CD45neg but Not CD45pos Human Myeloma Cells Are Sensitive to the Inhibition of IGF-1 Signaling by a Murine Anti-IGF-1R Monoclonal Antibody, mAVE1642
1 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a well-known growth factor for myeloma cells. Thus, therapeutic strategies targeting IGF-1R have been proposed for multiple myeloma treatment. In this study, we investigated the effect of the antagonistic anti-IGF-1R murineAVE1642 Ab (mAVE1642). We show that mAVE1642 selectively inhibits IGF-1R but not insulin signaling in human myeloma cell lines. Since we have previously...
