INAAG: New Antigens Against Glioblastoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In this study the investigators will select and develop potential therapeutic monoclonal antibodies for GB. Activities include tissue microarray (TMA) to test mAbs specificity and target distribution, selection of GB-specific functional mAbs, identification of candidate targets.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Validation of the tumour specificity of the identified mAbs [4 years]
Candidate mAbs will be tested by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on sections of GB tissue and healthy counterpart.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Generate the scFvs (single chain Fab antibody fragments) and then develop the CAR T cells [4 years]
After defining a subset of potentially highly selective ~7 mAbs, together with the ~6 that showed preliminary activity in cytotoxic tests (either alone or conjugated), the investigators will perform a thorough analysis of their specificity on a TMA platform. After establishing the staining conditions, the investigators will test multiple tumor and multiple normal TMAs
