More importantly, Anti-TEM8 monoclonal antibody and a targeted sequence of polypeptide (PEP, KYNDRLPLYISNP, referred from reported literature36), which was able to specifically bind to TEM8 on membranes of human colon carcinoma cell line SW620, was utilized as a recognition element to target TEM8. This evidence concerns the gene ANTXR1 and colon carcinoma.
