| Research Abstract |
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive malignancy. Therefore, novel therapeutic strategies for MPM are urgently necessary for improving the prognosis. In this study, I investigated whether anti-HM1.24 antibody can induce antitumor effects against MPM. Immunostaining showed the expression of HM1.24 of MPM cell lines and malignant mesothelioma tissues. Furthermore, anti-HM1.24 antibody could induce potent ADCC and CDC against HM1.24-positive MPM cells. These results strongly suggest that targeting therapy with therapeutic antibodies might be useful as a novel immunotherapy against MPM.
