Cancer Detection by Immunoscintigraphy, Selection, and Clinical Application of Monoclonal Anti-CEA Antibodies and Their F (ab′)2 or Fab Fragments

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Recent Results in Cancer Research ((RECENTCANCER,volume 100))

Abstract

The concept of using radiolabeled antibodies capable of localizing the hidden cancer cells [14] has been revitalized by the discovery of the monoclonal antibody (Mab) technology [9]. This discovery has not yet led to the identification of absolutely specific tumor antigens, but has allowed the selection of perfectly homogeneous Mabs which bind with high affinity to tumor-associated markers.
