Antibodies and meditopes that bind to the antibodies are provided, as well as complexes, compositions and combinations containing the meditopes and antibodies, and methods of producing, using, testing, and screening the same, including therapeutic and diagnostic methods and uses.

Meditopes and meditope-binding antibodies and uses thereof

Meditope variants and methods for their use are provided herein. A meditope variant as described herein comprises a peptide having a sequence CQFDLSTRRLKC (SEQ ID NO:1) or CQYNLSSRALKC (SEQ ID NO:2) that has one or more modifications at of least one amino acid residue of the sequence. Multivalent meditope variant tethering entities are also provided. Such entities may include two or more meditopes coupled via a long linker, multivalent scaffold, biotin-streptavidin, or IgG Fc domain. Further, methods of treating, imaging or diagnosing a disease or condition are provided. Such methods may include administering a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition to a subject, the pharmaceutical compound comprising an antibody-meditope complex; a multivalent tethering agent in combination with a monoclonal antibody or functional fragment thereof; or a combination thereof.

Meditopes and related meditope-monoclonal antibody delivery systems, synthesis and therapeutic uses thereof

Reaction vessels suitable for solid phase polymer synthesis generally comprise: a housing defining a chamber for containing a resin, said housing having an operable inlet port and an operable outlet port in fluid communication with said chamber; and an elongate resin filter having an interior bore, and adapted to enable filtered fluid flow from an exterior inlet surface thereof into the filter interior bore, said filter being disposed in said chamber and having an outlet connection fluidly coupling said filter interior bore to the housing outlet port such that fluid flowing through the housing inlet port into the chamber passes through the filter inlet surface, into the filter interior bore and out the housing outlet port.
