Conjugation methods

This invention describes a method of conjugating a cell binding agent such as an antibody with an effector group (e.g., a cytotoxic agent) or a reporter group (e.g., a radionuclide), whereby the reporter or effector group is first reacted with a bifunctional linker and the mixture is then used without purification for the conjugation reaction with the cell binding agent. The method described in this invention is advantageous for preparation of stably-linked conjugates of cell binding agents, such as antibodies with effector or reporter groups. This conjugation method provides in high yields conjugates of high purity and homogeneity that are without inter-chain cross-linking and inactivated linker residues

Treatment for heart disease

InactiveUS20070059288A1Poor cell survival and engraftmentImprove heart functionBiocideVirusesDiseaseCORONARY ARTERY DISEASE/MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
The present invention provides a system for treating heart disease using a combination of pro-angiogenesis therapy and cellular cardiomyoplasty. The system is particularly useful in treating patients with damaged myocardium due coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and ischemia. A pro-angiogenic factor (e.g., VEGF) or a means of delivering a pro-angiogenic factor (e.g., a genetically engineered adenovirus, adeno-asssociated virus, or cells) is administered to the heart in order to promote new blood vessel growth in an ischemic or damaged area of the patient's heart. Cells such as skeletal myoblasts or stem cells (e.g., mesenchymal stem cells) with the potential to divide, differentiate, and integrate themselves into the injured myocardium are then administered into the affected area of the heart. By inducing new blood vessels growth in the injured myocardium, the cells are better able to grow and become an integral part of the heart. The invention also provides kits for use in treating a patient using the inventive method. Such kits may contain cells, catheters, syringes, needles, cell culture materials, polynucleotides, media, buffers, etc.
