Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Antibodies which bind an antigen of the bone marrow neovasculature in leukemia patients, for use in treatment and diagnosis of leukemia, in particular the treatment and diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of treating acute myeloid leukemia in an individual in need thereof, said method consisting essentially of administering to said individual a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody that binds an antigen which is differentially expressed in the bone marrow neovasculature in acute myeloid leukemia patients, said antigen being the Extra Domain-A (ED-A) isoform of fibronectin and said antibody having an antigen binding site comprising a VH domain and a VL domain, said VH domain comprising a VH CDR1 of SEQ ID NO:16, a VH CDR2 of SEQ ID NO:17 and a VH CDR3 of SEQ ID NO:18, and said VL domain comprising a VL CDR1 of SEQ ID NO:19, a VL CDR2 of SEQ ID NO:20 and a VL CDR3 of SEQ ID NO:21. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is conjugated to a bioactive molecule, said bioactive molecule being selected from the group consisting of a cytokine, cytotoxic agent, photosensitizer and a therapeutic radioisotope. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the antibody is conjugated to the bioactive molecule via a cleavable linker. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the VH domain is the F8 V5L VH domain of SEQ ID NO:13and the VL domain is the F8 K18R VL domain of SEQ ID NO:15. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a small immunoprotein (SIP), scFv, or whole IgG molecule. 6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the VH domain is the F8 V5L VH domain of SEQ ID NO:13, and the VL domain is the F8 K18R VL domain of SEQ ID NO:15. 7. The method of claim 3 , wherein the VH domain is the F8 V5L VH domain of SEQ ID NO:13, and the VL domain is the F8 K18R VL domain of SEQ ID NO:15.
