An antibody, or a derivate or a fragment thereof, having a binding structure for a target structure is described. The antibody is displayed in, and on the cell surface of, human gastrointestinal epithelial tumour cells and in a subpopulation of normal human gastrointestinal epithelial cells. Said binding structure comprises the complementarity determining region (CDR) sequences in the light chain comprising essentially the amino acids number 23 33 (CDR1), 49 55 (CDR2), 88 98 (CDR3) of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:2, and the CDR sequences in the heavy chain comprising essentially the amino acids number 158 162 (CDR1), 177 193 (CDR2, 226 238 (CDR3) of the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:2, or other binding structures with similar unique binding properties. There is also described a target structure displayed in, or on the surface of tumour cells, vaccine compositions, pharmaceutical compositions as well as methods related to human malignant diseases.
