Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medicine. More specifically, the present invention relates to specific monoclonal antibodies against epidermal growth factor receptor mutant III (EGFRvIII) and applications thereof. The antibody of the present invention can effectively bind to EGFRvIII or partially bind to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpressed by cells, and the antibody has no binding effect on EGFR normally expressed by cells. The antibodies of the invention can be used to treat tumor cell lines expressing EGFRvIII. Background technique
[0002] Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the 170 kilodalton membrane glycoprotein product of the proto-oncogene c-erb B (1) . The EGFR gene is the cellular homologue of the erb B oncogene originally identified in avian erythrocytosis virus (1,2) . Activation of this oncogene by gene amplification has been observed in various human tumors (3-6) .
[0003] It has been shown i...
