摘要:
The present invention provides an antibody which specifically recognizes three-dimensional structure of an extracellular region of a polypeptide encoded by PERP (p53 apoptosis effector related to PMP-22) gene and binds to the extracellular region. The antibody of the present invention is useful for treatment of various diseases which highly expresses a polypeptide encoded by the PERP gene. Also, a polypeptide encoded by the PERP gene or a cell expressing the polypeptide can be specifically detected by an immunological method using the antibody, so that the antibody is useful for diagnosis of various diseases related to PERP.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing leukemia, pre-leukemia or aleukemic malignant blood diseases, a method of discriminating leukemia from pre-leukemia or aleukemic malignant blood diseases, a method of discriminating aplastic anemia from myelodysplastic syndrome, a method of diagnosing delayed engraftment of the hematopoietic stem cells after transplantation of the hematopoietic stem cells, and a method of diagnosing the graft versus host disease, each of said methods comprising quantifying stem cell growth factor (SCGF). The present invention also makes it possible to provide an agent for diagnosing leukemia, pre-leukemia or aleukemic malignant blood diseases and an agent for diagnosing delayed engraftment of the hematopoietic stem cells after transplantation of the hematopoietic stem cells or an agent for diagnosing graft versus host disease (GVHD), each containing as an active ingredient an antibody reacting with stem cell growth factor (SCGF).

摘要:
The present invention relates to a recombinant antibody composition having higher complement-dependent cytotoxic activity than a human IgG1 antibody and a human IgG3 antibody, wherein a polypeptide comprising a CH2 domain in the Fc region of a human IgG1 antibody is replaced by a polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence which corresponds to the same position of a human IgG3 antibody indicated by the EU index as in Kabat, et al.; a DNA encoding the antibody molecule or a heavy chain constant region of the antibody molecule contained in the recombinant antibody composition; a transformant obtainable by introducing the recombinant vector into a host cell; a process for producing the recombinant antibody composition using the transformant; and a medicament comprising the recombinant antibody composition as an active ingredient.
摘要:
An anti-ganglioside GM2 antibody composition having enhanced effector function which is useful as a medicament has been desired. The present invention provides an antibody composition comprising an antibody molecule which specifically binds to ganglioside GM2 and has complex type N-glycoside-linked sugar chains in the Fc region, wherein the complex type N-glycoside-linked sugar chains have a structure in which fucose is not bound to N-acetylglucosamine in the reducing end in the sugar chains; a transformant which produces the antibody composition; a process for producing the antibody composition; and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody composition.
