Abstract
The present inventors extensively studied and found that an antibody binding to PepT has cytotoxic activity and inhibits cell growth. These results suggest that an antibody binding to PepT, particularly an antibody having a cytotoxic activity, can be used as a cell growth inhibitor, for example, in treating and preventing cancer.
