Title: | Anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibodies may inhibit A431 tumor cell proliferation by blocking an autocrine pathway |
Conference Title: | 100th Session of the Association of American Physicians |
Abstract: | Monoclonal antibodies which bind to the EGF receptor have the capacity to inhibit EGF-induced effects upon proliferation and biochemical functions in cultured human cells. Some EGF receptor-bearing tumor cells are prevented from growth by treatment with antireceptor antibody. Evidence is presented which suggests that antibody-mediated antiproliferative activity may result from effects upon growth factor-dependent processes in the receptor-bearing cells. |
