Abstract excerpt
Cetuximab (Erbitux, IMC-C225) is a monoclonal antibody targeted to the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). To clarify the mode of antitumor action of cetuximab, we examined antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity against several tumor cell lines expressing wild-type or mutant EGFR. ADCC activity and complement-dependent cytolysis activity were analyzed using the CytoTox 96 assay. ADCC...
