NCIt definition : An antibody-drug conjugate composed of the chimeric monoclonal antibody BR96 chemically
linked to the cytotoxic drug doxorubicin. The antibody moiety of BMS-182248-1 binds
to Lewis Y, a cell surface antigen expressed on many solid tumor types. Thus, the
doxorubicin conjugate is targeted specifically to Lewis Y-expressing tumor cells,
where it intercalates with DNA, thereby inhibiting DNA replication and repair, RNA
synthesis and protein synthesis. (NCI);
