The present invention provides a method for inhibiting immunoglobulin-induced toxicity resulting from immunotherapy in a subject comprising administering an immunoglobulin or Ig fusion protein molecule to the subject, the immunoglobulin molecule having a variable region and a constant region, the immunoglobulin molecule being modified prior to administration by inactivation of at least a portion of the constant region.

Method for inhibiting immunoglobulin-induced toxicity resulting from the use of immunoglobulins in therapy and in vivo diagnosis

The present invention provides mutant BR96 polypeptides having a variable region comprising an amino acid sequence derived from the variable region of BR96.

Mutant BR96 antibodies reactive with human carcinomas

The present invention provides mutant BR96 polypeptides (and nucleotide sequences encoding them) having a variable region comprising an amino acid sequence derived from the variable region of BR96.

Methods and reagents are provided for a novel immunodiagnostic test for the presence of P. aeruginosa in a biological sample. Monoclonal antibodies are employed which bind to an outer membrane protein antigen, which may be exposed by a solubilizing reagent. The antibody binds substantially all strains of P. aeruginosa. No cross-reactivity with other species of Pseudomonas or with other clinically significant gram-negative or gram-positive species is observed. Conjugating the monoclonal antibody of the invention with a fluorescent label provides for a rapid and sensitive direct immunofluorescent test for P. aeruginosa.

Diagnostic test for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections

Cell lines have been produced that secrete human monoclonal antibodies capable of binding to the lipopolysaccharide molecules of selected Pseudomonas aeruginosa IATS serotypes. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these antibodies, which can be in combination with other monoclonal antibodies, blood plasma fractions and antimicrobial agents, and the prophylactic and therapeutic use of such compositions in the management of infections are included. Prior to filing of this patent application the continuous transformed human cell lines 1C1, 6D6 and 8H7 described herein were deposited in the American Type Culture Collection and given the designations CRL 8941, 9171, and 9258, respectively.

Monoclonal antibodies cross-reactive and cross-protective against P.

Cell lines have been produced that secrete monoclonal antibodies capable of binding to the flagellar proteins of selected Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains. Some of these antibodies have been found to be protective against lethal challenges of P. aeruginosa. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these antibodies, which can be in combination with other monoclonal antibodies, blood plasma fractions and antimicrobial agents, and the prophylactic and therapeutic use of such compositions in the management of infections, are included. Prior to filing this application, the continuous transformed cell lines PaF4 IVE8, FA6 IIG5, 20H11, and 21B8, described herein, were deposited in the America Type Culture Collection and given the designations HB9129, HB9130, CRL 9300, and CRL 9301, respectively.
