Abstract: A humanized antibody is provided, which is obtained by transplantation of the complementarity determining region of a mouse monoclonal antibody B-B10 specific to a human IL-2 receptor into a human antibody. The antibody has a very low antigenicity, and therefore, it is useful for treatment of carcinoma expressing IL-2 receptor.
