Abstract: Methods for targeting cytotoxins to target sites by administration of a combination of conjugates are provided. Novel cytotoxic combinations for use in such methods are also provided.

Abstract: There is disclosed charge-modified conjugates comprising a targeting protein bound to a therapeutic or diagnostic agent. Charge-modifying a conjugate to cause an acidic shift in the isoelectric point results in prolonged serum half-life upon in vivo administration and is useful to accumulate a therapeutic agent at the target site. Conversely, charge-modification to cause a basic shift in the isoelectric point of the conjugate reduces serum half-life upon in vivo use for diagnostic imaging purposes and results in higher target-to-background ratios.

Abstract: Conjugates of trichothecenes and agents that bind to a defined population of cells are disclosed. Preferred are conjugates of trichothecene molecules with polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies or fragments thereof that recognize antigens that are present only on tumor cells or are augmented in their expression on tumor cells as compared to normal tissues. Trichothecene molecules are coupled to the agent through non-covalent and covalent linkages, such as peptide bonds, disulfide bonds, thioester bonds, or thioether bonds. A method for inhibiting the growth and metabolism of antigen-positive cells is also disclosed. Derivatized trichothecene compounds prepared for conjugation to targeting agents are also disclosed.

Abstract: A process for reducing the non-target organ accumulation of immunoconjugates administered in vivo during therapeutic or diagnostic procedures involves the use of immunoconjugates comprising linkers that are cleavable at the non-target organs. The linkers are cleavable under conditions present, or induced, at one or more non-target organs, which include the kidneys or the liver.

Abstract: Covalently-linked complexes (CLCs) for targeting a defined population of cells, comprising a targeting protein; a cytotoxic agent; and an enhancing moiety, wherein the enhancing moiety is capable of promoting CLC-target cell interaction are disclosed. Methods for using the claimed CLCs to obtain enhanced in vivo cytotoxicity and enhanced in vivo imaging are also described.

Abstract: The activity of cytotoxic agents on target cells is enhanced through administration of a sensitizing agent to a patient prior to or simultaneously with administration of the cytotoxic agent. One or both of the two types of agents are attached to antibodies specific for the desired target cells, thereby enhancing the cytotoxic effect on target cells compared to non-target cells. The sensitizer and/or the cytotoxic agent may be attached to monoclonal antibodies specific for cancer cells to selectively eradicate the cancer cells while minimizing toxicity toward normal tissues.

Abstract: Methods of treating and imaging tumor sites using radiolabeled antibodies or fragments of antibodies are disclosed. Ex vivo separation of the radiolabeled antibodies is undertaken to improve image quality and treatment efficacy.

Abstract: Methods for improved targeting of antibody, antibody fragments, peptides hormones, steroid hormones and conjugates thereof are disclosed. Enhanced delivery to target cells of antibodies or fragments thereof or other receptor-mediated delivery system, such as peptide, specific for a population of cells of a mammal comprises steps of administering to said mammal an adequate dosage of blocking antibodies or fragments thereof or other receptor-mediated delivery system, such as peptide, and administering to said mammal an effective dosage of said antibodies or fragments thereof or other receptor-mediated delivery system, such as peptide, specific for said population of cells. In the preferred embodiment, the specific antibodies are monoclonal antibodies directed toward tumor-associated antigen in man.
