The purpose of the present invention is to provide a novel
monoclonal antibody having high affinity and that strictly recognizes, as a
sugar chain
epitope, only a “Siaα2,6Galβ1,4GlcNAc (6′-Sialyl-LacNAc): CDw75”
sugar chain structure, being a molecular target for diagnosis of the
malignancy of tumors. An anti-CDw75
monoclonal antibody is provided that recognizes “CDw75”
sugar chain structures but does not recognize similar sugar chain structures indicated by “Galβ1,4GlcNAc”, “Siaα2,3Galβ1,4GlcNAc”, or “Siaα2,6Galβ1,4Glc”, by using a
glycolipid antigen bonding a carrier lipid compound “HOCH2CH (NH—CO—(CH2)22—CH3)—(CH2)9—CH3 (C12L)” developed by the inventors to a “CDw75” sugar chain. The obtained anti-CDw75
monoclonal antibody is an excellent detection
drug for B-
cell lymphoma, gastric
cancer, or
colorectal cancer, an excellent
diagnostic agent for tumor
malignancy, etc., an excellent treatment agent for B-
cell lymphoma, gastric
cancer, or
colorectal cancer, and an excellent prevention / treatment
drug for influenza.
