Monoclonal Antibody BEC2 Definition
A murine anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody (anti-Id MoAb) that is directed against an idiotype mimicking a disialoganglioside GD3. GD3 represents a major surface marker on most human melanoma cells. Due to poor immunogenicity of GD3, anti-Id MoAb BEC2 (Ab2) was raised against a mouse anti-GD3 MoAb, R24 (Ab1). This anti-Id MoAb was shown to be functionally mimicking GD3 in stimulating an immune response to produce Ab3 that may be used in combination with other adjuvants for treatment of melanomas.
