  • Patent number: 7288637
    Abstract: More than 90% of mutations found in the p53 protein produce a conformational change in p53 which results in the exposure of an epitope, which is otherwise hidden in the hydrophobic core of the molecule. A single chain antibody (scFv) which specifically recognizes this common mutant epitope in mutant p53 but not in wild type p53 is disclosed. Also described are a DNA molecule encoding the scFv, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibody and methods of treatment using the pharmaceutical compositions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 2002
    Date of Patent: October 30, 2007
    Assignee: Ramot At Tel Aviv University Ltd.
