Method for imaging breast tumors using labeled monoclonal anti-human breast cancer antibodies

摘要

Hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies suitable for imaging and diagnosis of human breast tumors and such monoclonal antibodies are claimed. The monoclonals are characterized by breast tumor binding range, breast cancer cell line range, and selectivity. Immunoimaging agents comprising the monoclonal antibody and a detectable label, either directly or indirectly conjugated to the antibody are claimed. Methods for imaging breast tumors using the immunoimaging agents are described and claimed.
