1. An anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-hEGFR) antibody, or antigen binding portion thereof, that
a) binds to an epitope within the amino acid sequence CGADSYEMEEDGVRKC (SEQ ID NO: 45) or competes with a second anti-hEGFR antibody for binding to epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) (SEQ ID NO: 33) in a competitive binding assay, wherein the second anti-EGFR antibody comprises a heavy chain variable domain comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1 and a light chain variable domain comprising the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 5; b) binds to EGFR(1-525) (SEQ ID NO: 47) with a dissociation constant (Kd) of about 1×10−6 M or less, as determined by surface plasmon resonance; and c) inhibits tumor growth in an in vivo human non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) xenograft assay with a tumor growth inhibition % (TGI %) of at least about 50% relative to a human IgG antibody which is not specific for EGFR, wherein the human IgG antibody is administered in the NSCLC xenograft assay at the same dose and frequency as the anti-hEGFR antibody, or antigen binding portion thereof. |
