High affinity humanized anti-TAG-72 monoclonalantibodies

摘要

Novel humanized monoclonal antibodies, humanized antibody fragments, and derivatives thereof which specifically bind TAG-72 are provided as well as methods for their manufacture. These humanized antibodies are useful in the treatment of cancers which express TAG-72 as well as for diagnostic purposes, e.g., for in vivo imaging of tumors or cancer cells which express TAG-72.
