More Information
Summary:The present invention provides an anti-VEGF human monoclonal antibody capable of binding to human VEGF to neutralize its activity, a cell strain producing said human monoclonal antibody, and a vascularization inhibitor containing said human monoclonal antibody. Hybridoma strains VA01 and BL2 producing the anti-VEGF human monoclonal antibody can also be provided according to the present invention by transformation with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) of human lymphocyte producing anti-human VEGF antibody and then fusing the transformant cells with human myeloma cells. The monoclonal antibody of the present invention can serve as a vascularization inhibitor which is useful for human because it is derived from human and capable of binding specifically to VEGF participating in vascularization, to inhibit the migration or proliferation of vascular endothelial cells.
