摘要:
A panel of monoclonal antibodies produced from normal human lung fibroblasts and human lung tumors as immunogen is used to diagnose the presence of lung tumors and differentiate between those which are benign and those which are cancerous.
摘要:
A panel of monoclonal antibodies produced from human gastrointestinal tumors as immunogen is used to diagnose the presence of colon cancer. The antibody panel subsets the human gastrointestinal tract in its reactivity vis-a-vis esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon. The panel is useful as a diagnostic probe for cancer.
摘要:
Antigenic profiles of renal carcinoma specimans developed with panels of monoclonal antibodies derived from several different tissues serve as useful clinical indicators for cancer type, cancer subset as well as histiogenesis and prognosis indicators.
摘要:
A panel of monoclonal antibodies, produced from human bladder tumors as immunogen, is used to diagnose the presence of transitional cell carcinoma in patients. The panel is also used to identify and differentiate low grade non-invasive papillomas from invasive life-threatening transitional cell carcinomas, thereby enabling decisions as to the extent of bladder surgery. These mAbs can also be used as a panel for tissue typing of normal and abnormal cell specimens.
摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies to specific cell surface antigens of human choriocarcinoma, teratocarcinoma, and normal trophoblasts are disclosed. Additionally, panels of monoclonal antibodies which may be used in phenotyping cell and tissue samples are disclosed as well.
摘要:
Mouse monoclonal antibodies to several cell antigens of human ovarian, cervical and endometrial carcinomas have been produced and characterized. The distribution of the antigens was determined by mixed hemagglutination assays on 153 normal and malignant cell cultures of various types, and by immunoperoxidase staining of frozen sections of 27 normal adult and 24 fetal tissues. five monoclonal antibodies representative of five classes of mAb raised to restricted ovarian, cervical and endometrial cells were tested extensively producing mAb reactive with cancer but not normal cells. One such mAb, MF116 was readily detected in the spent culture medium of metabolically radiolabeled cells. These antibodies, reacting with relatively restricted cell surface antigens, are useful in the analysis of epithelial cell differentiation, in cancer diagnosis and therapy and in tissue typing of normal or abnormal cells.
摘要:
The subject invention describes a method of determining the secretor status of an individual which comprises obtaining a sample of a biological fluid from the individual and determining whether the sample includes the Lewis.sup.a or Lewis.sup.b antigens, the presence of the Lewis.sup.a antigen in the sample indicating that the individual is a nonsecretor, the presence of the Lewis.sup.b antigen in the sample indicating that the individual is a secretor, and the presence of neither antigen indicating the secretor status of the individual is inconclusive. The invention also provides a method of further determining the secretor status of an individual of having an inconclusive secretor status which comprises determining whether the biological fluid sample from the individual includes A, B or precursor type 1 chain antigens, the presence of any such antigens in the sample indicating that the individual is a secretor, the lack of any such antigens in the sample indicating that the individual is a nonsecretor. The invention provides a method of determining whether a human female subject is susceptible to urogenital infection which comprises determining whether the subject is a secretor according to the hereinabove-described methods, a secretor being susceptible to such an infection. The present application also provides a method of disstinguishing urothelial carcinoma from normal tissue, and identifying human germ cell tumor as seminoma or nonseminoma. Finally, the invention provides a panel comprising some or all of the monoclonal antibodies H 29-36 (ATCC No. HB 8248), S8 (ATCC No. HB 9036), T 174 (ATCC No. HB 8242), T 218 (ATCC No. HB 8249), P 12 (ATCC No. HB 8551), F 3 (ATCC No. HB 8217), and K 21 (ATCC No. HB 8549).
摘要:
Clinical information, molecular information and/or computer-generated morphometric information is used in a predictive model for predicting the occurrence of a medical condition. In an embodiment, a model predicts whether a patient is likely to have a favorable pathological stage of prostate cancer, where the model is based on features including one or more (e.g., all) of preoperative PSA, Gleason Score, a measurement of expression of androgen receptor (AR) in epithelial and stromal nuclei and/or a measurement of expression of Ki67-positive epithelial nuclei, a morphometric measurement of a ratio of area of epithelial nuclei outside gland units to area of epithelial nuclei within gland units, and a morphometric measurement of area of epithelial nuclei distributed away from gland units. In some embodiments, quantitative measurements of protein expression in cell lines are utilized to objectively assess assay (e.g., multiplex immunofluorescence (IF)) performance and/or to normalize features for use within a predictive model.
