Chimeric Use Statement:This chimeric human antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
Specificity Statement:The antibody is specific for CD44v6. CD44v6 is a tumor associated antigen abundantly expressed in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) and in normal squamous epithelium.
Application Notes:The antibody is the mutated version of BIWA-4 that was constructed with the aim of improving binding affinity. The binding affinity of the antibody to CD44v6 was measured by surface plasmon resonance. The antibody showed a specificity of tumor localization when administrated together with another anti-CD44v6 antibody to mice in in vivo experiments (Verel et al. 2002; PMID: 11992408). The specificity of the humanized version of the antibody was confirmed by ELISA anlaysis (Kd= 0.84 nM). The antibody had good therapeutic efficacy in in vivo experiments in mice. Mice treated with labelled 186Re-BIWA 8 showed a decreased in the tumor volume (US6972324B2).
