UniProt | |
Immunogen | The anti-idiotypic antibody 1A7 was raised by immunizing BALB/c mice with a mouse anti- GD2 antibody 14G2a. |
Application Notes | Various cancers, such as melanoma, neuroblastoma, glioma, soft tissue sarcoma, and small cell carcinoma, involve overexpression of ganglioside GD2. Traditional therapeutic approaches comprised attempts to administer anti-GD2 antibodies to deplete the cancer cells. However, such interventions often lead to the development of the immune response against those therapeutic antibodies or the cytotoxic activation against the tumor cells caused by the therapeutic was insufficient. The solution to this problem might be the generation of an anti-idiotypic antibody (Ab2) against a primary antibody that can bind GD2 (Ab1). Such an anti-idiotypic antibody (Ab2) works as an internal image of the antigen (GD2) and, upon administration to a subject with a Gd2-positive tumor, can lead to the generation of anti-anti- idiotypic antibodies (Ab3), which will be directed against GD2 and will lead to the depletion of the tumor. |
