Abstract: Pharmaceutical compositions comprising antibody-urease conjugates and substantially free of unconjugated urease are disclosed. These compositions are prepared by a method that does not require chromatographic purification. These pharmaceutical compositions have utility in the treatment of cancer by antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy wherein the urease converts endogenous urea into ammonia in situ to induce cytotoxicity.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating cancer in humans are provided using CARs. The invention includes engineered CARs (chimeric receptor antigens) and genetically modified immune cells that express such a CAR with a high affinity for VEGFR. More specifically, the cells are CAR-T cells recognizing VEGFR-2 on solid tumors, uses thereof, compositions thereof and methods of making. The invention includes therapeutic methods to treat VEGFR-2 dependent cancers targeting tumor angiogenesis. A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that binds to VEGFR-2, an epitope or fragment thereof, or a variant thereof.

Abstract: A chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that binds to CEACAM6, an epitope or fragment thereof, or a variant thereof.

Abstract: Methods and compositions to restore function to acidified T cells are provided. The methods comprise administering urease to the T cells. Compositions comprise urease.

Abstract: A conjugate comprising an anti-VEGFR-2 antibody moiety conjugated to a urease moiety is described.

Abstract: Single domain anti-VEGFR-2 antibodies and fragments thereof and variants thereof and uses thereof, for example, for use to inhibit/decrease angiogenesis and induce tumor regression.

Abstract: Human prion protein, PrP, selectively presents the epitope MDEYSNQNN (SEQ ID No. 14) when PrP misfolds. The misfolded form of human PrP is associated with various disease states. The present invention provides an antibody useful to detect and treat such diseases, including cancer such as ovarian cancer and lymphomas, and transmissible spongiform encephalopathies such as CJD. Also provided is an immunoconjugate in which the antibody is conjugated with urease as cytotoxin.
