ANTIBODY SPECIFICALLY BINDING TO PTK7 AND USE THEREOF

Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
Proposed are antibodies specifically binding to PTK7 and a use thereof and, more particularly, PTK7 neutralizing antibodies specifically binding to PTK7 to inhibit PTK function, and a use thereof for inhibiting angiogenesis, cell growth, cell migration, and cell invasion. The human PTK7 neutralizing monoclonal antibodies have been found to independently exhibit an effective inhibitory effect on cancer cell growth, migration, invasion in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and triple-negative breast cancer, and angiogenesis. Therefore, the human PTK7 neutralizing monoclonal antibodies can be applied to various PTK7-positive carcinomas and angiogenic diseases, and can be further developed as a targeted drug therapy for intractable cancers and angiogenic diseases to be used as a core global treatment drug for the same.
