Monoclonal antibodies that bind glypican-2 (GPC2) with high affinity are described. Immunotoxins and chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that include the disclosed antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof are further described. In some instances, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is humanized. The disclosed GPC2-specific antibodies and conjugates can be used, for example, for the diagnosis or treatment of GPC2-positive cancers, including neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma and retinoblastoma. |
