title: [Anti Shiga-like toxin II(SLT-II) humanized monoclonal antibody].
abstract: Anti-Shiga-Like Toxin II(SLT-II) Humanized Monoclonal Antibody(TMA-15) was constructed from Mouse Monoclonal Antibody(MuVTm1.1) recognizing the same antigen using recombinant and CDR grafting technology. TMA-15 had almost the same affinity to SLT-II as MuVTm1.1 and showed the good protective activity of mice challenged either with SLT-II or with SLT-II secreting Shiga-like Toxin producing E. coli(STEC). TMA-15 showed no acute toxicity to monkeys and no cross-reactivity to human tissues in pre-clinical safety studies. From the preliminary results of Phase 1 clinical trial using healthy adult volunteers, doses up to planned maximum dose were well tolerated and TMA-15 showed long half life in blood almost comparable to gamma globulin preparations. Therefore, TMA-15 is expected to show clinical efficacy in coming clinical trial using pediatric STEC patients.
