Pharmaceutical composition for treatment and prevention of cancers
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treatment and/or prevention of cancer, which comprises, as an active ingredient, an antibody or fragment thereof having an immunological reactivity with a CAPRIN-1 protein or a fragment thereof comprising 7 or more consecutive amino acids.
1. A method for treatment of a CAPRIN-1 expressing cancer in a subject, comprising administering to the subject an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof having an immunological reactivity with a CAPRIN-1 protein which has the amino acid sequence shown in any one of the even numbered SEQ ID NOS: 2 to 30, wherein the antibody or fragment specifically binds the CAPRIN-1 protein expressed on the cell surface of the cancer.
2. A method for treatment of a CAPRIN-1 expressing cancer in a subject, comprising administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof having an immunological reactivity with a CAPRIN-1 protein which has the amino acid sequence shown in any one of the even numbered SEQ ID NOS: 2 to 30, wherein the antibody or fragment thereof specifically binds the CAPRIN-1 protein expressed on the cell surface of the cancer.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cancer is damaged by an antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity of the antibody.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody or polyclonal antibody.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the antibody is a human antibody, a humanized antibody, a chimeric antibody, a single-chain antibody, or a bispecific antibody.
6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the cancer is damaged by an antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity of the antibody.
7. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody or polyclonal antibody.
8. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the antibody is a human antibody, a humanized antibody, a chimeric antibody, a single-chain antibody, or a bispecific antibody.
