Isolation of anti-tumor monoclonal antibodies targeting on MICA/B α3 domain by single B cell technology for colon cancer therapy.

ABSTRACT: Colon cancer (CC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal malignancies. Effectiveness of the existing therapies is limited. Immunotherapy is a promising complementary treatment approach for CC. Major histocompatibility complex class I-related protein A and B (MICA/B) are ligands for NK cells. Shedding of MICA/B from the surface of tumor cells by cleavage of MICA/B at the membrane proxial region in MICA/B α3 structural domain is one of immune evasion strategies leading to escape of cancer cells from immunosurveillance. In this study, we generated a panel of MICA/B monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and identified one of mAbs, mAb RDM028, that had high binding affinity to MICA/B and recognized a site on MICA/B α3 structural domain that is critically important for cleavage of MICA/B.
