An anti-αv-integrin antibody that blocks integrin function inhibits the development of a human melanoma in nude mice

Abstract excerpt

A series of murine monoclonal antibodies were raised against purified human alpha v beta 3 integrin and against M21 human melanoma cells. Five notable hybridomas were identified by ELISA on purified integrins, and the isolated antibodies bound the alpha v-chain. These antibodies, 17E6, 20A9, 23G5, 14D9.F8 and 10G2, recognised the extracellular domains of the integrin, and were shown to be reactive in FACS,...
