USE OF ANTIBODY MOLECULE BINDING TO THE AMINO ACID SEQUENCE WFGNRWHEGYR

摘要

The invention concerns a method of diagnosing and treating epithelioma, the method being based on the expression of the variant exon v6 of the CD44 gene as the molecular target. In a preferred embodiment, v6-specific antibody molecules, in particular the monoclonal antibody BIWA-1 (VFF-18), are used for this purpose.
