Abstract:
The present invention relates to a viral complex comprising a viral vector capable of delivering shRNA that suppresses an expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) to a cell and an anti-epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) antibody conjugated to the viral vector, a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating cancer, comprising the viral complex, and a method for treating cancer, comprising administering the viral complex or the pharmaceutical composition to a subject in which a cancer disease has occurred and overexpressing EpCAM. The anti-EpCAM antibody-AAV2/shEGFR complex provided in the present invention significantly reduces the expression level of EGFR in tumor cells overexpressing EpCAM without inducing an immune response in vivo, thereby inducing death of tumor cells, and thus, it can be widely utilized in more effective and safe cancer treatment.
