Photosensitizing antibody-fluorophore conjugates
The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of killing cells in vitro or in vivo. In particular examples, the method includes contacting a cell having a cell surface protein with a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody-IR700 molecule, wherein the antibody specifically binds to the cell surface protein. In particular examples the antibody recognizes a tumor-specific antigen on the surface of a tumor cell. The cell is subsequently irradiated, such as at a wavelength of 660 to 740 nm at a dose of at least 1 J cm −2 , thereby killing the cell. Also provided are wearable devices that include an article of clothing, jewelry, or covering; and an NIR LED incorporated into the article, which can be used with the disclosed methods.
1. A phototoxic pharmaceutical composition, comprising:
a phototoxic conjugate comprising an IR700 molecule conjugated to an antibody that binds to a cell surface protein on a cell, wherein the antibody is an anti-CD25 antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof; and
a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
2. The phototoxic pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is daclizumab or basiliximab, or an antigen binding fragment thereof.
3. The phototoxic pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is daclizumab or an antigen binding fragment thereof.
4. The phototoxic pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is basiliximab or an antigen binding fragment thereof.
5. The phototoxic pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibody fragment is selected from a Fab fragment, a Fab′ fragment, a F(ab′) 2 fragment, a single chain Fv (scFv) or a disulfide stabilized Fv (dsFv).
6. The phototoxic pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the cell is a tumor cell.
7. A combination, comprising:
a first pharmaceutical composition comprising a phototoxic conjugate comprising an IR700 molecule conjugated to an antibody that binds to a cell surface protein on a cell, wherein the antibody is an anti-CD25 antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof; and
a second pharmaceutical composition comprising an additional therapeutic agent.
8. The combination of claim 7 , wherein the first and/or second composition comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
