Y 90 monoclonal antibody CC49
Definition
A radioimmunoconjugate of the humanized monoclonal antibody (MoAb) CC49 labeled with Yttrium 90 (Y-90). MoAb CC49 recognizes the pancarcinoma tumor-associated glycoprotein (TAG)-72 with high affinity. Y-90 MoAb CC49 delivers beta particles emitting Y-90 radionuclide directly to tumor cells that express TAG-72, thereby this agent may be used in radioimmunotherapeutic treatment of cancers.
