Abstract
A new monoclonal antibody designated FO23C5 against a protein component of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has been developed. A xenograft system of human colon cancer was used to compare the intact monoclonal IgG with its fragments (Fab')2 and Fab) and with an established anti-CEA antibody (MAb35) and the antibody AUA1 raised against the colon carcinoma cell line. We demonstrate that FO23C5 compares well with the existing anti-CEA antibody and with AUA1, and that F(ab')2 fragments perform best in achieving optimal tumour to normal tissue ratios compared with intact IgG and Fab fragment.
