โฆ Synopsis
Monoclonal antibodies directed to tumor-associated antigens have been chemically conjugated to drugs with different mechanisms of action and different levels of potency. Monoclonal-antibody-directed drug delivery has the potential to both improve efficacy and reduce systemic toxicity. Several immunoconjugates have demonstrated impressive antigenspecific antitumor activity in preclinical models. Phase I trials of a calicheamicin immunoconjugate for treatment of acute myeloid leukemia and a doxorubicin immunoconjugate for treatment of carcinoma have recently been completed.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to normal human hemoglobins (Hbs) A and F and to variant Hbs C and G-Philadelphia were conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and used in qualitative or quantitative enzymelinked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). Conjugates with output molar HRPilgG ratios close to 2.0
A panel of three hybridomas has been isolated each of which secretes a single species of monoclonal antibody (MoAb) directed against the KS1/4 tumor-associated antigen originally described by Varki et al. (Cancer Res 44: 681, 1984). These MoAbs were designated L1-(IgG2b), L2-(IgG1), and L4-(IgG2a)KS
