  • Patent number: 11285165
    Abstract: This invention provides novel polydentate selective high affinity ligands (SHALs) that can be used in a variety of applications in a manner analogous to the use of antibodies. SHALs typically comprise a multiplicity of ligands that each bind different region son the target molecule. The ligands are joined directly or through a linker thereby forming a polydentate moiety that typically binds the target molecule with high selectivity and avidity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 8, 2020
    Date of Patent: March 29, 2022

  • Publication number: 20100179303
    Abstract: A new radioconjugate NP has been developed using recombinant antibody fragments, di-scFv-c (111 In-DOTA-di-scFv-NP) for imaging and therapy of anti MUC-1 10 expressing cancers since aberrant MUC-1 Is abundantly expressed on the majority of human epithelial cancers. Selection and engineering of anti-MUC-1 di-scFv-c (50 kDa) was generated to link NP-M (maleimide). DOTA chelate was conjugated with di-scFv-c for the radiometal chelation to trace the RINP at in vivo. This RINP preparation can provide uniquely high tumor cell binding NP for AMF driven tumor hyperthermia.

  • Patent number: 7029652
    Abstract: A method of treating tumors, such as prostate tumors, breast tumors, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and the like, includes the sequential steps of administering to the patient at least one dose of an antiangiogenic cyclo-arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-containing pentapeptide (cRGD pentapeptide); administering to the patient an anti-tumor effective amount of a radioimmunotherapeutic agent (RIT); and then administering to the patient at least one additional dose of cRGD pentapeptide. The cRGD pentapeptide is preferably cyclo-(Arg-Gly-Asp-D-Phe-[N-Me]-Val), and the RIT is preferably a radionuclide-labeled chelating agent-ligand complex in which chelating agent is chemically bonded to a tumor-targeting molecule, such as a monoclonal antibody.
