Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to antibodies, particularly antibody 175, and fragments thereof or antibodies derived therefrom, which bind to the EGF receptor, particularly to amplified or overexpressed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and to the de2-7 EGFR truncation of the EGFR. These antibodies are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Recombinant or hybrid antibodies having the variable region heavy or light chain sequence(s) of antibody 175 are also provided. The antibodies of the present invention may also be used in therapy in combination with chemotherapeutics or anti-cancer agents and/or with other antibodies or fragments thereof.
