InVivoMAb anti-human TROP-2
Product Details
The Pr1E11 monoclonal antibody reacts with human TROP-2, also known as TACSTD2, EGP-1, and GA733-1. TROP-2 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein with high homology to TROP-1/EpCAM. TROP-2 spans the epithelial membrane surface and plays a role in embryonic development, cell self-renewal, proliferation, and transformation. TROP-2 is found on the surface of multiple normal epithelial tissues, including skin and oral mucosa. TROP-2 can promote tumor growth and its overexpression is common in many types of malignant epithelial tumors. A variety of human epithelial cancer cells are characterized by TROP-2 overexpression, including breast, lung, urothelial, gastric, colorectal, pancreatic, prostatic, cervical, head and neck, and ovarian carcinomas.Specifications

TROP-2 is a type ā transmembrane glycoprotein that is highly expressed in various epithelial cancer cells, and its increased expression correlates with poor prognosis. Although several anti-TROP-2 antibodies have been described, they were found unsuitable for antitumor therapy use in vivo as naked antibodies. In this study, we established a novel anti-TROP-2 antibody, designated Pr1E11, from mice immunized with primary prostate cancer cells. Antibody screening was based on the infection activity of Adv-LacZ-FZ33, which displays an immunoglobulin G binding domain in the adenoviral fiber protein. We found that Pr1E11 specifically binds to TROP-2 with high affinity and recognizes diverse epithelial cancer cell lines and primary pancreatic cancer tissues. Epitope analysis using TROP-2 deletion mutants revealed that binding site of Pr1E11 is a cysteine-rich domain, a unique epitope compared with other available anti-TROP-2 antibodies. In addition, Pr1E11 exhibited low internalization activity, which may make it suitable for naked antibody therapeutics. Our results suggest that Pr1E11 may stimulate different biological activities from other anti-TROP-2 antibodies based on its unique binding epitope, and is a potential candidate for naked antibody therapeutics for various epithelial cancer treatments.
