Antibodies are widely used in diagnostic applications for clinical medicine. Analysis of cells and tissues in pathology laboratories includes the use of antibodies on tissue sections. Further, antibodies are making rapid inroads into medical therapeutics, driven by technological evolution from chimeric and humanized to fully human antibodies. The therapeutic antibody market has the potential to reach $30 billion by 2010. Our lab has developed a monoclonal antibody, named Met4 that was raised against the extracellular domain of Met specifically with the goal of measuring Met in FFPE tissues. The Met receptor kinase is expressed on the cell surface of a significant number and variety of human primary solid tumors and in their metastases. The characterization of the Met4 antibody suggests it should possess adequate performance for quantification of Met expression in clinical specimens. We have also generated a fully human Fab fragment against EGFR; conjugated it to taxol as an immuno-chemotherapy agent; and investigated its in vitro antitumor efficacy on EGFR positive A431 epidermoid carcinoma cells.展开更多
