[Theme] To provide a monoclonal antibody against human GPR87. Also, to provide a novel means for diagnosing or treating a malignant tumor. n [Solution means] Monoclonal antibodies against human GPR87 are provided. The antibodies can recognize human GPR87, which is expressed on a cell membrane while retaining a three-dimensional structure, and can recognize GPR87, which is expressed in a cell endogenously with an epitope being present in an extracellular domain of full-length human GPR87. The antibodies are thus useful in biochemical analysis, etc., of GPR87, useful in immunohistological diagnosis, etc., of squamous cell carcinoma, and also potentially useful in PET diagnosis, antibodies for treatment, etc., of squamous cell carcinoma. |
