| Immunogen: | This therapeutic antibody was generated by radiolabelling, using a modified Iodo-gen procedure, murine anti-human tenascin Mab 81C6. Mab 81C6 was raised by immunizing mice with the glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive human glioma cell line U-251 MG (Bourdon et al, 1983). |
| Application: | ELISA, CCA, RadIod |

This I-labelled murine antibody binds tenascin, which is over expressed in certain cancers, and as a result has been used to deliver a radiation boost to the surgically created resection cavity (SCRC) margin; administration of a patient-specific radioactivity dose of this antibody into the SCRC enabled the consistent achievement of a 44-Gy boost to the SRC 2cm margin, associated with reduced neurotoxicity and improved survival relative to fixed dosing approaches (Reardon, 2008). In addition, a humanized form of this I-labeled murine antibody, generated by joining the 81C6 variable regions to the constant region of human IgG2, has been characterised through binding assays, cross-competition assays and immunoreactivity analysis, and has exhibited superior uptake in human glioma xenografts compared with its murine 81C6 parent (Zalutsky, 1996).
This chimeric rabbit antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG2b format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
