Materials and methods for treating potentially chemoresistant tumors (e.g., using DNA-PKcs inhibitors and anti-B7-H1 antibodies) are provided herein.

Materials and methods for treating potentially chemoresistant tumors (e.g., using DNA-PKcs inhibitors and anti-B7-H1 antibodies) are provided herein.

Administration regimens for therapeutic proteins (e.g., T cell-activating bispecific antibodies) that mitigate cytokine release syndrome and infusion-related reaction are disclosed. The methods employ initial fractional dosing with optional administration of additional agents such as steroids or cytokine antagonists that are discontinued with maximal weekly dosing over the course of the dosing regimen.

Disclosed herein is a novel compound of formula (I) for detecting circulating cancerous cells, particularly, cholangio-cancerous cells, from a biological sample, ##STR00001##
wherein, R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently H, or —SO.sub.3M; and M is a monovalent cation selected from the group consisting of sodium ion, potassium ion, lithium ion or ammonium ion. Also disclosed herein is a method of treating and detecting cholangio-cancerous cells from a biological sample of a subject suspected of having cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). The method includes steps of, contacting the biological sample with a magnetic bead pre-coated with the compound of formula (I); detecting a complex formed between the magnetic bead and the biological sample in an immunoassay; and administering to the subject an effective amount of a chemotherapeutic agent to ameliorate symptoms associated with the CCA.
