CCR4 Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: KW-0761 (Mogamulizumab)]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	KW-0761 (Mogamulizumab)
Reactivity	Human
Host	Rabbit
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	This antibody was prepared by humanization of a mouse anti-CCR4 mAb.
Specificity	This antibody is specific for human CCR4, a chemokine receptor that is preferentially expressed by Th2 and regulatory T (Treg) cells. CCR4 is also detected on basophils, platelets, monocytes and brain microvascular and coronary artery endothelial cells. The clinically used format of this antibody (which underwent additional de-fucosylation to increase antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC)), has significant clinical activity in heavily pretreated patients with mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, and is associated with an overall response rate of 36.8% and a median duration of response of 10.4 months (Duvic et al, 2014). It was shown to CCR4-expressing cells by antibody-dependent, cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC). Therapeutically, this results in a dual mechanism of action; in addition to directly targeting malignant T cells over-expressing CCR4, this antibody also depletes T reg cells, an important therapeutic target in human cancers. This antibody is well-tolerated, and administration does not appear to trigger clinically significant autoimmune complications in phase 1/2 trials (Duvic et al, 2014). This antibody has been approved in Japan for the treatment of relapsed or refractory adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, and is in clinical trials for solid cancers. For the avoidance of doubt - the material produced by Absolute Antibody has not been de-fucosylated.
Formulation	PBS with 0.02% Proclin 300.
Concentration	lot specific
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Please store at 4°C for up to 3 months. For longer storage, aliquot and store at -20°C. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
