ABSTRACT The c-erbB-2 product is thought to be a unique and useful target for antibody therapy of cancers overexpressing the c-erbB-2 gene. In vitro and in vivo anti-tumour effects of a
humanised antibody against the extracellular domain of the c-erbB-2 gene product, rhu4D5, were examined. Rhu4D5 was less effective than its murine counterpart, mu4D5, for the direct
antiproliferative activity against the c-erbB-2-overexpressing SK-BR-3 cell line. In vivo treatment of severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice carrying the c-erbB-2-overexpressing 4-1ST
human gastric carcinoma xenograft with 4hu4D5 revealed that the recombinant protein had potent anti-tumour activity. Furthermore, cytotoxicity of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells
against 4-1ST was significantly augmented with rhu4D5, but not with mu4D5. These results indicate that rhu4D5 might perform better in patients than predicted from preclinical studies. Access
