Type:Recombinant Monoclonal
Alias:Cytotactin; GMEM; GP 150-225; Glioma-associated-extracellular matrix antigen; Hexabrachion; JI; Myotendinous antigen; Neuronectin; Tenascin-C
Shipping Condition:Blue Ice
Unit(s): 1 mg
Host name: Mouse
Clone: I-81C6 (Neuradiab)
Isotype: IgG2b
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

Application Notes

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).
