Abstract: Methods for preparing monomeric cytotoxic drug/carrier conjugates with a drug loading significantly higher than in previously reported procedures and with decreased aggregation and low conjugate fraction (LCF) are described. Cytotoxic drug derivative/antibody conjugates, compositions comprising the conjugates and uses of the conjugates are also described. Monomeric calicheamicin derivative/anti-CD22 antibody conjugates, compositions comprising the conjugates and uses of the conjugates are also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to Cardiac Targeting Peptides or CTPs that are able to transduce cardiomyocytes specifically in culture and in vivo, and to methods for using such peptides and their derivatives to deliver peptides, proteins or nucleic acids specifically to the heart. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that the peptide APWHLSSQYSRT (SEQ ID NO:1) functioned as a cardiac-specific protein targeting peptide and was successful in delivering a number of different cargoes to cardiac muscle cells in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract: The present invention relates to tolerogenic mammalian dendritic cells (DCs) and methods for the production of the tolerogenic DCs. In addition, the present invention provides a method for enhancing tolerogenicity in a host comprising administering the tolerogenic mammalian DCs of the present invention to the host. The tolerogenic DCs of the present invention comprise an oligodeoxyribonucleotide (ODN) which has one or more NF-?B binding sites. The tolerogenic DCs of the present invention may further comprise a viral vector, and preferably an adenoviral vector, which does not affect the tolerogenicity of the tolerogenic DCs when present therein. Enhanced tolerogenicity in a host is useful for prolonging foreign graft survival and for treating inflammatory related diseases, such as autoimmune diseases.
