Abstract: The present invention relates to the identification that EGFR antibody immunoconjugates are effective in inhibiting the growth of tumor cells that have developed EGFR and/or ALK resistance mechanisms. Methods of administering the EGFR antibody immunoconjugates to patients having resistant tumor cells is also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods of using CD37 agents, including, but not limited to, antibodies and immunoconjugates, that bind to CD37 to deplete B-cells (e.g., non-cancerous B-cells) and methods of treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases are further provided.

Abstract: Antibodies, humanized antibodies, resurfaced antibodies, antibody fragments, derivatized antibodies, and conjugates of same with cytotoxic agents, which specifically bind to CD38, are capable of killing CD38+ cells by apoptosis, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), and/or complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Said antibodies and fragments thereof may be used in the treatment of tumors that express CD38 protein. Said derivatized antibodies may be used in the diagnosis and imaging of tumors that express elevated levels of CD38. Also provided are cytotoxic conjugates comprising a cell binding agent and a cytotoxic agent, therapeutic compositions comprising the conjugate, methods for using the conjugates in the inhibition of cell growth and the treatment of disease, and a kit comprising the cytotoxic conjugate. In particular, the cell binding agent is a monoclonal antibody, and epitope-binding fragments thereof, that recognizes and binds the CD38 protein.

Abstract: CD20 is a transmembrane protein of the tetra-spanin family expressed on the surface of B-cells and has been found on B-cells from peripheral blood as well as lymphoid tissues. CD20 expression persists from the early pre-B cell stage until the plasma cell differentiation stage. Conversely, it is not found on hematopoietic stem cells, pro-B cells, differentiated plasma cells or non-lymphoid tissues. In addition to expression in normal B-cells, CD20 is expressed in B-cell derived malignancies such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). CD20 expressing cells are known to play a role in other diseases and disorders, including inflammation. The present invention includes anti-CD20 antibodies, forms and fragments, having superior physical and functional properties; immunoconjugates, compositions, diagnostic reagents, methods for inhibiting growth, therapeutic methods, improved antibodies and cell lines; and polynucleotides, vectors and genetic constructs encoding same.
