    • Disclosed is a modified anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprising the amino acid replacement Y104D in the variable heavy chain of the unmodified antibody, wherein: the modified anti-EGFR antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprises a variable heavy (VH) chain and a variable light (VL) chain, or a portion thereof that is sufficient to bind EGFR antigen, whereby the VH alone or both the VH and VL is modified; the portion thereof is sufficient to form an antigen binding site and contains the amino acid replacement; the unmodified anti-EGFR antibody is selected from among: i) cetuximab, or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprising a variable heavy chain set forth in SEQ ID NO:3 and a variable light chain set forth in SEQ ID NO:4 or 10; ii) a variant of i) comprising a variable heavy chain having a sequence of amino acids that exhibits at least 85% sequence identity to the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:3, and a variable light chain having a sequence of amino acids that exhibits at least 85% sequence identity to the sequence of amino acids set forth in SEQ ID NO:4 or 10, wherein the variant does not comprise the amino acid replacement and specifically binds to EGFR; and iii) a humanized form of i) or ii); the modified anti-EGFR antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, exhibits a ratio of binding activity to human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or a soluble fragment thereof under conditions in a tumour environment compared to under conditions in a non-tumour environment of at least 2.0; conditions in a tumour environment comprise one or both of pH between 6.0 to 6.5 or lactate concentration between 5 mM to 20 mM, and protein concentration of 10 mg/mL to 50 mg/mL; and conditions in a non-tumour environment comprise one or both of pH of 7.4 or lactate concentration between 0.5 mM to 5 mM, and protein concentration of 10 mg/mL to 50 mg/mL, whereby the anti-EGFR antibody or fragment thereof is conditionally active under conditions in the tumour microenvironment.
