EGFRvIII Antibodies for the Treatment of Human Cancer
Abstract: Epidermal growth factor receptor variant III (EGFRvIII) is a variant of EGFR that is an excellent target for immunotherapy because of its expression in cancer cells and not in normal cells.  Inventors from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have isolated seven mouse monoclonal antibodies that bind to the human EGFRvIII but not wildtype EGFR....
