GLYCOPROTEIN ANTIGEN SIMA135 EXPRESSED IN METASTATIC HUMAN TUMOR CELLS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods to diagnose cancer and to decrease metastasis by cancer cells in a mammal, such as a human, especially to provide the use of a tumor marker protein to create antibodies that can be used to detect increased production of the protein in a cell, and use of the antibodies to decrease metastasis by cancer cells that produce the tumor marker protein.SOLUTION: A monoclonal antibody specifically binds with a soluble form of glycosylated protein comprising a specific amino acid sequence and is used for treating metastatic tumors.
