The potential for experimental immunotherapy of colorectal cancers by mouse IgG2a monoclonal antibody (MAb) ND4 is investigated. The MAb ND4 recognizes a 160 kd cell surface glycoprotein that is strongly expressed in 58% of colorectal carcinomas. The antibody is internalizable by MIP-101 colorectal carcinoma cells. Biodistribution studies in nude mice bearing MIP-101 subcutaneous tumors showed accumulation of 125I-ND4 MAb in tumors from 5% at 18 hours to 14% of the injected dose per gram tissue at 14 days after intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. Experimental immunotherapy studies using 125I-ND4 in MIP-101 tumor-bearing nude mice showed 64% inhibition of tumor growth 2 weeks after two i.p. injections at 7-day intervals. The MAb ND4 may be useful as a therapeutic reagent for colorectal tumors.
