Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The present invention relates to the diagnosis and treatment of cancerous disease, in particular, to mediating tumor cell cytotoxicity; and, more particularly, to antibodies (CDMAB) that ameliorate cancerous disease, optionally in combination with one or more CDMAB / chemotherapy agents Application as a tool for initiating a cytotoxic response. The invention also relates to binding assays utilizing the CDMABs of the invention. Background of the invention
[0002] TROP-2 is a cell surface glycoprotein expressed on most cancers, as well as some normal human tissues. It was originally defined as the molecule recognized by two murine monoclonal antibodies raised against the human choriocarcinoma cell line BeWo, which recognizes an antigen on human trophoblast cells (Faulk 1978). Other investigators independently discovered the same molecule, leading to multiple names describing the same antigen. Therefore, TROP-2 is also known as GA733-1 and epithelial...
