Recognizes Fibronectin specifically in connective tissues and vessels. No reactivity with the soluble dimeric form of Fibronectin (plasma Fibronectin), but highly reactive with matrix Fibronectin. Animal biodistribution experiments have shown that after intravenous administration, EP-5 antibody localizes to tumor vessels where it binds to the underlying basement membrane. At the same time the antigen recognized by EP-5 antibody is not accessible in normal tissue to circulating antibody indicating that this antibody can be used to target tumor vessels specifically in vivo.

Fibronectin is a glycoprotein present in a soluble dimeric form in plasma, and in a dimeric or multimeric form at the cell surface and in extracellular matrix. Fibronectin is involved in cell adhesion and migration processes including embryogenesis, wound healing, blood coagulation, host defense, and metastasis. They occur as dimers of two 250 kDa subunits. They have binding domains for bacterial proteins, collagens, heparin-like molecules and fibrin. Cellular fibronectin is widely distributed in the stroma of malignant tumours. Fibronectin is organized as a linear series of repeating modules which form domains for interaction with fibronectin itself, other matrix components (e.g. collagen and heparin) and receptors on cells (e.g. integrins).Synonyms: CIG, Cold-insoluble globulin, FN1
