Abstract: To identify antigens of the 2D7 antibody, the present inventors cloned the 2D7 antigen. The results suggested that the 2D7 antigen is an HLA class I molecule. Based on this finding, the present inventors examined whether the 2D7 antibody has cell death-inducing activity. Nuclei fragmentation was observed when the 2D7 antibody was cross-linked with another antibody, indicating that cell-death was induced. Further, diabodies of the 2D7 antibody were found to have very strong cell death-inducing activities, even without the addition of another antibody. These results indicate that minibodies of an HLA-recognizing antibody can be used as cell death-inducing agents.

Abstract: The present invention describes therapeutic agents for chemotherapeutic agent-resistant cancers that include an HLA class I-recognizing antibody as an active ingredient. A further objective of the present invention is to provide methods for treating chemotherapeutic agent-resistant cancers that include the step of administering an HLA class I-recognizing antibody to a subject. It is herein demonstrated that cytotoxic activity due to C3B3 diabody is induced at a lower concentration in chemotherapeutic agent-resistant hematological tumor cell lines having high MDR1 and HLA class IA protein expression, than in their parent cell lines. It was also found that when the chemotherapeutic agent-resistant hematological tumor cell line is pretreated with a C3B3 diabody, cell injury associated with sole use of chemotherapeutic agent is enhanced and the amount of pharmaceutical agents taken up into cells are increased.
