Outline of Final Research Achievements

The study revealed that antibody clone 4G1-E3 is an antibody that reacts specifically to a variety of canine tumors. In addition, 4G1-E3 was used to make a chimeric antibody by recombination with the constant region of canine IgG-B. On the other hand, the 4G1-E3 chimeric antibody itself was unfortunately found to be a non-cytotoxic antibody in in vitro assays. However, a CRISPR library search for molecules recognized by the 4G1-E3 antibody revealed that clone 4G1-E3 recognised canine CD99 molecule. The antibody was also found to simultaneously recognize human CD99 molecules.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究から得られた抗体クローン4G1-E3が様々な犬の腫瘍に特異的に反応する抗体であることが明らかとなったが、残念ながら、本抗体が直接細胞傷害を目的とした抗体薬として臨床的に使用することはできないことが判明した。しかし本抗体に薬物を結合させたADC抗体として用いることも可能であるし、また本抗体のscFVを使用して、CAR-T療法として、など、犬の幅広い腫瘍に反応する可能性がある治療法へ展開できるため、今後犬のがんの細胞傷害を目的とした治療法を開発するうえで非常に重要な知見となる。
