The invention provides isolated anti-ovarian, pancreatic, lung or breast
cancer antigen (Ovr110) antibodies that internalize upon binding to
Ovr110 on a mammalian in vivo. The invention also encompasses
compositions comprising an anti-Ovr110 antibody and a carrier. These
compositions can be provided in an article of manufacture or a kit.
Another aspect of the invention is an isolated nucleic acid encoding an
anti-Ovr110 antibody, as well as an expression vector comprising the
isolated nucleic acid. Also provided are cells that produce the
anti-Ovr110 antibodies. The invention encompasses a method of producing
the anti-Ovr110 antibodies. Other aspects of the invention are a method
of killing an Ovr110-expressing cancer cell, comprising contacting the
cancer cell with an anti-Ovr110 antibody and a method of alleviating or
treating an Ovr110-expressing cancer in a mammal, comprising
administering a therapeutically effective amount of the anti-Ovr110
antibody to the mammal.
