In
vitro CDC activity of patient 13 serum. The serum was
collected (A) before infusion 1, (B) before infusion 2, and (C)
before infusion 3 of 20 mg/m2 KM871 doses. CDC analyses
were performed in the presence of 0.001-10 µg/mL exogenous
KM871 (solid circles) and the isotype matched control antibody
KM966 (gray squares) on target SK-MEL-28 cells. High background
cytolytic activity was observed due to the presence of circulating
KM871 in the patient sera. Based upon ELISA pharmacokinetic measurements,
the data were corrected for KM871 concentration for (D) before
infusion 2 and (E) before infusion 3 CDC analyses. (F) High background
CDC activity of patient serum was not present in the control Lewis
Y system in the presence of increasing hu3S193 (solid circles
with lines) and isotype control (circles with white dot) antibodies. |
