Effects of neocarzinostatin-chimeric Fab conjugates on the growth of human pancreatic carcinoma xenografts.

Neocarzinostatin (NCS) was bound covalently to human/mouse chimeric Fab fragments of MAb A7 (chA7Fab) directed against human pancreatic carcinoma. The anti-tumour effect of chA7Fab-NCS was tested in a nude mouse model on pancreatic carcinoma and compared with A7-NCS or NCS alone. The anti-tumour eff...

Descripción
Sumario:Neocarzinostatin (NCS) was bound covalently to human/mouse chimeric Fab fragments of MAb A7 (chA7Fab) directed against human pancreatic carcinoma. The anti-tumour effect of chA7Fab-NCS was tested in a nude mouse model on pancreatic carcinoma and compared with A7-NCS or NCS alone. The anti-tumour effect of chA7Fab-NCS increased in a dose-dependent manner and was significantly greater than either A7-NCS or NCS. Tumour growth was completely suppressed after the administration of chA7Fab-NCS. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin was performed to examine the antigenicity of chA7Fab. ChA7Fab had less reactivity with rabbit anti-mouse immunoglobulin than either whole antibody A7 or murine Fab fragments of A7. Thus, chA7Fab-NCS can inhibit human pancreatic cancer growth in an animal and may be useful for targeting chemotherapy to pancreatic cancer in humans.
