It is an object of the present invention to provide an anti-ITGA6/B4 human antibody, which specifically recognizes ITGA6B4 complex expressed on a cell membrane and inhibits the adhesion of the ITGA6B4 complex to laminin, so as to inhibit adhesion of cancer cells to a bone marrow niche, and which is also capable of remarkably enhancing the effects of an anticancer agent on an anticancer agent resistant strain. The present invention provides an antibody against integrin A6B4, wherein the antibody specifically recognizes a human integrin A6B4 complex and inhibits intercellular adhesion.

Antibody which specifically reacts with human integrin A6B4

The present inventors successfully introduced genes into stem cells of airway epithelial tissues using simian immunodeficiency virus vectors pseudotyped with F and HN, which are envelope glycoproteins of Sendai virus. Gene transfer into airway epithelial tissue stem cells using a vector of the present invention is useful for gene therapy of genetic respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis. Furthermore, it is possible to select respiratory organs such as the lungs as production tissues for providing proteins that are deficient due to genetic diseases.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a drug conjugate comprising an anti-CDH3 antibody that efficiently kills cancer cells expressing CDH3. According to the present invention, there is provided an immune complex formed by binding an antibody against CDH3 or a fragment thereof having CDH3 binding ability to a chemotherapeutic agent.

Drug conjugate comprising anti-CDH3 (P-cadherin) antibody

The present invention provides an anti-CDH3 humanized antibody having lower immunogenicity, and an anti-CDH3 humanized antibody drug conjugate having the aforementioned anti-CDH3 humanized antibody. The present invention provides a conjugate of an anti-CDH3 humanized antibody and a drug by conjugating a drug having cytotoxicity to an anti-CDH3 humanized antibody having complementarity determining region sequences derived from the heavy chain variable region of an antibody produced by cells having Accession No. NITE BP-1536, and complementarity determining region sequences derived from the light chain variable region thereof, and which also comprises a heavy chain human subgroup III consensus framework sequence or a human germline sequence selected under optimal alignment as a framework region sequence of the heavy chain variable region, and a light chain human &#x3ba; subgroup I consensus framework sequence or a human germline sequence selected under optimal alignment as a framework region sequence of the light chain variable region.

Anti-CDH3 humanized antibody, drug conjugate thereof, and use thereof

An object of present invention is to provide a complete human anti-human TfR antibody, which specifically recognizes human TfR, inhibits the survival or growth of cancer cells that highly express TfR, and has no immunogenicity to humans. The present invention provides an antibody which specifically reacts with human TfR, wherein the antibody comprises any one of the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NOS: 1-3, 7-9, 13-15, 19-21, 25-27, 31-33, 37-39, 43-45, 49-51, 55-57, 61-63, 67-69, 73-75, 79-81, 85-87, 91-93, 97-99, 103-105, 109-111, and 115-117, as each of a heavy chain first complementarity determining region (VH CDR1), a heavy chain second complementarity determining region (VH CDR2), and a heavy chain third complementarity determining region (VH CDR3).

Antibody capable of specifically recognizing transferrin receptor

The present invention provides an antibody, in which the heavy chain first complementarity determining region (VH CDR1), the heavy chain second complementarity determining region (VH CDR2), and the heavy chain third complementarity determining region (VH CDR3) are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, and 7, respectively, and the light chain first complementarity determining region (VL CDR1), the light chain second complementarity determining region (VL CDR2), and the light chain third complementarity determining region (VL CDR3) are shown in SEQ ID NOs: 4, 5, and 6, respectively.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an anti-cadherin antibody having a high internalization capacity and provide an anti-cadherin antibody-drug conjugate that effectively kills cadherin-expressing cancer cells with the use of such antibody. The present invention provides an anti-cadherin antibody which recognizes a cadherin domain 1 (EC1) of cadherin and exhibits a high internalization capacity.

Anti-CDH3 antibody having high internalization capacity

It is an object to provide a recombinant antibody that is an anti-CDH3 antibody having cytotoxicity on CDH3-expressing cells, which is anticipated to have fewer side effects than antibodies derived from animals other than humans and to maintain its therapeutic effects for a long period of time. The present invention provides a recombinant antibody which specifically reacts with an epitope existing in the amino acids at positions 108 to 131 or at positions 551 to 654 of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 38 that is the extracellular region of human CDH3, and has cytotoxicity against CDH3-expressing cells.

Anti-human P-cadherin (CDH3) recombinant antibody

An object of the present invention is to provide a radioactive metal anti-cadherin antibody which is highly accumulated specifically in cancer tissue. Another object is to provide a cancer therapeutic agent having high anti-cancer effect and safety and a cancer diagnostic agent. The radioactive metal-labeled anti-cadherin antibody is obtained by binding a radioactive metallic element to an anti-cadherin antibody via a metal-chelating reagent.
