antibody binding domain, antibody, use of a binding domain or antibody, method for detecting the presence of cancer cells in a sample.

摘要

The present invention provides humanised antibodies and binding domains thereof with anti-tumour activity. In particular the humanised antibodies have specific binding to and direct killing of human colon tumour cells and display potent immune-mediated cytotoxic activity against human colon cancer cells in vitro using antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) assays and in vivo using mouse tumour models.
