Abstract
Treatment of B-cell associated diseases including autoimmune and B-cell malignancies such as leukemias, lymphomas, using the combination of an anti-CD20 antibody, preferably RITUXAN® and a radiolabeled anti-CD22 antibody, preferably anY labeled humanized anti-CD22 antibody, is described. These therapeutic regimens provide for enhanced depletion of B cells, and therefore reduce the risk in B cell malignancy treatment of relapse associated with RITUXAN® and, moreover, provide for prolonged immunosuppression of B-cell immune responses, especially in the context of autoimmune diseases and transplant.
