NCIt definition : An immunoconjugate of a humanized murine monoclonal antibody (huN-901) and DMI, a
semi-synthetic derivative of the plant-derived ansa macrolide maytansine. The antibody
moiety of BB-10901 selectively attaches to CD56 antigen, a neural cell adhesion molecule
(NCAM)) expressed on the surface of cells of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and other
neuroendocrine (NE) tumors. Thus, the DMI conjugate is targeted specifically to CD56-expressing
tumor cells, where it inhibits tubulin polymerization and assembly, resulting in inhibition
of mitosis and cell cycle arrest in the S phase. (NCI04);
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: A substance that combines a monoclonal antibody (huN901) with an anticancer
drug (DM1), and is being studied in the treatment of certain cancers, including non-small
cell lung cancer. Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-produced substances that can
locate and bind to cancer cells.;
