Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the treatment of immunological disorders other than cancer, comprising administering proteins characterized by their ability to bind to CD30 and exert a cytostatic or cytotoxic effect on an activated lymphocyte. Such proteins include monoclonal antibodies AC10 and IleFi1. AC10 and HeFi-1 derivatives, and antibodies that compete with AC10 and HeFi-1 for binding to CD30. Other such proteins include multivalent anti-CD30 antibodies and anti-CD30 antibodies conjugated to cytotoxic agents. Treatment modalities with antibodies of the invention are also provided.

Abstract: Pentapeptide compounds are disclosed. The compounds have biological activity, e.g., cytotoxicity. Prodrugs having targeting groups and pentapeptide moieities, as well as precursors thereof are also disclosed. For example, precursors having a reactive linker that can serve as a reaction site for joining to a targeting agent, e.g., an antibody, as disclosed.
