Binding of mAbs cetuximab and matuzumab to synthetic peptides VLPKTLCGGGS (left) and ACKYPLGHQCGGGS(right) was measured by ELISA by adding serial dilutions of cetuximab, matuzumab or anti-ErbB2 mAb trastuzumab as control totriplicate samples of immobilized peptides (c). Data are represented as mean±s.d.

Renca-lacZ/EGFR cells were incubated with rabbitanti-KTL peptide antibodies generated by immunization with synthetic peptide VLPKTLCGGGS (a). Control cells were incubatedwith matuzumab, pre-immune rabbit serum or anti-peptide antibodies pretreated with a 40-fold molar excess of specific peptide asindicated. Bound antibodies were detected with FITC-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (anti-peptide antibodies) or anti-human IgG(matuzumab). Cell bodies were visualized by staining with an excess of propidium iodide (PI).

Inhibitionof tumor cell growth by anti-peptide antibodies (c). Triplicate samples of A431 and MDA-MB468 cells were incubated with 50 mg/ml ofanti-KTL or anti-YPLG peptide antibodies, or matuzumab, trastuzumab or pre-immune serum as indicated. The relative number ofviable cells in comparison to PBS-treated controls was determined after 70 h in MTT cell viability assays. Representative data from oneof two independent experiments are shown. Statistically significant differences between PBS-treated group and groups treated withantibodies are indicated. ***Po0.001; **Po0.01; NS, P40.05. Data are represented as mean±s.d.
