ANTIBODIES

Contributor Information
- Name Lindy Durrant
- Institute University of Nottingham
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

- 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.
