CAMELID ANTIBODIES FOR USE IN COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF CANCER

摘要

A method for producing immunoglobulin that specifically binds to cancer cells, said method comprising immunising a camelid with tumour associated antigen purified from cancer cells by acid elution and purifying tumour associated antigen-specific immunoglobulin from a body fluid of said camelid. Also provided are cancer cell-specific camelid immunoglobulins produced by the method of the invention and methods for treating or preventing cancer which comprise administration of said cancer cell-specific immunoglobulins, or immunotoxins derived therefrom.
