In this study, we conjugated chimeric Fab fragments of the monoclonal antibody (MAb) A7, which reacts with pancreatic cancers, to the antitumor drug neocarzinostatin (chA7Fab-NCS) and intravenously injected 125I-labeled chA7Fab-NCS into nude mice bearing a human pancreatic cancer xenograft. We compared the tumor localization of 125I-labeled chA7Fab-NCS with that of conventional 125I-labeled A7-NCS, which was produced by conjugation of MAb A7 and NCS. 125I-Labeled chA7Fab-NCS accumulated in the tumor earlier than 125I-labeled A7-NCS, and significantly larger amounts of 125I-labeled chA7Fab-NCS had accumulated in the tumor 1 hour after injection. The results suggest that chA7Fab may be a suitable carrier for NCS in immunotargeting therapy against pancreatic cancer.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007140 Immunoglobulin Fab Fragments Univalent antigen-binding fragments composed of one entire IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN and the amino terminal end of one of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS from the hinge region, linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fab contains the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGIONS, which are part of the antigen-binding site, and the first IMMUNOGLOBULIN CONSTANT REGIONS. This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
