Abstract

A novel method for preparing soluble antibody fragment compositions having superior characteristics for targeted delivery when administered in vivo are disclosed. The antibody fragment compositions are characterized by substantially the same immunospecificity as the unconjugated antibody and aqueous solubility such that they are suitable for in vivo administration. Therapeutic and diagnostic methods utilizing the antibody fragment compositions are also disclosed.
