The monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) HD37 and RFB4 bind to receptors on precursor B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cells. These MAbs were tested alone and in combination with chemotherapy for their anti-leukemic activity. HD37 and not RFB4 increased the in vitro cytotoxicity of daunorubicin (DNR) and vincristine (VCR) in three Pre-B ALL cell lines. HD37 alone induced apoptosis in 30% of the cells versus 2% for RFB4. The treatment of SCID/ALL mice with either chemotherapy agent minimally prolonge ...[more]
