Monoclonal antibodies that bind specifically to Claudin 3 expressed on cell surface are provided. The antibodies of the present invention are useful for diagnosis of cancers that have enhanced expression of Claudin 3, such as ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, stomach cancer, bladder cancer, and colon cancer. The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies showing cytotoxic effects against cells of these cancers. Methods for inducing cell injury in Claudin 3-expressing cells and methods for suppressing proliferation of Claudin 3-expressing cells by contacting Claudin 3-expressing cells with a Claudin 3-binding antibody are disclosed. The present application also discloses methods for diagnosis or treatment of cancers.
提供了特异性结合于细胞表面表达的Claudin 3的单克隆抗体。本发明的抗体对于具有增强Claudin 3表达的癌症的诊断是有用的,如卵巢癌、前列腺癌、乳腺癌、子宫癌、肝癌、肺癌、胰腺癌、胃癌、膀胱癌和结肠癌。本发明提供了对这些癌症细胞具有细胞毒作用的单克隆抗体。公开了诱导Claudin 3表达细胞受损的方法以及通过与Claudin 3结合抗体接触Claudin 3表达细胞来抑制Claudin 3表达细胞增殖的方法。本申请还公开了癌症的诊断或治疗方法。
