Abstract
The invention provides a family of antibodies that specifically bind the human epithelial cell adhesion molecule. The antibodies comprise modified variable regions, more specially, modified framework regions, which reduce their immunogenicity when administered to a human. The antibodies, when coupled to the appropriate moiety, may be used in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer.
