Abstract: Expression of proteolytically active, high molecular weight ADAM10 protease is relatively increased in tumour cells that also express the putative tumour stem cell marker CD133. A recombinant humanized antibody or antibody fragment based on 8C7 monoclonal antibody may be used to selectively bind to proteolytically active, high molecular weight ADAM10 protease to thereby detect tumour cells and also as a therapeutic agent for treating cancers, tumours and other malignancies inclusive of leukemia, lymphoma, lung cancer, colon cancer, adenoma, neuroblastoma, brain tumour, renal tumour, prostate cancer, sarcoma and/or melanoma.
