Abstract

Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAb s) and tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGFR), which is often pathogenetically (over-)expressed or mutated in epithelial malignancies and glioma, have been modestly successful, with some approved for human use. MAb 806 was raised against de2-7EGFR (or EGFRvIII), a constitutively active mutation expressed in gliomas, but also recognizes a subset (
