A monoclonal antibody SZ39 against human brain gliomas was used as a drug carrier. Adriamycin (ADR) was bound covalently to SZ39 to form a SZ39-ADR conjugate. The cytotoxic activity of the SZ39-ADR conjugate was tested in vitro and demonstrated potent and specific killing of cells derived from a human malignant glioma. 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) for SZ39-ADR to 'target' cells was 8.14×10-9 M. An index of specificity between 'target' and 'non-target' cells was calculated to be 88-fold. These data suggest that the SZ39-ADR may use as a potent and cell type-specific agent and is a likely candidate for the targeting chemotherapy of malignant gliotnas.展开更多

Immunoconjugates showed a significantly stronger antitumor effect with a T/C (treated/ control tumor volume) of 30% as compared with free drug (T/C of 84%). The targeting treatment with immunoconjugates significantly prolonged 54% of median survival time of nude mice. Side effects of immunoconjugates on the normal bone marrow and small intestines were much slighter than those of the free drug. The results of this study indicate that the use of monoclonal antibodies as carriers of anti-tumor agents may have many therapeutic advantages and potential for the treatment of brain gliomas.展开更多

Binding inhibition test by SABC-ELISA method were performed for the measurement of the antigen level. Results showed that the associated antigen detected in feces of patients with colon cancer were significantly higher than that of non-cancer disease or normal subjects. The positive rates were 61.1% as detected with CL-2; 53.4% with CL-3; 55.0%, PS-9; and 53.3% PS-10 in cancer patients while that in normal subjects were 7%; 9%; 8%; and 8% respectively. When 'cocktail' of CL-2, PS-9 and PS-10 were used, the positive rates were 92.5% in colon cancer and 14% in normal subjects. In seven out of the sixty patients with colon cancer studied who were graded as Dukes A, the results were all positive. The results seem superior to the serologic detection and may provide a promising new approach in the early diagnosis of colon cancer.展开更多
