  • Publication number: 20090175886
    Abstract: The invention pertains to anti-CD30 antibodies that lack fucosyl and xylosyl residues. The antibodies of the invention exhibit increased antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity, including the ability to lyse CD30-expressing cell lines that are not lysed by the fucosylated and xylosylated form of the antibodies. The invention also provides host cells that express the anti-CD30 antibodies that lack fucosyl and xylosyl residues, wherein the host cells are deficient for a fucosyltransferase and a xylosyltransferase. Methods of using the antibodies to inhibit the growth of CD30 cells, such as tumor cells, are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20090142349
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides isolated monoclonal antibodies, particularly human monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to CD19 with high affinity. Nucleic acid molecules encoding such CD19 antibodies, expression vectors, host cells and methods for expressing the CD19 antibodies are also provided. Immunoconjugates, bispecific molecules and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the CD19 antibodies are also provided. Methods for detecting CD19, as well as methods for treating various B cell malignancies, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20090060908
    Abstract: The invention pertains to anti-PSMA antibodies that lack fucosyl residues. The antibodies of the invention exhibit increased antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity as compared to the fucosylated form of the antibodies. The invention also provides host cells that express the anti-PSMA antibodies that lack fucosyl residues, wherein the host cells are deficient for a fucosyl transferase. Methods of using the antibodies to inhibit the growth of PSMA+ cells, such as tumor cells, are also provided.
