Netrin-1 detection, companion test and therapy based on radiations
Abstract:
The present invention is based on the finding that Netrin-(1) is retained in a stickier manner in the cell matrix at the cell periphery of the cancer cells, whereas Netrin-(1) is expressed in adults specifically in some tumors. It is also shown herein that Netrin-(1) is expressed very early during tumor formation. This makes Netrin-(1) an unexpected very specific target for imagery and/or targeted therapy. The present invention thus relates to compounds comprising an anti-Netrin-1 antibody, especially NP(137), a chelating moiety, optionally associated with a radioisotope, and their use either in imagery, diagnosis, especially companion diagnosis, or in targeted therapy. New diagnostic tests, which may be companion tests, and new cancer therapies, that may be combined to the companion test, are also proposed.
