摘要 |
The present invention relates to a monoclonal antibody directed against the CD20 antigen, wherein the variable region of each of the light chains thereof is encoded by a sequence which shares at least 70% identity with murine nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID No. 5, the variable region of each of the heavy chains thereof is encoded by a sequence which shares at least 70% identity with murine nucleic acid sequence SEQ ID No. 7, and the constant regions of light and heavy chains thereof are constant regions from a non-murine species, as well as for activation of FcγRIIIA receptors in immune effector cells, and for the manufacture of a drug especially for the treatment of leukaemia or lymphoma. |
