1. Interaction studies of idiotypic and antiidiotypic antibodies at experimental tumor targeting
Sammanfattning : An increasing number of antibodies are being labeled with radionuclides for immunotargeting, but the negative side effects generated on normal tissues by the nuclide remains a significant problem. The clearing of non-tumor-targeted radiolabeled antibodies from the circulation contributes significantly to improved targeting; it has been demonstrated that anti-idiotypic antibodies can be used for this purpose.

2. Single-chain antibody construction and functional mapping of the monoclonal antibody TS1 : Its interaction with the antigen and the anti-idiotype
Sammanfattning : The aims of this study are to synthesize and produce a single-chain antibody (scFv) of the anti-cytokeratin 8 monoclonal IgG antibody TS1 and to functionally map amino acid residues important for the interaction with its antigen and the anti-idiotypic antibody TS1. The TS1 antibody has been shown to be effective in binding cytokeratin 8 (CK8) expressed in tumors in vivo and is proposed to be useful in immunotargeting and/or immunotherapy. LÄS MER
3. Functional mapping and in vivo metabolism of the monoclonal antibody TS1 and its single-chain fragment : Its interaction with the antigen and the anti-idiotype
Sammanfattning : Antibodies are proteins capable of specific interactions to a wide range of molecules. These interactions are facilitated by the complementary determining regions (CDR).Carcinomas are the most common of human cancers and they release significant amount of cytokeratins (CK) in the necrotic areas of the tumors.

4. Natural and induced immunity against the tumour-associated antigen, Ep-CAM
Sammanfattning : The tumour-associated antigen (TAA), Ep-CAM is overexpressed on various human carcinomas, including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). TAAs or their immunodominant epitopes that are spontaneously recognised by the immune system might constitute a suitable target for immunotherapy. LÄS MER
5. Immunotherapy with the anti-EpCAM monoclonal antibody and cytokines in patients with colorectal cancer : a clinical and experimental study
Sammanfattning : The tumor-associated antigen EpCAM (epithelial cell-adhesion molecule) (C017-1A) is over expressed by various human carcinomas, including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). This antigen can be used as a target structure for specific immunotherapy with vaccines and monoclonal antibodies (MAb). LÄS MER
