A method of treating cancer comprising administering to a human patient diagnosed with cancer an antibody that binds to AC133 in an amount sufficient to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in the patient, wherein the cancer is not acute leukemia.
A method of treating cancer comprising administering to a human patient diagnosed with cancer an antibody fragment attached to a therapeutic moiety, wherein said antibody fragment binds to AC133, in an amount sufficient to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in the patient, wherein the cancer is not acute leukemia.
A method of treating cancer comprising administering to a human patient diagnosed with cancer an antibody that binds to AC133 in an amount sufficient to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in the patient, wherein the cancer is not leukemia.
A method of treating cancer comprising administering to a human patient diagnosed with cancer an antibody fragment attached to a therapeutic moiety, wherein said antibody fragment binds to AC133, in an amount sufficient to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in the patient, wherein the cancer is not leukemia.
A method of treating cancer comprising administering to a human patient diagnosed with a solid tumor an antibody that binds to AC133 in an amount sufficient to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells in the patient.
