The present invention relates to a human monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to VCAM-1, and a therapeutic composition for the treatment of inflammatory disease or cancer comprising the same. The human monoclonal antibody according to the present invention shows a strong affinity to VCAM-1 expressed on human or mouse endothelial cell, effectively inhibits leukocyte adhesion to activated endothelial cells expressing VCAM-1, and shows a low immunogenicity, thereby being used for the treatment of cancer or inflammatory disease such as asthma, rhinitis, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, bowel disease, arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction and transplant rejection.

The present invention relates to a human recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to human Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1) to inhibit adhesion between leukocytes and activated endothelial cells and transmigration of leukocytes through the activated endothelial cells, and a prophylactic and therapeutic composition for inflammatory disease or cancer comprising the same. The human recombinant monoclonal antibody according to the present invention shows a strong affinity to VCAM-1 expressed on human endothelial cell, and effectively inhibits VCAM-1-mediated adhesion between leukocytes and activated endothelial cells and transmigration of leukocytes through the activated endothelial cells, thereby being used for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory disease such as asthma and arthritis, transplant rejection, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
