  • Patent number: 6066718
    Abstract: The invention relates to reshaped human monoclonal antibodies directed against isotypic determinants of immunoglobulin E (IgE), direct equivalents and derivatives of said antibodies. The molecules of the invention are useful for diagnostics, prophylaxis and treatment of allergy.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 1993
    Date of Patent: May 23, 2000
    Assignees: Novartis Corporation, Tanox Biosystems, Inc.
    Inventors: Norman Hardman, Frank Kolbinger, Jose Saldanha
  • Patent number: 6020153
    Abstract: The invention relates to murine/human chimeric monoclonal antibodies with high specificity to and affinity for human carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), derivatives thereof, processes for the preparation of these antibodies and their derivatives, DNAs coding for heavy and light chains of these antibodies, processes for the preparation of said DNAs, mammalian cell lines that produce and secrete the antibodies and processes for the preparation of said cell lines. The chimeric antibodies and their derivatives are used for clinical purposes in vitro and in vivo, especially for the diagnosis of cancer, for localization and in vivo imaging of tumors, for therapy, e.g. site-directed delivery of cytotoxins, and similar purposes. The invention also concerns test kits and pharmaceutical compositions containing said chimeric monoclonal antibodies and/or derivatives thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5939531
    Abstract: The invention concerns recombinant antibodies directed to the extracellular domain of the human growth factor receptor c-erbB-2 comprising a light chain variable domain and a heavy chain variable domain of a monoclonal antibody, monoclonal antibodies directed to c-erbB-2 themselves, a method of manufacture of said recombinant antibodies and said monoclonal antibodies, hybridoma cells secreting said monoclonal antibodies, a method of manufacture of said hybridoma cells, DNA coding for the heavy chain variable domain, for the light chain variable domain and for the recombinant antibody, a method of manufacture of said DNA, hybrid vectors suitable for expression of said DNA, host cells transformed with said DNA, and the use of said recombinant antibodies and said monoclonal antibodies in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 1995
    Date of Patent: August 17, 1999
    Assignee: Novartis Corp.
    Inventors: Winfried Stephan Wels, Nancy E. Hynes, Ina-Maria Harwerth, Bernd Groner, Norman Hardman, Markus Zwickl
  • Patent number: 5866124
    Abstract: The invention concerns antiidiotypic antibodies comprising human constant regions, and murine variable regions bearing the internal image of human high molecular weight-melanoma associated antigen which have the specificity of said antibody. These antiidiotypic monoclonal antibodies have immune-regulatory functions and can therefore be used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, such as the treatment of melanoma.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5571894
    Abstract: The invention concerns recombinant antibodies directed to the extracellular domain of the human growth factor receptor c-erbB-2 comprising a light chain variable domain and a heavy chain variable domain of a monoclonal antibody, monoclonal antibodies directed to c-erbB-2 themselves, a method of manufacturing those recombinant and monoclonal antibodies, hybridoma cells secreting those monoclonal antibodies, a method of manufacturing those hybridoma cells, DNAs encoding the heavy and light chain variable domains and the recombinant antibody, a method of manufacturing that DNA, hybrid vectors suitable for the expression of that DNA, host cells transformed with that DNA, and processes of using those recombinant and monoclonal antibodies in the diagnosis and treatment of tumors.
