Anti-Lewis B/Lewis Y Monoclonal Antibody GNX102 - CISMeF
Anti-Lewis B/Lewis Y Monoclonal Antibody GNX102NCIt concept
Preferred Label : Anti-Lewis B/Lewis Y Monoclonal Antibody GNX102;
NCIt synonyms : Anti-branched Lewis B/Lewis Y Monoclonal Antibody GNX102; Anti-LeB/LeY Monoclonal Antibody GNX102;
NCIt definition : A humanized monoclonal antibody directed against human tumor-associated carbohydrate
antigens (TACAs) Lewis B (LeB) and Lewis Y (LeY), with potential antineoplastic activity.
Upon administration, anti-LeB/LeY monoclonal antibody GNX102 binds to branched LeB
and LeY glycans, which may induce an antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)
response against LeB- and LeY-expressing tumor cells. LeB and LeY antigens, tetrasaccharides
with low to moderate expression in monomeric form in normal adult tissues, is overexpressed
in branched form in multiple forms of cancers.;
