Methods for the treatment of lymphoma by administration of a B cell-specific antibody are described. The invention encompasses providing to a patient both unlabeled antibodies and antibodies labeled with a radioisotope. A principal advantage of the method is that tumor responses can be obtained in a radiometric dose range that does not require hematopoietic stem cell replacement as an adjunct therapy also described is a composition useful in the treatment of lymphoma.

Described herein are compositions and methods of use of radionuclide-antibody conjugates (for RAIT) and drug-antibody conjugates (ADC). The combination of RAIT and ADC was more efficacious than either RAIT alone, ADC alone, or the sum of effects of RAIT and ADC. The unexpected synergy resulted in decreased tumor growth rate and increased survival, with a high incidence of tumor-free survival in Capan-1 human pancreatic cancer xenografts in nude mice.

The present invention relates to a method for treating non-melanotic cancers by administration of PABA. The present invention also relates to the potentiation of standard cancer treatment of radiation, radioimmunotherapy, and/or chemotherapy using PABA.

The current invention relates to the development and methods of use of a recombinant agonistic antibody anti-human CD137, and glycosylation variants thereof. These antibodies act as anti-cancer agents and/or immune modulators that are effective in shrinking solid tumors or other cancerous indications and preventing their recurrence. The types of cancer for which the contemplated antibody is effective in treating also include leukemia and lymphoma. In a preferred imbodiment the recombinant antibodies of the current invention were produced in and purified from the milk of transgenic animals. In another preferred embodiment of the current invention the agonistic anti-CD137 antibodies of the invention can be conjugated to radionuclides for radioimmunodetection or radioimmunotherapeutic purposes, or conjugated to a toxin for enhanced therapeutic treatment of various cancers.

Methods and kits for radiolabeling proteins, peptides and ligands with radiolytic isotopes, particularly yttrium-90, are disclosed, whereby sufficient purity, specific activity and binding affinity are achieved such that the radiolabeled protein may be directly administered to a patient without further column purification. Such kits and methods will be particularly useful in bringing radioimmunotherapy to the hospital and outpatient setting for the treatment of cancer.

The present invention is directed to monoclonal, chimeric or humanized, antibodies or antibody-like molecules that recognize an epitope common to human acidic and basic isoferritins. The anti-ferritin antibodies or antibody-like molecules can be used in pharmaceutical compositions for immunotherapy or radioimmunotherapy to target various cancer cells in a mammal. A method for delivering anti-ferritin antibodies or antibody-like molecules to cancerous lymph cells, pancreatic cells, lymphatic endothelium cells, and liver cells is also disclosed, as well as methods for treating pancreatic cancer, hepatocellular carcinomas, Kaposi's sarcoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Methods are described for conjugating radioiodinated non-metabolizable peptides to proteins and antibodies with improved yields and qualities of conjugates. Radioiodinated residualizing antibody conjugates comprising any aminopolycarboxylate-appended peptide, or any carbohydrate-appended peptide, are also provided. Additionally, methods are described for conjugating radioiodinated aminopolycarboxylates to proteins and antibodies, as well as for conjugating radioiodinated non-metabolizable carbohydrates to proteins and antibodies by a variety of chemical approaches. The instant radioiodinated residualizing antibody conjugates are particularly stable in vivo and are suitable for radioimmunodetection and radioimmunotherapy.

The invention relates to a chelate resulting from the complexing of a trans-di-N-picolinate tetraazacycloalkane ligand with a metal cation, said ligand corresponding to formula (A) wherein n is equal to 0 or to 1, R is H or a C1-C18 alkyl radical, and R′ is H or a C1 -C18 alkyl radical, said metal cation being a cation of a metal selected from the group consisting of lead (II) and bismuth (III). The invention is applicable in the field of lead trapping and alpha-radioimmunotherapy.

Methods and compositions are provided for treating and imaging a virus-associated cancer, where the methods comprise administering to a subject a radiolabeled binding molecule, wherein the binding molecule binds to a virus antigen expressed by virus-associated cancer cells in the subject.
