Triple tandem mimotope peptide of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor displaying on the surface of M13 phage induces anti-tumor response in mice tumor model
Introduction: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been shown to play a critical role in tumor cell growth and its overexpression has been observed in many epithelial tumors. In the field of cancer vaccine research, displaying the peptide mimotope on the surface of phage particles has shown promising results. Methods: In this study using m13-PVIII phage display system, two constructs we...
متن کاملCharacterization of murine monoclonal antibodies reactive to either the human epidermal growth factor receptor or HER2/neu gene product.
High levels of expression of either the epidermal growth factor receptor or the receptor-like HER2/neu gene product p185HER2 have been observed in a variety of human malignancies. Because of the association of this high level expression with certain human tumors, we have generated a panel of monoclonal antibodies specific for either the epidermal growth factor receptor or p185HER2 to study thei...
متن کاملSynergy between cetuximab and chemotherapy in tumors of the gastrointestinal tract.
Cetuximab is a recently approved monoclonal antibody that targets the epidermal growth factor receptor, a receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the development and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) and other solid tumors. Cetuximab, as a single agent or in combination with chemotherapy, has demonstrated significant clinical efficacy against CRC. Combinations of cetuximab with chemotherapy h...
متن کاملPanitumumab a novel drug in cancer treatment.
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a member of the erbB family overexpressed in most of the solid tumors. In cancer cells, the overexpression of EGFR correlates with the development and the progression of tumor. Panitumumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that blocks the extracellular domain of the EGFR and has not been associated with the formation of any antibodies directed a...
متن کاملComplement-dependent tumor cell lysis triggered by combinations of epidermal growth factor receptor antibodies.
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies against the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) have advanced the treatment of colon and head and neck cancer, and show great promise for the development of treatments for other solid cancers. Antibodies against EGFR have been shown to act via inhibition of receptor signaling and induction of antibody-dependent cellular cytoxicity. However, complement-depen...
