Antibody VFF-18 specific for epitope encoded by exon v6 of CD44

摘要

New antibody (Ab), designated VFF-18, is directed against an epitope within the amino acid sequence encoded by the variable exon v6 of the CD44 gene and is produced by hybridoma DSM ACC2174. Also new are: (1) hybridoma DSM ACC2174; (2) chemically and enzymatically modified forms of Ab; (3) recombinant Ab molecules with the idiotype of VFF-18; and (4) Ab molecules that recognise the same epitope as VFF-18.
