Human antibody derivatives against the fibroblast activation protein for tumor stroma targeting of carcinomas

Abstract excerpt

The fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is selectively expressed on activated fibroblasts of the tumor stroma on more than 90% of lung, breast and colon carcinomas. The high prevalence and abundance of FAP(+) stroma make it a promising target for in vivo diagnosis and therapy of a variety of carcinomas. We describe the humanization of the murine FAP-specific MAb, F19, which has already been clinically used for in...
