Abstract

Pharmaceutical compositions comprising antibody-urease conjugates and substantially free of unconjugated urease are disclosed. These compositions are prepared by a method that does not require chromatographic purification. These pharmaceutical compositions have utility in the treatment of cancer by antibody-directed enzyme prodrug therapy wherein the urease converts endogenous urea into ammonia in situ to induce cytotoxicity.
