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.
