Peptide Vaccines of the HER-2/neu Dimerization Loop Are Effective in Inhibiting Mammary Tumor Growth In Vivo
1 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2)/neu (ErbB2), a member of the epidermal growth factor family of receptors, is overexpressed in 20-30% of breast cancers. It is an attractive target for receptor-directed antitumor therapy using mAbs. Unlike other epidermal growth factor receptor family members, HER-2/neu does not bind a high-affinity ligand, but rather functions as the preferred dimerization...
