Treating macular degeneration using antibodies to aminophospholipids

Disclosed are the surprising discoveries that aminophospholipids, such as phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine, are stable and specific markers accessible on the luminal surface of tumor blood vessels, and that the administration of an anti-aminophospholipid antibody alone is sufficient to induce thrombosis, tumor necrosis and tumor regression in vivo. This invention therefore provides anti-aminophospholipid antibody-based methods and compositions for use in the specific destruction of tumor blood vessels and in the treatment of solid tumors. Although various antibody conjugates and combinations are thus provided, the use of naked, or unconjugated, anti-phosphatidylserine antibodies is a particularly important aspect of the invention, due to simplicity and effectiveness of the approach.

Methods and compositions for treating cancer

Provided herein, in some embodiments, are methods and compositions (e.g., cell compositions) for the treatment of cancer. The methods and compositions involve genetically engineered immune cells (e.g., T cells), in which the endogenous CD70 gene is disrupted by genetic editing, for example, the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology.

Monoclonal antibody and derivatives

The present invention relates to a novel anti-CD146 antibody and derivatives thereof. The antibody and/or derivatives can be used for therapy and/or imaging, diagnosis and/or immunostaining.

Anti-ανβ6 antibodies

Monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to M.96. Also included are methods of using these antibodies to treat mammals having or at risk of having 006-mediated diseases, or to diagnose % Qmediated diseases.

Acute leukemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma-specific CD43 epitope and use thereof

The present invention relates to a CD43 epitope expressed on human acute leukemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma cells and its use. More particularly, the present invention relates to a CD43 epitope expressed on human acute leukemia, lymphoblastic lymphoma cells, but not on mature hematopoietic cells, hematopoietic stem cells and non-hematopoietic cells, and to its diagnostic and therapeutic application on acute leukemia and lymphoblastic lymphoma.

Multiple signaling pathways induced by hexavalent, monospecific and bispecific antibodies for enhanced toxicity to B-cell lymphomas and other diseases

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods of use comprising hexavalent DNL complexes. Preferably, the complexes comprise anti-CD20 and/or anti-CD22 antibodies or fragments thereof. More preferably, the anti-CD20 antibody is veltuzumab and the anti-CD22 antibody is epratuzumab. Administration of the subject hexavalent DNL complexes induces apoptosis and cell death of target cells in diseases such as B-cell lymphomas or leukemias, autoimmune disease or immune dysfunction disease. In most preferred embodiments, the DNL complexes increase levels of phosphorylated p38 and PTEN, decrease levels of phosphorylated Lyn, Akt, ERK, IKKα/β and IκBα, increase expression of RKIP and Bax and decrease expression of Mcl-1, Bcl-xL, Bcl-2, and phospho-BAD in target cells. The subject DNL complexes show EC.sub.50 values for inhibiting tumor cell growth in the low nanomolar or even sub-nanomolar concentration range.

ANTI-VEGFR ANTIBODY AND USES THEREOF

The present invention relates to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that bind human vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2). The present invention also relates to a method for inhibiting VEGFR-2-mediated signaling in a subject in need, a method for treating diseases and/or disorders caused by or related to VEGFR-2 activity and/or signaling in a subject afflicted with the diseases and disorders, a method for treating tumor in a subject afflicted with the tumor, a method for inhibiting cell proliferation of endothelial cells in a subject in need, and a method for detecting human vascular endothelial growth factor receptor in a sample.

ANTIBODIES FOR CHELATED RADIONUCLIDES AND CLEARING AGENTS
