A monoclonal antibody against carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), MAbC27, and its F(ab')2 fragments were prepared and labeled with /sup 131/I. They effectively suppressed the growth of a human colorectal carcinoma cell line, LS174T, both in culture medium and in inoculated nude mice, whereas /sup 131/I-labeled normal mouse immunoglobulin or /sup 131/I itself did not have similar effects. Intravenous injection of /sup 131/I-MAbC27 or /sup 131/I-MAbF(ab')2 following inoculation of carcinoma cells suppressed their growth in vivo. The suppression effect was even more effective when intact antibody rather than its F(ab')2 fragments was used, especially when the treatment was repeated. This study indicates that radiolabeled MAbC27 may be used as a therapeutic agent in CEA-secreting human colorectal carcinomas.
