The present disclosure relates generally to antibody-drug conjugates comprising peptide-containing linkers and to methods of using these conjugates as therapeutics and/or diagnostics. Also disclosed herein are peptide-containing scaffolds useful to conjugate with a targeting moiety (e.g., an antibody), a drug, or both to produce the antibody-drug conjugates.

An immune conjugate according to the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition, which can be used in the target-oriented drug treatment by conjugating a dendron allowing a plurality of drugs to be bound to a surface thereof and a target-directed antibody, and especially, can deliver high concentrations of drugs in a tumor-specific manner to exhibit a strong anticancer effect by conjugating a hydrophilic dendron, to which a plurality of anticancer drugs are bound, to an antibody.

Provided in the present invention is a linker and a preparation method thereof, wherein one end of the linker may covalently link a small molecule compound and the like and the other end may specifically and covalently link a targeting substance site under the action of Sortase enzyme. The linker of the present invention can be used to prepare a targeting drug conjugate.

The disclosure relates to a bioactive molecule conjugate, preparation methods and use thereof, particularly relates to a novel bioactive molecule conjugate obtained by improving coupling of the drug and the targeting moiety in an ADC or SMDC, as well as its preparation method and use in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a disease associated with an abnormal cell activity.

Also disclosed herein are peptide-containing scaffolds useful to conjugate with a targeting moiety (e.g., an antibody), a drug, or both to produce the antibody-drug conjugates.

Described herein are silicon based conjugates capable of delivering one or more payload moieties to a target cell or tissue. Contemplated conjugates may include a silicon-heteroatom core, one or more optional catalytic moieties, a targeting moiety that permits accumulation of the conjugate within a target cell or tissue, one or more payload moieties (e.g., a therapeutic agent or imaging agent), and two or more non-interfering moieties covalently bound to the silicon-heteroatom core.

The present disclosure provides nucleic acid carriers comprising targeting agents, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and methods of making and using the same.

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions comprising anti-CD74 and/or anti-HLA-DR antibodies for treatment of GVHD and other immune dysfunction diseases. In preferred embodiments, the anti-CD74 and/or anti-HLA-DR antibodies are effective to deplete antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells. Most preferably, administration of the therapeutic compositions depletes all subsets of APCs, including mDCs, pDCs, B cells and monocytes, without significant depletion of T cells. In alternative embodiments, administration of the therapeutic compositions suppresses proliferation of allo-reactive T cells, while preserving cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific, CD8.sup.+ memory T cells. The compositions and methods provide a novel conditioning regimen for preventing aGVHD and/or treating chronic GVHD, without altering preexisting anti-viral immunity.
