Compositions against cancer antigen LIV-1 and uses thereof
View Patent ↗Described herein are methods and compositions that can be used for diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
1. A monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2, wherein the antibody comprises the complementary determining regions (CDRs) of the heavy chain variable domain amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:3, and the CDRs of the light chain variable domain amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:4; or a chimeric or humanized form thereof.
2. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a humanized form of the antibody.
3. The antibody of claim 1 , which comprises a heavy chain variable region having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:3 and a light chain variable region having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4.
4. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is an antigen-binding fragment.
5. The antibody of claim 1 , wherein the antibody is conjugated to an effector component.
6. The antibody of claim 5 , wherein the effector component is selected from the group consisting of a fluorescent label, a radioisotope or a cytotoxic chemical.
7. The antibody of claim 6 , wherein the cytotoxic chemical is auristatin-E or monomethyl auristatin E.
8. A pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and the antibody of claim 1 .
9. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 , wherein the antibody is an antigen-binding fragment.
10. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 8 , wherein the antibody is conjugated to an effector component comprising a radioisotope or a cytotoxic chemical.
11. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 10 , wherein the cytotoxic chemical is auristatin-E or monomethyl auristatin E.
12. A method of treating an individual with prostate or breast cancer, wherein the method comprises administering a therapeutically effective dose of the antibody of claim 1 .
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the antibody is a chimeric antibody.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the antibody is a humanized antibody.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the antibody is an antigen-binding fragment.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the antibody is conjugated to an effector component comprising a radioisotope or a cytotoxic chemical.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the cytotoxic chemical is auristatin-E or monomethyl auristatin E.
