Although some anti©\CEA antibodies have been tested, to the best of our knowledge, there are currently no clinically approved anti©\CEA antibody therapies. Because of this, we have created the novel anti©\CEA antibody, 15©\1©\32, which exhibits stronger binding to membrane©\bound CEA on cancer cells than existing anti©\CEA antibodies. 15©\1©\32 also shows poor affinity for soluble CEA; thus, the binding activity of 15©\1©\32 to membrane©\bound CEA is not influenced by soluble CEA. In addition, we constructed a 15©\1©\32©\monomethyl auristatin E conjugate (15©\1©\32©\vcMMAE) to improve the therapeutic efficacy of 15©\1©\32. 15©\1©\32©\vcMMAE showed enhanced antitumor activity against gastric cancer cell lines. Unlike with existing anti©\CEA antibody therapies, antitumor activity of 15©\1©\32©\vcMMAE was retained in the presence of high concentrations of soluble CEA %K Antibody %K antibody¨Cdrug conjugate %K CEA %K esophageal cancer %K gastric cancer %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5387159/
