摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide novel pharmaceutical compositions using anti-GRP78 antibodies. More particularly, the present invention provides a novel method of cancer treatment using anti-GRP78 antibodies, novel cell growth inhibitors and anticancer agents that contain anti-GRP78 antibodies, as well as novel anti-GRP78 antibodies. The present inventor prepared antitumor antibodies to target GRP78, the localization of which in cancer cells changed to the cell membrane. The inventor successfully obtained an anti-GRP78 antibody that would bind specifically to the cell surface of cancer cells, leading to the accomplishment of the above-mentioned objects.

The present invention provides a method by which lung squamous cell carcinoma can be detected in a simple and prompt manner with high detection performance; and the like. The method according to the present invention detects lung squamous cell carcinoma by an assessment including the steps of: (1) performing measurement of the desmoglein 3 content in a blood sample collected from a subject; and (2) comparing the desmoglein 3 content determined by the measurement with the desmoglein 3 content in a blood sample collected from a healthy individual so as to estimate the presence of lung squamous cell carcinoma in the subject when the desmoglein 3 content is higher in the blood sample collected from the subject.

An objective of the present invention is to provide antibodies that bind to Prominin-1 and have ADCC activity and/or CDC activity, and pharmaceutical compositions containing those antibodies as an active ingredient.To achieve a solution to the above-mentioned objective, the present inventors produced recombinant antibodies by cloning a nucleotide sequence of the AC133 antibody variable region, discovered that the ADCC/CDC-inducing effect which does not exist in the original AC133 antibody is imparted to the recombinant antibodies, and thereby completed the present invention. In the human chimeric antibody/human effector cell combination, the chimeric antibody whose constant region sequence had been converted to human IgG1/κ was found to induce strong ADCC. Furthermore, the present inventors produced humanized antibodies prepared by grafting the AC133 antibody CDRs to a human antibody sequence, and further produced humanized antibodies having binding activities equivalent to the activity of the chimeric antibody by introducing amino acid substitutions into the humanized L chain sequence. The present invention provides unlabeled AC133 human chimeric antibodies and humanized antibodies having antitumor effects.

An objective of the present invention is to provide chimeric receptors containing a mouse Fcγ receptor extracellular domain and a human Fcγ receptor transmembrane domain, or chimeric receptors containing a mouse Fcγ receptor extracellular domain and a human γ chain transmembrane domain. Another objective of the present invention is to provide methods for measuring the ADCC activity of mouse antibodies and methods of screening for mouse antibodies having ADCC activity, using the chimeric receptors.To accomplish the above-mentioned objectives, the present inventors produced chimeric molecules by fusing the extracellular domain of mouse FcγR3 or mouse FcγR4 with the transmembrane domain/intracellular domain of human γ chain or human FcγR3, and expressed the chimeric molecules in human NK92 cells. It was revealed that the ADCC activity can be induced by the chimeric receptors produced by any combination of the domains, and that the ADCC activity of mouse antibodies can be measured using the chimeric receptors of the present invention.

[Problem to be Solved]An object of the present invention is to provide novel means for the treatment and diagnosis of cancer.[Solution]The present inventors have obtained a monoclonal antibody against TMPRSS11E and found that this antibody binds to a native form of TMPRSS11E, and TMPRSS11E is highly expressed on the cell membranes of cancer cell lines in flow cytometry. This antibody exhibits antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity activity (ADCC activity) and antitumor effect based on internalization activity and is promising as a therapeutic target. Moreover, this antibody has neutralization activity against protease activity and is also expected to have effect brought about by the inhibition of TMPRSS11E functions.

With dedicated research, the present inventors discovered that not only the LGR7 gene but also the LGR7 protein are highly expressed in clear cell adenocarcinoma cells of ovarian cancer. Furthermore, the present inventors found that anti-LGR7 antibodies have antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) activity against LGR7-expressing cells. From the above findings, the present inventors discovered that the anti-LGR7 antibodies are useful for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of primary and metastatic ovarian clear cell adenocarcinoma.
