Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and compositions for administering a binding agent to a patient wherein the patient generates a response to autologous tumor. The binding agents target apoptotic tumor cells and facilitates the uptake of these apoptotic tumor cell are taken up by dendritic cells or other antigen presenting cells for processing and presentation to the immune system without the expression of circulating tumor-associated antigen (or without the need of circulating tumor antigen).

Abstract: The invention is an apparatus and method for the treatment of prostate cancer, and involves administering an antibody that specifically binds with prostate antigen.

Abstract: The invention is an apparatus and method for the treatment of prostate cancer, and involves administering an antibody that specifically binds with prostate antigen.

Abstract: The invention concerns methods and compositions for intiating and/or enhancing an immune response by contacting a binding reagent with a soluble antigen, wherein the binding reagent-antigen pair generates an immune response to the antigen.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for treating cancer comprising administering a xenotypic antibody and a chemotherapeutic drug to a patient suffering from cancer. Also disclosed is a method for inducing a host immune response in a patient against a multi-epitopic in vivo tumor antigen present in the host serum, which antigen does not elicit an effective host immune response, comprising administering to the patient a chemotherapeutic drug and a composition comprising a binding agent that specifically binds to a first epitope on the antigen and allowing the binding agent to form a binding agent/antigen pair, wherein an effective host immune response is elicited against a second epitope on the antigen.

Abstract: The invention concerns methods and compositions for initiating and/or enhancing an immune response by contacting a binding reagent with a soluble antigen, wherein the binding reagent-antigen pair generates an immune response to the antigen.

Abstract: The invention is therapeutic methods and compositions that alter the immunogenicity of the host.

Abstract: The invention concerns methods and compositions for intiating and/or enhancing an immune response by contacting a binding reagent with a soluble antigen, wherein the binding reagent-antigen pair generates an immune response to the antigen.

Abstract: The invention provides therapeutic compositions comprising binding agents that specifically bind to tumor-associated MUC-1 and reduce, reverse or prevent their effects in cancer. More particularly, the invention provides therapeutic compositions that comprise a binding agent that can specifically bind to an epitope that comprises both peptide and carbohydrate on such tumor-associated MUC-1. The invention further provides methods for the use of such therapeutic compositions in the treatment of cancer.
