ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a low cost, less toxic, anti-cancer immunotherapy which enhances the host's immune system ability to destroy or contain cancers, and also provides a diagnostic test for cancer. Specifically, the present invention provides monoclonal antibodies specific for, that is, specifically bind, oncofetal protein (OFP), a cancer cell product. Tumors treated with a single dose of the monoclonal antibodies against OFP are markedly reduced in size, and leukemic populations of cells treated with a single does of monoclonal antibodies against OFP are significantly decreased in number. Since the monoclonal antibodies of the present invention do not bind to tumor cells, the monoclonal antibody treatment overcomes the disadvantages associated with tumor cell targeting. Monoclonal antibodies to OFP offer a simple and inexpensive agent for use as a primary or adjuvant therapy against a wide variety of cancers and tumors in humans and other animals. The monoclonal antibodies against OFP are also employed to detect cancer in animal, including human patients.
