pubmed:abstractText
Specific targeting of radioactive agents to tumour cells has been the main objective of the in vivo use of monoclonal antibodies and their fragments. In particular, specific antibodies to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-expressing tumours can be used either for diagnosis or therapy, if targeting could be improved. The expression of antibody fragments in bacteria allows the preparation of engineered molecules with antigen-binding properties and a better penetration into the tumour. A specific anti-CEA single-chain Fv fragment was produced in bacteria and purified. Its binding activity has been demonstrated in ELISA, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry, fluorescence-activated cell sorting and the kinetic parameters determined by the plasmon surface resonance.
