This invention describes a bioerodible fibrin material which is obtained by mixing fibrinogen and thrombin reconstituted or diluted with a particular high tonic strength medium, free of calcium. Such a fibrin-based biomaterial develops a tight structure with thin fibers and small pore size suitable for use as an anti-adhesion barrier. In this invention, thrombin is no longer the variable which governs the tightness and the porosity of the fibrin material obtained, but still controls the clotting time. The mechanical behavior, high-water capacity, and releasable retention properties for therapeutic agents of this fibrin structure causes the fibrin material to be ideally suited for use as a drug delivery device, capable of delivering proteins, hormones, enzymes, antibiotics, antineoplastic agents and even cells for local and systemic treatment of human and non-human patients.

Methods and compositions are disclosed for inducing differentiation and apoptosis in cells that overexpress Notch proteins. A cell fate determining function of Notch is specifically disrupted at a time when the cell is undergoing differentiation, which causes the cell to undergo apoptosis. The invention includes therapies for tumors that overexpress a Notch protein (such as Notch-1) by inducing differentiation of the cells in the tumor with a differentiation inducing agent, such as HMBA, in combination with an agent that disrupts the function of the Notch protein. At a time during which differentiation has been promoted, and the cell is susceptible to interference with the anti-apoptosis effect of Notch, the function of the Notch protein is disrupted. Disruption of Notch function can be achieved, for example, by a differentiation inducing agent, such as HMBA, combined with antibodies that specifically bind to Notch and inactivate it, for example a monoclonal antibody that recognizes Notch-1 EGF-like repeats 11 and 12, such as monoclonal antibodies A6, C11 or F3. Disruption of Notch function can also be achieved by the expression of antisense oligonucleotides that specifically interfere with expression of the Notch protein on the cell, alone or in combination with antineoplastic agents.

The present invention relates to an antibody binding to Claudin6 (CLDN6) expressed on a cell membrane. The antibody of the present invention recognizes human CLDN6 present in a native form on cell membrane surface and exhibits cytotoxicity through ADCC and / or CDC activities against cancer cell lines highly expressing human CLDN6. Moreover, the antibody of the present invention has cell growth inhibitory effect through conjugation with toxin on cancer cell lines highly expressing human CLDN6. The human CLDN6 is overexpressed in tumor tissues (lung adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, and ovarian cancer), although its expression is not observed in normal tissues. Thus, the anti-CLDN6 antibody is expected to highly accumulate in tumors highly expressing human CLDN6 and can serve as a very effective antitumor agent.
