Abstract

We have evaluated the anti-tumor effect of anti-GD2 mouse monoclonal antibody (mAb) 220-51 against human neuroblastoma cell line TGW in vitro and in vivo. The mAb 220-51 was able to mediate complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) using human effector cells. In the presence of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), granulocyte ADCC was significantly augmented in vitro. When mAb 220-51 was administered to tumor-bearing nude mice, tumor growth was significantly inhibited as compared with untreated controls. Administration of recombinant murine GM-CSF in combination with mAb 220-51 significantly enhanced the anti-tumor effect of mAb in vivo. Recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) combined with mAb 220-51 was also able to enhance it, although granulocyte ADCC was not affected by the presence of recombinant human G-CSF in vitro. Moreover, GM-CSF and G-CSF work additively to enhance the anti-tumor effect of mAb 220-51 in vivo. The GM-CSF and G-CSF may have a clinical potency in immunotherapy with anti-GD2 mAb for the treatment of neuroblastoma.
