti-TSPAN8 antibody usable in treatment or prevention in human. A human monoclonal antibody producing mouse was immunized with a peritoneal disseminated cancer cell isolated from a patient, to obtain an antibody 16B11 and an antibody 16B12 that selectively bind to a peritoneal disseminated cancer cell. These antibodies were anti-TSPAN8 antibodies that bind to the region from amino acid positions 126 to 155 of TSPAN8 and exhibited strong binding activity to TSPAN8 expressed in the peritoneal disseminated cancer cell. Further, an anti-TSPAN8(16B11)-anti-CD3 bispecific antibody produced based on the sequence of 16B11 exhibited a cytotoxic activity against the TSPAN8-expressing cancer cell in vitro, exerted an anti-tumor action on TSPAN8-expressing cancer cell-bearing mice in vivo, and extended the lifetime of peritoneal dissemination model mice.
