摘要

Formulations and methods of treating human patients suffering from a condition characterized by lymphoid cancer, autoimmune disease or B cell hyperproliferation are disclosed, the treatment comprising administering (1) a cytotoxic amount of an antibody having specific binding for CDIM epitopes on a B cell, and (2) a cytotoxic agent, including a chemotherapeutic agent, radioactive isotope, cytotoxic antibody, immunoconjugate, ligand conjugate, immunosuppressant, cell growth regulator and/or inhibitor, toxin, or mixtures thereof, including agents that disrupt the cytoskeleton of B cells, particularly vinca alkaloids or colchicine.
