Abstract

GHR106 is a monoclonal antibody generated against human GnRH receptor. The humanized forms of GHR106 exhibit almost identical biological properties to those of decapeptide GnRH antagonists such as Antide and Cetrorelix. The biosimilarity between these two GnRH receptor ligands was based on the studies of (1) binding affinity and specificity as well as immunohistochemical staining, (2) induced apoptosis to cancer cells and (3) effects of ligand- receptor bindings on gene regulations of cancer cells.
