Abstract

The present invention provides an antibody specifically binding to death receptor 5 (DR5), which is selected from the group consisting of: an antibody comprising a heavy chain variable region (VH) having the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 3 at complementary determining regions (CDRs) and a light chain variable region (VL) having the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 4 to 6 at CDRs; and an antibody comprising a (VH) having the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 7 to 9 at CDRs and a (VL) having the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 10 to 12 at CDRs, and a composition for preventing or treating a cancer comprising the same. The antibody of the present invention can be effectively used for the prevention or treatment of various cancers, through inducing autophagic cell death of TRAIL-sensitive cancer cells as well as TRAIL-resistant cancer cells by specific binding to DR5.
