Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-Lewis Y [69/229]
  • Clone: 69/229
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: FACS ; IHC
  • Description: MAbs targeting both Lewis(y) and Lewis(b) may have a therapeutic advantage over mAbs targeting just one hapten. 692/29 has a more restricted normal tissue distribution and a higher antigen threshold for killing which should reduce its toxicity compared to a Lewis(y) specific mAb. 692/29 has an ability to directly kill tumours whereas the anti-Lewis(b) mAb does not. This suggests that Lewis(y) but not Lewis(b) are functional glycans. 692/29 showed good anti-tumour responses in vivo and is a strong therapeutic candidate.
  • Immunogen: Colonic Adenoma membranes
  • Isotype: IgG3 kappa
  • Research area: Cancer; Genetics
  • Myeloma used: P3/NS1/1-Ag4.1

  • For Research Use Only

Target Details

  • Target: Lewis Y
  • Target background: MAbs targeting both Lewis(y) and Lewis(b) may have a therapeutic advantage over mAbs targeting just one hapten. 692/29 has a more restricted normal tissue distribution and a higher antigen threshold for killing which should reduce its toxicity compared to a Lewis(y) specific mAb. 692/29 has an ability to directly kill tumours whereas the anti-Lewis(b) mAb does not. This suggests that Lewis(y) but not Lewis(b) are Fn glycans. 692/29 showed good anti-tumour responses in vivo and is a strong therapeutic candidate.
