| Abstract | The ERBB2 (also called HER2, neu, and c-erbB-2) gene product, which encodes a growth factor receptor, was implicated in the malignancy of human adenocarcinomas. An antibody directed to the rat oncogenic receptor has been previously shown to have an antitumor effect in model systems. In an attempt to extend this observation to the protooncogenic human receptor and also to understand the underlying mechanism, we generated a panel of monoclonal antibodies specific to the extracellular portion of the ERBB2 protein. The effects of the antibodies on tumor growth were compared with their cellular and biochemical actions in vitro. Surprisingly, opposing in vivo effects were observed: although some antibodies almost completely inhibited the growth in athymic mice of transfected murine fibroblasts that overexpress Erbb-2, other antibodies either accelerated tumor growth or resulted in intermediate responses. When tested on cultured human breast carcinoma cells or ERBB2 transfectants, the tumor-stimulatory antibody was found to induce significant elevation of tyrosine phosphorylation of the ERBB2 protein. In contrast, only partial correlation was observed between the capacity to restrict tumor growth and the effects of the antibodies on receptor degradation and cellular proliferation in vitro. This suggests that the antitumor antibodies affect both receptor function and host-tumor interactions. Our results may help establish experimental criteria for the selection of specific antibodies for use either alone or in conjunction with other molecules as pharmacological antitumor agents. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
