Zusammenfassung: | Novel compositions and methods are described for stimulating a patient's immune system to tumor cells which bear a gp72 tumor-associated antigen and thereby eliciting a tumoricidal effect. Anti-idiotypic human monoclonal antibodies and idiotopic regions thereof to primary antibodies which bind selectively to an antigenic determinant of gp72 are provided to mediate the humoral and cellular components of the patient's immune system. The immunogenic agents find use both in vivo and in vitro.
L'invention concerne de nouvelles compositions et méthodes de stimulation du système immunitaire d'un patient contre des cellules tumorales qui portent un antigène gp72 associé à la tumeur et révèlent un effet tumeuricide. Des anticorps monclonaux anti-idiotypiques humains et leurs régions idyotopiques sur des anticorps primaires qui se lient sélectivement à un déterminant antigénique de gp72 servent de médiateurs aux composants humoraux et cellulaires du système immunitaire du patient. Les agents immunogéniques s'utilisent tant in vivo qu'in vitro. |
