DEFINITION

Classification: 424/178.1

CONJUGATE OR COMPLEX OF MONOCLONAL OR POLYCLONAL ANTIBODY, IMMUNOGLOBULIN, OR FRAGMENT THEREOF WITH NONIMMUNOGLOBULIN MATERIAL:

(under the class definition) Subject matter involving a monoclonal or polyclonal antibody, immunoglobulin, or fragment thereof that is coupled to a nonimmunoglobulin material via a single covalent bond or via a linking chemical group, or which is coupled to a nonimmunoglobulin material via noncovalent means (e.g., via chelation or adsorption).

(1) Note. A conjugate is taken to mean a coupling of one substance to another via covalent means, either directly via a covalent bond or indirectly via a chemical linking group.

(2) Note. A complex is taken to mean a coupling of one substance to another via noncovalent means (e.g., via adsorption).

(3) Note. This subclass and indented subclasses provide for bioaffecting and body-treating compositions of conjugates or complexes of monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies, immunoglobulins, or fragments thereof with nonimmunoglobulin materials.

(4) Note. This subclass and indented subclasses also provide for bioaffecting and body-treating methods of using conjugates or complexes of monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies, immunoglobulins, or fragments thereof with nonimmunoglobulin materials or compositions thereof.
