The antibody NEO-201 is shown to bind to Treg cells, and its use in targeting Treg cells is described. NEO-201 may be used for isolation, detection, or purification of active Treg cells and also to kill Treg cells. Therapeutic methods and combination therapies using NEO-201 optionally in combination with another agent are described.

Methods and compositions for targeting Treg cells

NEO-201 is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that is highly reactive against the majority of tumor tissues from many different carcinomas, including colon, pancreatic, stomach, lung, breast, and uterine cancers, but the overwhelming majority of normal tissues are not recognized by this antibody. Functional assays revealed that NEO-201 is capable of mediating both antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) against tumor cells. Furthermore, the growth of human pancreatic xenograft tumors in vivo was largely attenuated by treatment with NEO-201 both alone and in combination with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) as an effector cell source for ADCC. In vivo biodistribution studies in human tumor xenograft-bearing mice revealed that NEO-201 preferentially accumulates in the tumor but not organ tissue. A single-dose toxicity study in non-human primates demonstrated safety and tolerability of NEO-201, as a transient decrease in circulating neutrophils was the only related adverse effect observed.

Monoclonal antibody neo-201 for the treatment of human carcinomas

This invention relates to humanized antibodies that selectively bind the 31.1 epitope on the A33 protein differentially expressed in cancers including, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, pancreas cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer, and diagnostic and therapeutic usages.

Humanized monoclonal antibodies and methods of use for the diagnosis and treatment of colon and pancreas cancer

This invention relates to antibodies to anti-cancer antibodies and uses thereof, including combination therapies and compositions. Combinations targeting the extrinsic, intrinsic, or common pro-apoptotic pathways are provided. Exemplary anti-cancer antibodies are differentially expressed in cancers, such as antibodies targeting the bind the antigens NPC-1, 16C3, or 31.1. Exemplary anti-cancer antibodies target lung cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, uterine cancer, pancreas cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer.
