Metuzumab  (Synonyms: Licartin; Metuximab; Mehuzumab)

Cat. No.: HY-P991883
Technical Support

Metuzumab (Licartin) is a human-mouse chimeric IgG1 monoclonal antibody targeting CD147. Metuzumab induces Apoptosis, reduces levels of Cyclin D1, full-length Caspase-3, and Bcl-2, and increases Bax expression. Metuzumab enhances the sensitivity of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells to Gemcitabine (HY-17026). Metuzumab is applicable for research on hepatocellular carcinoma and non-small cell lung cancer [1] [2].

In Vitro

Metuzumab (0.1-100 μg/ml; 48 h) inhibits migration of SMMC-7721 cells in 2D culture in a dose-dependent manner[1].
Metuzumab (0.1-100 μg/ml; 24 h) inhibits invasion of SMMC-7721 cells in 2D Transwell assays in a dose-dependent manner[1].
Metuzumab (0.1-100 μg/ml; 48 h) inhibits proliferation of SMMC-7721 cells in 2D, 3DP, and 3DPF models in a dose-dependent manner[1].
Metuzumab (24 h) induces G1-phase arrest in A549, NCI-H460, and NCI-H520 NSCLC cells when combined with Gemcitabine, downregulating cyclin D1[2].

Cell Migration Assay[1]

Cell Line: human hepatocellular carcinoma SMMC-7721 cells (2D model)
Concentration: 0.1-100 μg/ml
Incubation Time: 48 h
Result: Decreased migration distance with increasing dose; distances for 1, 10, 100 μg/ml groups were 126.1 ± 6.7 μm, 98.8 ± 2.4 μm, 73.3 ± 8.5 μm, respectively, all significantly shorter than negative control and 0.1 μg/ml groups
In Vivo

Metuzumab (10 mg/kg; twice weekly) inhibits NSCLC tumor growth and enhances GP chemotherapy efficacy in BALB/c athymic nude mice NSCLC xenograft models (with a tumor growth inhibition of up to 91.89%)[2].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: BALB/c athymic nude mice (female, 5–6 weeks old)[2]
Dosage: 10 mg/kg
Administration: twice weekly
Result: Reduced tumor volume by 39.34% (A549), 36.39% (NCI-H460), and 35.18% (NCI-H520) compared to saline controls. Enhanced tumor growth inhibition to 91.89% (A549, p < 0.001 vs. GP alone), 73.99% (NCI-H460, p = 0.0001 vs. GP alone), and 69.74% (NCI-H520, p < 0.001 vs. GP alone) when combined with GP. Increased deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) expression by 2.1-fold (A549), 1.4-fold (NCI-H460), and 1.7-fold (NCI-H520) in tumor tissues (measured by IOD).

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
