The compositions and methods provide herein include, inter alia, antibodies attached to single-stranded oligoribonucleotides. Two antibodies are capable of forming complexes in vivo through hybridization of the respective complementary oligoribonucleotides they are bound to. For example, a first antibody bound to a first oligoribonucleotide through a first chemical linker may be administered to a subject, bind to a cell surface antigen in vivo and subsequently form an antibody complex in vivo with a second antibody bound to a second oligoribonucleotide through a second chemical linker, through complementary base-pairing between the first and the second oligoribonucleotide. The compositions and methods provided herein are, inter alia, useful for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, for example, the treatment of cancer or autoimmune disease.

Complementary RNA linked bispecific T-cell engaging antibodies

Provided herein are cell penetrating conjugates. The conjugates include a non-cell penetrating protein attached to a phosphorothioate nucleic acid or phosphorothioate polymer backbone, wherein the phosphorothioate nucleic acid or phosphorothioate polymer backbone enhances intracellular delivery of the non-cell penetrating protein. Also provided are compositions and kits comprising the cojugates.

Vinylsulfone-based 18F-labeling compositions and methods and uses thereof

An assay element is described including recognition ligands adapted for binding to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) bound to a film on a single mode planar optical waveguide, the film from the group of a membrane, a polymerized bilayer membrane, and a self-assembled monolayer containing polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol groups therein and an assay process for detecting the presence of CEA is described including injecting a possible CEA-containing sample into a sensor cell including the assay element, maintaining the sample within the sensor cell for time sufficient for binding to occur between CEA present within the sample and the recognition ligands, injecting a solution including a reporter ligand into the sensor cell; and, interrogating the sample within the sensor cell with excitation light from the waveguide, the excitation light provided by an evanescent field of the single mode penetrating into the biological target-containing sample to a distance of less than about 200 nanometers from the waveguide thereby exciting any bound reporter ligand within a distance of less than about 200 nanometers from the waveguide and resulting in a detectable signal.
