US Patent 9011864 Method of decreasing cytotoxic side-effects and improving efficacy of immunoconjugates

Disclosed are methods, compositions and kits for improving targeting, in particular tumor targeting, of immunoconjugates. The method and composition relies on the sequestration of non-target cells that also express the antigen the immunoconjugate targets. Sequestration of those non-target cells in a variety of ways is disclosed. The methods, compositions and kits allow appropriate sequestration of non-target cells while maintaining a high degree of effectiveness of the immunoconjugates against target cells.
