Abstract: The invention relates to methods of treating patients (either adult or paediatric) with tumours using G rich oligonucleotides. In embodiments of the invention, methods of treating patients with tumours using a combination of G rich oligonucleotides and a chemotherapeutic agent are provided. There are also provided pharmaceutical compositions and kits for use in the methods of the invention.

Abstract: There is provided by the invention a modified antibody molecule which selectively binds to a specific target, the antibody molecule being modified at, at least one amino acid residue that forms part of a glycosylation site in the variable region of an unmodified parent antibody molecule, characterised in that the modified antibody is not glycosylated at the previous glycosylation site of which the amino acid modification forms part and the modified antibody exhibits a greater binding affinity for the specific target than the unmodified parent antibody molecule. There is also provided nucleotide sequences, amino acid sequences and expression vectors encoding the modified antibodies, and uses thereof.
