Species-Crossreactive scFv Against the Tumor Stroma Marker “Fibroblast Activation Protein” Selected by Phage Display From an Immunized FAP−/− Knock-Out Mouse
1 Jul 2001
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a type II membrane protein expressed on tumor stroma fibroblasts in more than 90% of all carcinomas. FAP serves as a diagnostic marker and is potential therapeutic target for treatment of a wide variety of FAP+ carcinomas. Murine tumor stroma models and FAP-specific antibodies are required to investigate the functional role of FAP in tumor biology and its...
