ANTIBODIES AGAINST TENB2 CONSTRUCTED WITH CYSTEINE, AND CONJUGATES, ANTIBODY-DRUG Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC C07K16/28 C07K19/00 C12P21/00 A61K39/395 A61P35/00 G01N33/53 

FIELD: biotechnologies.

SUBSTANCE: there proposed is an antibody specific to TENB2 containing light and heavy chains. Heavy chain contains substitution for free (reaction capable) cysteine A121C that corresponds to A114C (Kabat numbering) or A118C (Eu numbering). Conjugate versions are proposed for prostate cancer treatment containing antibody covalently bound to auristatin, also by means of linker. The following is described: pharmaceutical composition for prostate cancer treatment that uses as active beginning the antibody or its conjugate; product for prostate cancer treatment on the basis of such composition. The invention proposes: method for defining protein TENB2 in the sample - on the basis of antibody as well as analysis for revealing prostate cancer cells at mammal and method for cell proliferation inhibiting on the base of antibody conjugate and auristatin. There described is the method for obtaining antibody conjugate (Ab) and auristatin (D) with expression Ab-(L-D)_p, where p is equal from 1 to 4, and L is linker.

EFFECT: invention application provides conjugates with increased stability in serum in comparison with the same conjugates without A121C substitution in antibody that can be used in medicine.
