Abstract:
The present invention relates to a novel immunity-inducing agent for treatment and/or prevention of cancer. Specifically, the present invention relates to an immunity-inducing agent comprising, as an active ingredient, at least one polypeptide having immunity-inducing activity and selected from polypeptides derived from MRAP2 and modified forms thereof, or a recombinant vector comprising a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide and capable of expressing the polypeptide in vivo, and a method for inducing immunity, comprising administering the immunity-inducing agent to a subject.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to identify a cancer antigen protein specifically expressed on the surface of cancer cells and provide use of an antibody targeting the cancer antigen protein as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent for cancer. A pharmaceutical composition for treating and/or preventing cancer comprising an antibody or a fragment thereof having immunological reactivity with CSPG5 protein consisting of any one of amino acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 8, 4, 6, 10, and 12 and an amino acid sequence having an amino acid identity of 80% or more to the amino acid sequence, or a fragment thereof consisting of 7 or more consecutive amino acids, as an active ingredient.
Abstract:
An immunity-inducing agent comprising as an effective ingredient a specific polypeptide is disclosed. These polypeptides were isolated, by the SEREX method using a cDNA library derived from canine testis and serum from a cancer-bearing dog, as a polypeptide which binds to an antibody existing specifically in serum derived from a cancer-bearing living body. The polypeptides can induce immunity in a living body and cause regression of a tumor in a cancer-bearing living body. Therefore, these polypeptides are especially effective as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent for a cancer(s).
Abstract:
It is intended to provide a CAPRIN-1-targeting antibody superior in antitumor activity to conventional antibodies, and use thereof as a therapeutic and/or preventive agent for a cancer. The present invention provides an antibody targeting a CAPRIN-1 polypeptide specifically expressed on the surface of cancer cells, and use of the antibody as a therapeutic and/or preventive agent for a cancer. The present invention provides an antibody which comprises a heavy chain variable region comprising complementarity-determining regions of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, and 3 and a light chain variable region comprising complementarity-determining regions of SEQ ID NOs: 4, 5, and 6 and has immunological reactivity with a CAPRIN-1 protein, or a fragment thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment and/or prevention of a cancer, comprising this antibody or fragment as an active ingredient.
