Mesothelin is a differentiation antigen present on the surface of ovarian cancers, mesotheliomas and several other types of human cancers. Because among normal tissues, mesothelin is only present on mesothelial cells, it represents a good target for antibody mediated delivery of cytotoxic agents. The present invention is directed to anti-mesothelin antibodies, including Fv molecules with particularly high affinity for mesothelin, and immunoconjugates employing them. Also described are diagnostic and therapeutic methods using the antibodies. The anti-mesothelin antibodies are well-suited for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the ovary, stomach, squamous cells, mesotheliomas and other malignant cells expressing mesothelin.

Methods and compositions to elicit or enhance immunity in humans against self tumor antigens are disclosed. Such immunity is generated by immunization with homologous foreign proteins. Self tumor antigens include protein expression products of overexpressed human oncogenes, such as human HER-2/neu protein, and organ-specific or tissue-specific differentiation antigens, such as PAP or PSA, associated with tumor cells.

The invention relates to a monoclonal antibody capable of recognizing a human leukocyte differentiation antigen CK8, a secretory cell strain, a preparation method thereof and application in immunodetection. According to the technical scheme, 340-365 amino acid sequences at the C tail end of CK8 protein are selected as antigen peptides, and the antigen peptides are coupled with KLH carrier protein to obtain the immunogen; the amino acid sequence of the antigen peptide is shown as SEQID1, a mouse is immunized, and the mouse hybridoma cell strain 14C2 capable of efficiently secreting the anti-CK8 protein monoclonal antibody and the anti-CK8 protein monoclonal antibody secreted by the cell strain are obtained through cell fusion, screening and subcloning. The antibody obtained by the scheme has high specificity and sensitivity, can specifically recognize cells expressing the CK8 protein, and is suitable for immunological detection, especially immunohistochemical detection.

The present invention is related to the branch of immunology and particularly with the generation of pharmaceutical compositions containing a humanized monoclonal antibody recognizing the leukocyte differentiation antigen CD6. Accordingly with that statement, the purpose of this invention is to provide pharmaceutical compositions which contain a humanized anti-CD6 monoclonal antibody for the diagnosis and treatment of Autoimmune Diseases, particularly the Rheumatoid Arthritis.

The invention relates to the technical field of medical detection, in particular to a detection kit for minute residues of B-cell acute lymphocyte leukemia. The detection kit comprises anti CD10, CD19, CD20, CD34, CD38 and CD45 antibodies labeled by different fluoresceins. The detection kit comprises six monoclonal antibody combinations of leukocyte differentiation antigen, and a fluorescence labeling and flow cytometric detection technology is combined to realize that one-time flow cytometric detection can quickly and accurately identify the level and typing of abnormal cells of the minute residues of the B-cell acute lymphocyte leukemia, the obtained detection index can be used as an intermediate result to intuitively judge the prognosis conditions of B-cell acute lymphocyte leukemia patients, and thus important guiding significance is provided for the formulation of clinical treatment schemes for the leukemia patients.

A polypeptide has the antibody binding activity of the 46 Kdalton HMFG differentiation antigen and/or homology to at least one of the light chains of clotting factors V and VIII and is also provided as a fusion protein with a second antigenic polypeptide. An antibody has affinity for the polypeptide of the invention or a functional fragment thereof in vivo and in vitro methods for therapy vaccination and detecting the presence of the polypeptide, the antibody, the DNA and RNA of the invention are provided. DNA and RNA sequences encode the polypeptide of the invention or fragments thereof and immunoassay kits comprise the antibodies and/or polypeptides of the invention.

Mesothelin is a differentiation antigen present on the surface of ovarian cancers, mesotheliomas and several other types of human cancers. Because among normal tissues, mesothelin is only present on mesothelial cells, it represents a good target for antibody mediated delivery of cytotoxic agents. The present invention is directed to improved recombinant immunotoxins comprising anti-mesothelin antibodies, including Fv molecules with particularly high affinity for mesothelin, and a Pseudomonas Exotoxin moiety which has been modified to reduce its immunogenicity and protease sensitivity and providing a better cytotoxicity for cells which express mesothelin. The RITs are well-suited for the treatment of cancers of the ovary, stomach, squamous cells, mesotheliomas and other malignant cells expressing mesothelin.

The invention discloses an IL-2 and MART-1 dual-gene co-expression recombinant vector, which is sequentially linked with an IL-2 gene, an IRES sequence and an MART-1 gene in a vector transcription direction, or is sequentially linked with an MART-1 gene, an IRES sequence and an IL-2 gene in a vector transcription direction, wherein nucleotide sequence of the IL-2 gene is represented in SEQ ID NO: 1 in a sequence list, nucleotide sequence of the MART-1 gene is represented in SEQ ID NO: 2 in the sequence list, and nucleotide sequence of the IRES sequence is represented in SEQ ID NO: 3 in the sequence list. The dual-gene co-expression recombinant vector, which links the IL-2 gene and the MART-1 gene through the IRES sequence, can simultaneously express a human melanin differentiation antigen and interleukin-2; the recombinant vector, in immunogene therapy of melanin, not only can develop an immune regulating function of a cell factor but also can generate a specific anti-tumor effect aiming at the melanin.

The invention provides an antibody detection kit. The antibody detection kit comprises an antibody of a programmed death receptor 1 and antibodies of at least three cluster differentiation antigens. The antibody of the programmed death receptor 1 and the antibody of each cluster differentiation antigen carry different fluoresceins, the at least three cluster differentiation antigens comprise a mature T cell surface marker, an auxiliary T cell surface marker and a cytotoxic T cell surface marker, and can be used for rapidly investigating the expression condition of PD-1 protein, and the staining index of fluorescein carried by the antibody of the programmed death receptor 1 is higher than that of fluorescein carried by the antibody of each cluster differentiation antigen, so that the expression condition of the PD-1 protein can be accurately investigated. The invention also provides application of the antibody detection kit in immunoassay.

Tolerance of the immune system for endogenous TRP2 can be overcome and an immune response stimulated by administration of xenogeneic or xenoexpressed TRP2 antigen. For example, mouse TRP2, or antigenically-effective portions thereof, can be used to stimulate an immune response to the corresponding differentiation antigen in a human subject. Administration of xenogeneic antigens in accordance with the invention results in an effective immunity against TRP2 expressed by the cancer in the treated individual, thus providing a therapeutic approach to the treatment of cancers expressing TRP2, such as melanoma.

The invention discloses a GM-CSF (Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor) and MART-1 (Melanoma Antigen Recognized By T-Cells 1) dual-gene co-expression recombinant vector. The GM-CSF and MART-1 dual-gene co-expression recombinant vector is characterized that a GM-CSF gene, an IRES (Internal Ribosome Entry Sequence) and an MART-1 gene are connected in sequence along the vector transcription direction, or the MART-1 gene, IRES and GM-CSF gene are connected in sequence along the vector transcription direction; a nucleotide sequence of the GM-CSF gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO:1 in a sequence table; the nucleotide sequence of the MART-1 gene is as shown in SEQ ID NO:2 in the sequence table; the nucleotide sequence of the IRES is as shown in SEQ ID NO:3 in the sequence table. According to the dual-gene co-expression recombinant vector, the IRES sequence is utilized for connecting the GM-CSF gene with the MART-1 gene, and thus human melanoma differentiation antigen and the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor can be expressed in the same vector at the same time; the recombinant vector can be applied to immunogene therapy of melanoma, enables the immune regulation effect of cytokines to be played, and can also produce specific anti-tumor effect for malignant melanoma in a targeting way.
