We performed two projects by using the phage antibody technology.
(1) Development of therapeutic antibodies against cancers
We identified 32 kinds of cancer-specific protein antigens that are either specifically or dominantly expressed on the cell surface of cancer tissues. We also succeeded in isolating of several hundreds of human monoclonal antibodies that can specifically and tightly bind to one of the above antigens. We search for the clones that are effective as drugs against various kinds of cancers. According to this strategy, we are going to start the clinical examinations.
(2) Analysis of the repertoire of neutralizing antibodies against influenza viruses in human
We established the strategy for analyzing the neutralizing antibody repertoire against influenza viruses in human. The results indicated that neutralizing antibodies are selected during repetitive infection of viruses whose sequences are gradually changed, and eventually antibodies that bind to the epitope commonly present on all the viruses become dominant in human bodies. This observation is very different from the common sense that is shared among the society of influenza researchers
