  • Patent number: 8722856
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an antibody which does not bind to a normal cell, and is specific for a cancer cell. The object was solved by the finding by the present inventors that an antibody obtained by immunizing an animal using a 2,3ST glycopeptide as an antigen unexpectedly recognizes a sugar chain specific for a cancer specifically and remarkably, and consequently, can recognize and kill a cancer cell expressing MUC1 having such a cancer cell-specific sugar chain. The present invention provides, for example, an antibody, an antigen-binding fragment thereof or a MUC1-binding molecule, in which specificity for a cancer-associated structure of MUC1 is 100-fold or more as compared with that for a normal tissue-associated structure of MUC1.

  • Patent number: 8536313
    Abstract: A neutralizing monoclonal antibody specifically reacting with MMP13, a method of neutralizing enzyme activity of MMP13 and an immunological measuring method each using the antibody, as well as a diagnostic agent and a pharmaceutical composition containing the antibody, are provided. Various antibodies to MMP13 have been hitherto obtained, but an antibody having neutralizing activity against MMP13 has not been obtained. The present inventors intensively studied, as a result, found out a neutralizing antibody having specificity for MMP13, resulting in completion of the present invention.

  • Publication number: 20120237948
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel monoclonal antibody that is specific for a C-terminal neoepitope of a collagen fragment and has substantially equal binding affinity whether proline contained in the neoepitope is in a non-hydroxylated form or in a hydroxylated form, and an immunoassay, a measurement method, a kit and the like using the antibody. The antibody allows for quantification of a collagen fragment generated by digestion of a biological sample with a collagenase present in the sample, regardless of the presence or absence of a hydroxylated form of proline in the neoepitope.

  • Publication number: 20090298196
    Abstract: The present invention is intended to provide a method of rapidly, simply and accurately measuring a recombinant protein. As means for resolution, the protein quantity is measured by causing the expression of a fusion protein with the target protein and epitope tags containing two types of epitopes, bringing them into contact with detection antibodies which specifically recognize each epitope, and detecting a phenomenon caused by both detection antibodies coming close to each other.
