Abstract
Understanding of the functioning of MUC1 (human mucin) has advanced significantly over 40 years of its investigation. The anti-adhesive properties of the extracellular domain, which were the main focus of early studies initially explaining overexpression of MUC1 in progressing oncological diseases, were gradually put on the back burner. Researchers became more interested in its regulatory and signaling functions in cells rather in its anti-adhesive properties. The found the ability of MUC1 for signal transduction, and its ability to participate in cell metabolism opened new possibilities for improved control over cancer cells in addition to just attracting antigens of the immune system to a target. Nevertheless, there are issues in the functioning of MUC1 that raise doubts about its effectiveness in cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Despite significant improvements in injury prevention and emergency response, injury-related death and morbidity continues to increase in the US and worldwide. Patients with trauma, invasive operations, anti-cancer treatment, and organ transplantation produce a host of danger signals and high levels of pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic mediators, such as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs). DAMPs (e.g., nucleic acids, histone, high-mobility group box 1 protein, and S100) are molecules released from injured, stressed, or activated cells that act as endogenous ligands of innate immune receptors, whereas EVs (e.g., microparticle and exosome) are membranous vesicles budding off from plasma membranes and act as messengers between cells. DAMPs and EVs can stimulate multiple innate immune signaling pathways and coagulation cascades, and uncontrolled DAMP and EV production causes systemic inflammatory and thrombotic complications and secondary organ failure (SOF). Thus, DAMPs and EVs represent potential therapeutic targets and diagnostic biomarkers for SOF. High plasma levels of DAMPs and EVs have been positively correlated with mortality and morbidity of patients or animals with trauma or surgical insults. Blocking or neutralizing DAMPs using antibodies or small molecules has been demonstrated to ameliorate sepsis and SOF in animal models. Furthermore, a membrane immobilized with nucleic acid-binding polymers captured and removed multiple DAMPs and EVs from extracellular fluids, thereby preventing the onset of DAMP- and EV-induced inflammatory and thrombotic complications in vitro and in vivo. In this review, we will summarize the current state of knowledge of DAMPs, EVs, and SOF and discuss potential therapeutics and preventive intervention for organ failure secondary to trauma, surgery, anti-cancer therapy, and allogeneic transplantation.

Phase 1 clinical trial demonstrated that MUC1 positive metastatic seminal vesicle cancer can be effectively eradicated by modified Anti-MUC1 chimeric antigen receptor transduced T cells.

Abstract
Recent progress in chimeric antigen receptor-modified T-cell (CAR-T cell) technology in cancer therapy is extremely promising, especially in the treatment of patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In contrast, due to the hostile immunosuppressive microenvironment of a solid tumor, CAR T-cell accessibility and survival continue to pose a considerable challenge, which leads to their limited therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we constructed two anti-MUC1 CAR-T cell lines. One set of CAR-T cells contained SM3 single chain variable fragment (scFv) sequence specifically targeting the MUC1 antigen and co-expressing interleukin (IL) 12 (named SM3-CAR). The other CAR-T cell line carried the SM3 scFv sequence modified to improve its binding to MUC1 antigen (named pSM3-CAR) but did not co-express IL-12. When those two types of CAR-T cells were injected intratumorally into two independent metastatic lesions of the same MUC1(+) seminal vesicle cancer patient as part of an interventional treatment strategy, the initial results indicated no side-effects of the MUC1 targeting CAR-T cell approach, and patient serum cytokines responses were positive. Further evaluation showed that pSM3-CAR effectively caused tumor necrosis, providing new options for improved CAR-T therapy in solid tumors.

Abstract
Circulating proteinic biomarkers are secreted by tumor cells or by their environmental cells and they have a variable specificity. In case of breast cancer, carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) was for a long time the only circulating biomarker used. Nowadays, the most useful biomarkers measure circulating levels of fragments of MUC1-polymorphic epithelial mucin (MUC1-PEM): cancer antigen (CA) 15.3, mucin-like carcinoma-associated antigen (MCA), CA 27-29, CA 549... They are useful for general disease follow-up. Other circulating markers belonging to keratins (tissue polypeptide antigen, TPA, TPS or Cyfra 21.1) are correlated with proliferative activity of breast tumors. More recently, the measure of the c-erb B2 circulating part (extra cellular domain, ECD) was proposed as a prognostic biomarker for breast tumors with c-erb B2 overexpression. Moreover, the determination of urinary level of trefoil factor1 (PS2-TFF1) might be useful for the follow-up of hormonodependent breast cancers. The present review describes the clinical interest of these different circulating biomarkers in case of breast cancer, emphasizing their biological characteristics.

Abstract
PURPOSE The early detection and diagnosis of pancreatic cancer remains a major clinical challenge in which imaging procedures have a central role. The purpose of this study was to evaluate a pretargeting method with a bispecific PAM4 (bsPAM4; anti-MUC1) antibody for radioimmunoscintigraphy of experimental human pancreatic cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A bispecific F(ab')(2) antibody was generated from chimeric PAM4 Fab' and murine 734 (anti-indium-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) Fab' fragments and then used in conjunction with 2 peptide haptens ((111)In-IMP-156 and (99m)Tc-IMP-192). Biodistribution studies and radioimmunoscintigraphic imaging properties of the radiolabeled bsPAM4, and pretargeted, radiolabeled peptides were examined in the CaPan1 human pancreatic tumor grown as s.c. xenografts in athymic nude mice. Tumor uptake and tumor:nontumor ratios were compared with a nontargeting irrelevant anti-CD20, bispecific rituximab, radiolabeled peptides alone, and with directly labeled PAM4. RESULTS Biodistribution results indicated significantly greater tumor uptake of radiolabeled peptides at 3 h after injection when pretargeting was performed with bsPAM4 as compared with the bispecific rituximab [20.2 +/- 5.5 percentage of injected dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g) versus 0.9 +/- 0.1%ID/g, respectively, for (111)In-IMP-156, and 16.8 +/- 4.8%ID/g versus 1.1 +/- 0.2%ID/g, respectively, for (99m)Tc-IMP-192]. Similar results were obtained at the 24-h time point. Tumor:nontumor ratios were >30 for all of the tissues except the kidneys, where a ratio of 7.8 +/- 2.8 was observed. By immunoscintigraphy, tumors could be visualized as early as 30 min after injection of the radiolabeled peptide. CONCLUSIONS These studies demonstrate the feasibility of using the pretargeted, bispecific antibody technology for nuclear imaging of pancreatic cancer. The advantage of pretargeted bsPAM4 antibody as an imaging platform is the high specificity for pancreatic cancer as compared with the physicochemical parameters identified by current imaging technologies.

Abstract
The use of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) has significantly improved the ability to detect tumor antigens, thus improving in vivo tumor diagnosis and treatment. The management of ovarian carcinoma still poses a challenging medical problem. Clinical trials using radioimmunoscintigraphy or a hand-held gamma detection probe intraoperatively were performed in patients with clinical evidence of primary or recurrent ovarian cancer. Immunoscintigraphy of ovarian cancer lesions has been performed mainly with 99mTc, 111In and 123I labeled with HMFG1, HMFG2, OC-125, B72.3, H17E2, OVTL3, MoAb170, Mov18 and other MoAbs. Antibody guided imaging using radioimmunoscintigraphy has demonstrated improved targeting of ovarian cancer, resulting in a highly sensitive and specific method. However, it is not yet known which type of MoAb is the most efficient for radioimmunoscintigraphy. Since these tumors represent a potentially curable disease, radioimmunoscintigraphy could contribute mainly to accurate staging as a supplementary to conventional diagnostic methods, as well as for the localization of active disease after chemotherapy and monitoring for the presence of recurrent disease. Nevertheless, prospective studies in a large number of patients should be undertaken in order to further evaluate the diagnostic contribution of this approach.

Abstract
Radioimmunoscintigraphy (RIS) is coming into its own as an imaging modality in clinical oncology. Early experience with indium-111-labeled intact murine monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) in colorectal cancer suggested that RIS images hepatic metastases poorly. Moreover, an antimurine immune response was frequently provoked, precluding multiple follow-up RIS studies in individual patients due to reticuloendothelial sequestration of the radioimmunoconjugate before tumor targeting could occur. Recent trials of technetium-99m-labeled antibody fragments and human MoAbs have demonstrated significant improvement in imaging efficacy, and repeated or serial imaging is possible because of the absence of associated immunogenicity. RIS is demonstrably more sensitive than conventional diagnostic modalities (CDM) such as computed tomography (CT) for detection of extrahepatic abdominal and pelvic colorectal carcinoma and is complementary to CDM in imaging liver metastases. In a surgical decision-making analysis comparing CT, RIS (IMMU-4 99mTc-Fab'; CEA-Scan), and CT plus RIS in patients with recurrent or metastatic colorectal cancer, CT plus RIS improved correct prediction of resectability by 40% and correct prediction of unresectability by 100% compared with CT alone. At the present time, RIS used in combination with CDM contributes an incremental improvement in diagnostic accuracy in colorectal cancer patients with known or suspected recurrent disease. Basic and clinical research currently in progress promises to yield agents and methods that provide rapid high-resolution imaging, high tumor-to-background ratios in all organs at risk for tumor recurrence or metastasis, negligible immunogenicity and toxicity, and a significant further improvement in the accuracy of clinical decision making in oncology patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The technetium Tc 99m-labeled monoclonal antibody MAb-170 was designed for diagnostic use in patients with gynecologic adenocarcinoma. Our investigation was initiated to verify its usefulness for radioimmunoscintigraphy of ovarian tumors. STUDY DESIGN Most of the 82 patients participating in this study underwent immunoscintigraphy before first-look surgery. RESULTS Radioimmunoscintigraphy recognized 36 of 41 patients with adenocarcinoma of the ovaries, corresponding to an overall sensitivity of 88%. Specificity was 90% (38/42). The calculation of accuracy gave a result of 89% (74/83). Of 110 known lesions, 92 were visualized successfully; thus the local-regional sensitivity was 84%. Of 160 benign tumor sites, 154 showed no evidence of tracer accumulation, corresponding to a local-regional specificity of 96%. The smallest lesion visualized was an adenocarcinoma of the corpus uteri with a diameter of 1.5 cm. CONCLUSION The monoclonal antibody MAb-170 is a promising radiopharmaceutical for immunoscintigraphy of ovarian adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
The recently developed technetium-99m-labelled monoclonal antibody-170 (MAb-170) was designed for diagnostic use in patients suffering from gynaecological adenocarcinoma. Following in vitro studies which showed immunoreactivity of this antibody to more than 90% of human adenocarcinomas, the present investigation was initiated to verify its usefulness for radioimmunoscintigraphy of ovarian tumours. Most of the 30 patients participating in this study underwent immunoscintigraphy prior to first-look surgery. Biokinetic evaluation in two patients showed a plasma half-time of 18.9 h (mean value, n = 2, r = 0.98) and a biexponential total body curve with values of 7.7 h and 17 days (r = 0.98). The mean 24-h urinary excretion was 12% of the injected dose. Radioimmunoscintigraphy using the MAb-170 recognised 12 of 13 cases of adenocarcinoma of the ovaries, corresponding to an overall sensitivity of 92.3%. Specificity was 94.1% (16/17). The calculation of accuracy yielded a figure of 93.3% (28/30). Of 33 known lesions, 26 were visualised successfully; thus the locoregional sensitivity was 78.8%. Of 29 benign tumour sites, 28 showed no evidence of tracer accumulation, corresponding to a locoregional specificity of 96.6%. The smallest lesion visualised was an adenocarcinoma of the corpus uteri with a diameter of 1.5 cm. Technetium-99m labelled MAb-170 is a promising new radiopharmaceutical for immunoscintigraphy of ovarian adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
The anti-carcinoembryonic B2C114 monoclonal antibody was radiolabeled with 99mTc by a direct method and quality control tested in vitro by instant thin layer chromatography, gel column scanning and cellulose acetate electrophoresis and assessed in vivo for radioimmunodetection on a murine spontaneous mammary carcinoma. The optimal results of percent 99mTc bound to protein were obtained at a dithiothreitol:antibody molar ratio ranging from 800:1 to 1000:1 and at a methylene diphosphonate:stannous fluoride weight ratio of 4.3:1. Although cysteine removed up to 18% of the label during the first 4 h, the stability of the tracer appeared to be excellent in human serum at 37 degrees C and when challenged with DTPA. 99mTc-labeled B2C114 demonstrated good and specific in vivo tumor targeting.

Abstract
Radioimmunoscintigraphy (RIS)--using radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to image disease--is a growing subspecialty of nuclear medicine. RIS of the reproductive tracts of men and women has shown encouraging results in imaging both primary lesions and metastases of these cancers. Ovarian cancer is the most fatal gynecologic cancer in the United States, and prostate cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer in men. Several MoAbs against reproductive tumor antigens were used with limited success in clinical trials before 1989. Most recently, MoAbs CYT-103 (satumomab pendetide) and OV-TL 3 have shown promise as safe, sensitive imaging tools for ovarian cancer. Although to date more agents have been used to image ovarian carcinoma than prostate cancer, research has been restimulated in prostate carcinoma imaging because of development of a promising MoAb conjugate, CYT-356. Radionuclide indium-111 appears to be the most promising radiolabeled to date for ovarian and prostate carcinoma RIS performed in the United States. In future clinical trials, consideration of safety issues and a standardization of methods among institutions using RIS are needed before the use of MoAb technology in cancer imaging will become routine. Comparative studies with more traditional methods like computed tomography are needed, as well as more trials comparing radioimmunoscintigraphic findings with pathological evidence.

Abstract
Although radiolabelled monoclonal antibodies are useful in tumor imaging, in our opinion their most important role is in the evaluation of the capacity of newly developed monoclonal antibodies to localize in tumors specifically. Intravenous injections of monoclonal antibody fragments, labelled with beta-emitting radionuclides, can completely eradicate large human colon carcinoma xenografts in nude mice whereas this is not achieved by unconjugated monoclonal antibodies. New strategies are being developed to make radioimmunotherapy applicable to carcinoma patients.

Abstract
This paper reviews the current methods for radiolabelling monoclonal antibodies with particular emphasis on radiometals useful for radioimmunoscintigraphy. The discussion, however, is equally applicable to therapeutic radionuclides. The advantages and the pitfalls of the various techniques are critically evaluated. Both direct labeling methods, as well as indirect methods using the bifunctional chelating agent approach, are covered. Recent work on the development and synthesis of new and more specific chelating agents, including the approach of utilizing rigid polyaminocarboxylates, is described. Preliminary promising results with these newer generation chelating agents are presented.
