Title:
RECOMBINANT ANTIBODIES HAVING DUAL SPECIFICITY FOR GANGLIOSIDES AND USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/127373
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel monoclonal antibodies and fragments of said antibodies, which have dual specificity and a high affinity for the gangliosides N-acetyl GM3 and N-glicolyl GM3, and which do not recognize other gangliosides. According to another aspect, the present invention relates to the use of said antibodies and the fragments thereof in tumor therapy, in which said tumors have a significant expression of any of the two antigens recognized by said antibodies, or a mixed expression of both antigens. The invention also relates to a use of said antibodies in the diagnosis of tumors that express at least one of the antigens.
