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.
