Conjugated Via Claimed Linking Group, Bond, Chelating Agent, Or Coupling Agent (e.g., Conjugated To Proteinaceous Toxin Via Claimed Linking Group, Bond, Coupling Agent, Etc.) Patents (Class 424/179.1)
  • Patent number: 6197298
    Abstract: Several forms of immunoregulatory substances are derived from monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that are specific for a T cell surface antigen, such as CD3, TCR, CD4, or CD8 on T cells. The substances include: a mixture of F(ab′)2 fragments (or other divalent binding molecules which lack Fc) which each bind noncompetitively to different monovalent antigenic epitopes on the same antigen; the F(ab′)2 fragment (or other divalent binding molecules which lack Fc) of a bispecific antibody which has each of its binding sites derived from one of the two MAbs that bind noncompetitively to monovalent antigenic epitopes on the same antigen; a conjugate including a polymeric backbone, such as polyethylene glycol (“PEG”), cellulose, dextran, agarose, or an amino acid copolymer or a liposome, that is coupled with the binding molecules, e.g., Fv, Fab, or F(ab′)2, which bind noncompetitively to monovalent antigenic epitopes on the same antigen.

  • Patent number: 6197299
    Abstract: A soluble antibody conjugate comprising an antibody linked to a structure which is recognized by T-cells and has the ability to direct T-cells to lyse the target cell, which is recognized by the antibody. The conjugate is characterized by the structure being a superantigen. One important mode is a method for the lysis of target cells, wherein the target cells are contacted with a target cell lysis effective amount of the conjugate. The method of lysis is part of a potent treatment regime for cancer, autoimmunity, parasitic infestations and fungal, viral and bacterial infections. The specification also describes modes such as the synthesis of the conjugate and pharmaceutical compositions and their manufacture.
