Abstract

A cancer-specific anti-PDPN mAb, LpMab-23 (mouse IgG1, kappa), was established in our previous study. We herein produced a humanized IgG1 version (humLpMab-23) and defucosylated form (humLpMab-23-f) of an anti-PDPN mAb to increase ADCC activity. humLpMab-23 recognized PDPN-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 (CHO/PDPN), PDPN-positive PC-10 (human lung squamous cell carcinoma), and LN319 (human glioblastoma) cells via flow cytometry. We then demonstrated that humLpMab-23-f induced ADCC and complement-dependent cytotoxicity against CHO/PDPN, PC-10, and LN319 cells in vitro and exerted high antitumor activity in mouse xenograft models, indicating that humLpMab-23-f could be useful as an antibody therapy against PDPN-positive lung squamous cell carcinomas and glioblastomas.
