Anti-EGFR antibody 528 binds to domain III of EGFR at a site shifted from the cetuximab epitope

Abstract Antibodies have been widely used for cancer therapy owing to their ability to distinguish cancer cells by recognizing cancer-specific antigens. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a promising target for the cancer therapeutics, against which several antibody clones have been develope...
