Abstract
An anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody that is specific against the N-glycolyl residues of gangliosides, particularly those expressed by cancer cells. The monoclonal antibody is useful as an immunomodulator for cancer treatment. Specifically, the anti-idiotype monoclonal antibody of the present invention is capable of inducing a predominant anti-idiotypic response in xenogeneic models. The anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody also exerts a protective effect against malignant tumors in animals.
