Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of immunology and hyperproliferative diseases. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of detecting and monitoring therapeutic antibody:antigen complex, soluble antigen and soluble therapeutic antibody, wherein a patient has undergone at least one course of immunotherapy. Yet further, levels of therapeutic antibody:antigen complexes, soluble antigens or soluble therapeutic antibodies may be measured and used to stage or monitor a hyperproliferative disease.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 .- 3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . A method of an immunotherapy comprising administering to a patient a therapeutic antibody and detecting the presence of a circulating antibody:antigen complex. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the antibody binds to a soluble antigen. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the antigen is shed from the cell surface. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the antigen is CD20, CD52 or CD33. 
     
     
         8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . A method of detecting a therapeutic antibody:antigen complex comprising:
 obtaining a sample from a patient, wherein the patient has undergone a course of immunotherapy with a therapeutic antibody in which the therapeutic antibody binds to a soluble circulating target antigen forming the complex;   contacting the sample with a first monoclonal antibody, wherein the antibody captures the complex;   contacting the complex with a labeled second antibody; and   measuring the labeled complex.   
     
     
         10 .- 12 . (canceled) 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the first monoclonal antibody is anti-CD20, anti-CD52 or anti-CD33. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the therapeutic antibodies are anti-CD20, anti-CD52 or anti-CD33. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the therapeutic antibody is Rituximab. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the therapeutic antibody is Campath-1H. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the therapeutic antibody is Mylotarg. 
     
     
         18 .- 19 . (canceled) 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the therapeutic antibody is anti-CD20, anti-CD52 or anti-CD33. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the therapeutic antibody is Rituximab. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the therapeutic antibody is Campath-1H. 
     
     
         23 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the therapeutic antibody is Mylotarg. 
     
     
         24 .- 32 . (canceled) 
     
     
         33 . A method of monitoring an autoimmune disease comprising measuring a therapeutic antibody:antigen complex in the patient serum. 
     
     
         34 . The method of  claim 33 , wherein the therapeutic antibody is anti-CD52. 
     
     
         35 . The method of  claim 34 , wherein the therapeutic anti-CD52 is Campath-1H. 
     
     
         36 . The method of  claim 33  further comprising measuring a second therapeutic antibody:antigen complex. 
     
     
         37 . The method of  claim 36 , wherein the second therapeutic antibody is anti-CD20. 
     
     
         38 .- 73 . (canceled)
