Also provided is an antibody, which recognizes the disintegrin domain of ADAM-15 and is usable as an anticancer agent, and so on. An antibody, which recognizes the disintegrin domain of ADAM-15 but does not recognize the RGD sequence or loop region in the disintegrin domain of ADAM-15, and so on; an antibody, which inhibits ADAM-15 and integrin αv&bgr;3-dependent cell adhesion, and so on; and an antibody, which inhibits ADAM-15 and integrin αv&bgr;1-dependent cell adhesion, and so on.
