  • Patent number: 9045750
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, methods for covalently or non-covalently conjugating an antibody (e.g., hu3S193 or other humanized antibody) or functional fragment thereof with an siRNA molecule (e.g., anti-STAT3 siRNA) is provided. Such methods may include (1) modifying an antibody or functional fragment thereof with a linker to provide a linker-modified antibody, combining a target siRNA with a disulfide containing aldehyde linker to provide a linker-modified target siRNA and combining the linker-modified target siRNA with linker-modified antibody to form an antibody-siRNA complex; or (2) modifying an antibody or functional fragment thereof with a (Arginine)9 peptide to form an antibody-9R complex and associating an siRNA molecule with the antibody-9R complex to form an electrostatic antibody-9R:siRNA complex. In another embodiment, an antibody-siRNA conjugate may be used in methods for suppressing or silencing STAT3 protein expression in a cancer cell.

  • Patent number: 8796202
    Abstract: A composition used to develop a reagent for investigating Ubl-modifications in cellular functions and in the treatment of cancer is provided. The composition comprises gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-ligand conjugates that include at least two components: gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and modified ubiquitin- or ubiquitin-like interacting motif (UIM or ULIM) mimetics. In one embodiment, the modified ULM mimetic is a modified SUMO interaction motif (SIM) mimetic. According to the embodiments described herein, the compound inhibits ubiquitin- or ubiquitin-like protein (Ubl)-mediated protein-protein interactions and sensitizes cells to ionizing radiation. The modified UIM and ULIM mimetics may be conjugated to the AuNP such that each AuNP is conjugated to a plurality of modified UIM or ULIM mimetics. The modified ULIM mimetics may be conjugated to the AuNP via a thiol group.

  • Patent number: 8658774
    Abstract: Meditope variants and methods for their use are provided herein. A meditope variant as described herein comprises a peptide having a sequence CQFDLSTRRLKC (SEQ ID NO:1) or CQYNLSSRALKC (SEQ ID NO:2) that has one or more modifications at of least one amino acid residue of the sequence. Multivalent meditope variant tethering entities are also provided. Such entities may include two or more meditopes coupled via a long linker, multivalent scaffold, biotin-streptavidin, or IgG Fc domain. Further, methods of treating, imaging or diagnosing a disease or condition are provided. Such methods may include administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition to a subject, the pharmaceutical compound comprising an antibody-meditope complex; a multivalent tethering agent in combination with a monoclonal antibody or functional fragment thereof; or a combination thereof.
