Mesothelin is a differentiation antigen present on the surface of ovarian cancers, mesotheliomas and several other types of human cancers. Because among normal tissues, mesothelin is only present on mesothelial cells, it represents a good target for antibody mediated delivery of cytotoxic agents. The present invention is directed to anti-mesothelin antibodies, including Fv molecules with particularly high affinity for mesothelin, and immunoconjugates employing them. Also described are diagnostic and therapeutic methods using the antibodies. The anti-mesothelin antibodies are well-suited for the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the ovary, stomach, squamous cells, mesotheliomas and other malignant cells expressing mesothelin.

La mésothéline est un antigène de différentiation présent à la surface de cancers ovariens, de mésothéliomes et de plusieurs autres types de cancers humains. Du fait que, parmi des tissus normaux, la mésothéline est seulement présente sur des cellules mésothéliales, elle représente une bonne cible pour des agents cytotoxiques libérés par médiation d'anticorps. La présente invention concerne des anticorps anti-mésothéline, y compris des molécules Fv présentant une affinité élevée pour la mésothéline, ainsi que des immunoconjugués qui les utilisent. Elle concerne aussi des méthodes de diagnostic et thérapeutique utilisant les anticorps. Ces anticorps anti-mésothéline conviennent particulièrement au diagnostic et au traitement de cancers de l'ovaire, de l'estomac, d'épithéliomes, de mésothéliomes et de cancers d'autres cellules malignes exprimant la mésothéline.
