Abstract: An immunoconjugate includes an anti-Globo H antibody, or a binding fragment thereof, and a therapeutic agent or a label, having the formula: Ab?(L?D)m, wherein Ab is the anti-Globo H antibody or the binding fragment thereof, L is a linker or a direct bond, D is the therapeutic agent or the label, and m is an integer from 1 to 8. The antibody may be a monoclonal antibody, which may be a humanized antibody. A method for treating a cancer includes administering to a subject in need of such treatment a pharmaceutically effective amount of an immunoconjugate containing an antibody against Globo H, or a binding fragment thereof, and a therapeutic agent covalently conjugated with the antibody.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for high-throughput screening of a functional antibody fragment for an immunoconjugate that targets a protein antigen. The method combines a phage-displayed synthetic antibody library and high-throughput cytotoxicity screening of non-covalently assembled immunotoxins or cytotoxic drug to identify highly functional synthetic antibody fragments for delivering toxin payloads.

Abstract: A method for specific linkage to a glycoprotein includes obtaining a glycoprotein having a monoglycan or diglycan attached thereto; producing a reactive functional group on a sugar unit on the glycoprotein; and coupling a linker or a payload to the reactive functional group on the glycoprotein.
