摘要:
Novel hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies reactive with purified mucin antigens from normal and tumor sources are generated using mucins, including purified mucins from tumor sources. Epitopes on mucin antigens from normal and tumor sources are demonstrated to be distinct, using these new antibodies. The antibodies may be useful alone or in combination, in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer including malignancies of the breast and lung.
摘要:
Methods are disclosed for detecting, staging and monitoring breast cancer. The methods involve determining the amount of certain antigens, designated W1 and W9, in serum via quantitative immunoassays using anti-W1 or anti-W9 monoclonal antibodies. The amount detected is compared with amounts of the antigen found in normal sera, sera from breast cancer patients of predetermined stage, or other samples of the patient's own serum, depending upon the purpose of the assay.
