“…The antibodies now used for the treatment of CRC target EGFR and VEGF (Cunningham et al, 2004;Adams and Weiner, 2005;Goldberg, 2005;Carter, 2006;Saltz et al, 2006) and only appear to be effective in subsets of patients. Earlier work from our laboratory has shown that the antibody PR1A3, which is specific for membrane-bound carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA, formally designated CEACAM5), elicits ADCC against CEA-positive CRC cell lines even in the presence of super-physiological levels of free CEA (Durbin and Bodmer, 1987;Durbin et al, 1994;Conaghan et al, 2008).…”
