    摘要: The present invention relates to differentiation and tumorigenicity. The present invention more particularly relates to ligands which target CEA and CEACAM6 such that the adhesion, differentiation-Inhibitory activities and tumorigenic effects of Ig superfamily members, CEA and CEACAM6, can be reduced or blocked. More particularly, the present invention relates to CEA-binding agents which reverse CEA-mediated tumorigenic effects by declustering CEA and CEACAM6. In one embodiment the invention relates to methods of reducing, preventing or reversing a CEA-mediated tumorigenic effect comprising a use of a CEA-mediated tumorigenic effect reducing CEA-declustering agent. In one embodiment, the invention relates to compositions and use thereof for reversing CEA-mediated tumorigenic effects on human cancer cells and uses thereof. In particular, the application relates to a monovalent CEA binding agent which interfereswith a CEA interaction responsible for a CEA-mediated tumorigenic effects, thereby minimizing or reversing same.
