This invention describes methods of using anti-B cell antibodies, preferably anti-CD20 antibodies, and most preferably Rituximab, to treat B cell lymphomas of the brain, especially primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSLs), and to prevent meningeal relapse. The antibodies can be administered intrathecally alone, or in combination with other chemotherapeutics, such as methotrexate, or other anti-B cell antibodies to treat PCNSL in both immunocompromised and non-immunocompromised patients. These antibodies can also be used to diagnose patients with CNS lymphoma, especially in immunocompromised patients.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of otic disorders with otic structure modulating compositions administered locally to an individual afflicted with an otic disorder, through direct application of these compositions and compositions onto or via perfusion into the targeted auris structure(s).

Anti-polyubiquitin monoclonal antibodies, and methods for using the antibodies, are provided.

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of otic diseases or conditions with free-radical modulating agent compositions and formulations administered locally to an individual afflicted with an otic disease or condition, through direct application of these compositions and formulations onto or via perfusion into the targeted auris structure(s).

There is disclosed an isolated, modified recombinant β-glucuronidase wherein the modification is having its carbohydrate moeties chemically modified so as to reduce its activity with respect to mannose and mannose 6-phosphate cellular delivery system while retaining enzymatic activity Also disclosed are methods for the treatment of lysosomal storage disease in mammals wherein the mammal is administered a therapeutically effective amount of isolated, modified recombinant β-glucuronidase whereby said storage diseased is relieved in the brain and visceral organs of the mammal. Also disclosed are other lysosomal enzymes within the scope of the invention.

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising a fatty acid salt, a dicarboxylic acid salt, an alkyl sulfate salt, an aryl sulfate salt or an alkyl aryl sulfonate salt of methylene blue or a derivative of methylene blue are described herein. The compositions are preferably administered orally and can be administered as tablets, soft or hard shell capsules (e.g. soft gelatin capsules), suspensions or solutions. The composition can also be formulated as a suppository or enema or rectal administration. The compositions further comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Suitable excipients include diluents, binders, plasticizers, lubricants, disintegrants, colorants, stabilizers, surfactants, and combinations thereof. The fatty acid salts, alkyl sulate salts, aryl sulfate salts or alkyl aryl sulfonate salts can be co-mixed or co-melted with one or more fatty acids to make more hydrophobic compositions, which may result in less staining formulations. The compositions can be formulated for immediate release, controlled release such as extended release, delayed release, and pulsatile release, or combinations thereof. In one embodiment, the derivative of methylene blue is methylene dodecylsulfate.

The present invention provides mutant antibodies with infinite affinity for a target antigen. The antibodies comprise a mutant amino acid at a position within or proximate to a complimentarity determining region of the antibody and a linker covalently bound to the mutant amino acid, the linker comprising a reactive functional group. Subsequent to binding an antigen, the reactive functional group is converted to a covalent bond by reaction with a group of complementary reactivity on the bound antigen. The invention also provides bispecific antibodies with infinite binding affinity that comprise a second domain that specifically binds a metal chelate. The invention further provides methods of using such antibodies to diagnose and treat diseases and conditions.

The present invention provides non-glycosylated monovalent antibodies with a long half-life when administered in vivo, methods of making such monovalent antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such antibodies, and uses of the monovalent antibodies.

Conjugates of a GLP-I moiety may be covalently attached to one or more water-soluble polymers. For instance, a GLP-I polymer conjugate may include a GLP-I moiety releasably attached at its N-terminus to a water-soluble polymer. The GLP-I polymer conjugate may include a GLP-I moiety covalently attached to a water-soluble polymer, wherein the GLP-I moiety possesses an N-methyl substituent. The GLP-I polymer conjugate may include a GLP-I moiety covalently attached at a polymer attachment site to a water-soluble polymer, wherein the GLP-I moiety is glycosylated at a site separate from the polymer attachment site.

Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of antibodies that bind GCC are disclosed. In some embodiments, the antibodies are humanized, chimeric or human. Nucleic acids and vectors encoding the antibodies or portions thereof, recombinant cells that contain the nucleic acids, and compositions comprising the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments are also disclosed. The invention also provides therapeutic and diagnostic methods utilizing the antibodies and antigen-binding

Compounds having an effect as i.a. galectin inhibitors, to the use of said compounds as a medicament, as well as for the manufacture of a medicament for treatment of disorders relating to the binding of galectin to receptors in a mammal, where in the galectin is preferably a galectin-3. The novel compounds are defined by the general formula:

The present invention relates to a group of new oligonucleotides sequences with human tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) inhibiting activity, which includes DNA sequences and RNA sequences. These oligonucleotides or aptamer can specifically be bound to TNF-α and inhibit the cytoxicity of TNF-α to L929 cells. Therefore, the aptamer of the present invention may be used to detect TNF-α and provide a therapeutic method for diseases related to the increasing level of TNF-α. Compared with other TNF antagonists such as monoclonal antibody and soluble receptor, the present invention has high specificity, high affinity, quick penetration to target tissue, rapid plasma clearance, and lower immunogenecity. Turthermore, it can be used repeatedly and keeps high concentration in target tissue and the like. It has the advantages of affinity and specificity similar to monoclonal antibodies and also has permeability and pharmacokinetics characteristics similar to small molecular polypeptide. The present invention also refers to derivative of the oligonucleotides sequence, including modified sequence. The present invention may further be manufactured as medicine for therapy and diagnosis of TNF-α related diseases.
