Intravenous injection of the murine monoclonal anti-CA125 antibody B43.13 (Ovarex: Ab1) into ovarian cancer patients led to the induction of an idiotypic network. Of the 75 patients who received one to ten injections of a 2-mg dose of the antibody, 48 developed anti-(mAb B43.13) antibodies (Ab2); 18 of these patients also had elevated levels of anti-[anti-(mAb B43.13)] antibodies (Ab3; = anti-CA125 antibodies) compared to pre-injection values. Characterization of these antibodies revealed that the binding to CA125 could be inhibited by mAb B43.13 in most samples. Human anti-CA125 antibodies or Ab3 purified from patient serum samples specifically recognized human ovarian tumor cells and tissues expressing CA125. In addition, these anti-CA125 antibodies were able to conduct Fc-mediated tumor cell killing (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity). This raises the possibility of using an Ab1 for anti-idiotype induction immunotherapy of cancer.
向卵巢癌患者静脉注射鼠单克隆抗CA125抗体B43.13(Ovarex:Ab1)可诱导独特型网络的形成。在接受1至10次2毫克剂量抗体注射的75名患者中,48人产生了抗(单克隆抗体B43.13)抗体(Ab2);与注射前相比,其中18名患者的抗[抗(单克隆抗体B43.13)]抗体(Ab3;即抗CA125抗体)水平也有所升高。对这些抗体的特性分析表明,在大多数样本中,单克隆抗体B43.13可抑制其与CA125的结合。从患者血清样本中纯化的人抗CA125抗体或Ab3可特异性识别表达CA125的人卵巢肿瘤细胞和组织。此外,这些抗CA125抗体能够介导Fc介导的肿瘤细胞杀伤(抗体依赖性细胞介导的细胞毒性)。这增加了使用Ab1进行癌症抗独特型诱导免疫治疗的可能性。
