The monoclonal antibody nBT062 conjugated to maytansinoids has potent and selective cytotoxicity against CD138 positive multiple myeloma cells _in vitro_ and _in vivo_ [PDF]
CD138 (Syndecan1) is highly expressed on multiple myeloma (MM) cells. In this study, we examined the anti-MM effect of murine/human chimeric CD138-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) nBT062 conjugated with highly cytotoxic maytansinoid derivatives _in ...

A Multiepitope‐Based Lateral Flow Assay for Leprosy Antibodies
An innovative lateral flow assay for leprosy diagnosis is based on gold nanoparticles and synthetic Mycobacterium leprae epitopes conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin protein to enhance antibody detection. This strategy provides a rapid, accurate, and low‐cost approach for resource‐limited settings, enabling the early detection of infection. Leprosy

Immunoconjugates: Lessons from animal models
Monoclonal antibody-mediated cancer therapy has evolved through a challenging chain of problems and solutions. The very limited therapeutic success obtained with unarmed monoclonal antibodies has increased the interest in different antibody-based targeting strategies, and numerous preclinical and even clinical studies with immunoconjugates have now ...
