摘要:
Mouse monoclonal antibody AbR.sub.24 (Dippold et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 77:6114-6118, 1980) has a high degree of specificity for human melanoma cells when tested on viable cultured cells using the PA-MHA serological assay. The antigen detected by this antibody has been isolated from melanoma cells and shown to be G.sub.D3 ganglioside by compositional and partial structural analysis and by comparison with authentic G.sub.D3 by thin layer chromatography (TLC). AbR.sub.24 reacts with authentic G.sub.D3, but not with any other ganglioside tested. Using TLC and reactivity with AbR.sub.24, a wide range of cells and tissues was examined for the presence of G.sub.D3. A new serological assay, termed glycolipid-mediated immune adherence (GMIA), was devised for assaying the reactivity of AbR.sub.24 with gangliosides. Melanomas (cultured cells or tumor tissue) were shown to have T.sub.D3 and G.sub.M3 as major gangliosides. Other cells and tissues examined also contained G.sub.D3, but usually only in low amounts. Melanomas (and MOLT-4, a T-cell line) were characterized by a simplified ganglioside profile with G.sub.D3 and G.sub.M3 as major components. The apparent discrepancy between the ubiquitous presence of G.sub.D3 and the serological specificity of AbR.sub.24 for melanoma cells can be explained in terms of localization and concentration of G.sub.D3 in different cells.
摘要:
The present invention concerns novel immunoprecipitating autologous antibodies which recognize the Class 1 gp90 antigen on melanoma cells. These antibodies, optionally tagged with a chromophoric or radioactive label and immobilized on an inert support, may be used to recognize and isolate the gp90 antigen from melanoma cell extracts. Monoclonal antibodies to melanoma may be screened with the gp90 antigen for those which recognize epitopes other than the FD antigenic system.The cell line containing the gp90 antigen which has been cultured in vitro is a source of gp90 antigen for generation of monoclonal antibodies which will be useful in analyzing the gp90 antigen for those epitopes which may be of diagnostic value in immunoassay of melanoma.

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:
This invention provides a monoclonal antibody, produced by the hybridoma cell line designated GXM1, which specifically binds to a human class 1tumor antigen. This invention also provides a human monoclonal antibody, produced by a hybridoma cell line designated HJM1, which specifically binds to each of the ganglioside antigens GD2, GD3, GM3 and GD1b. This invention further provides a human monoclonal antibody, produced by a hybridoma cell line designated FCM1, which specifically binds to the ganglioside antigens GM3 and GD1a. Finally, this invention provides a human monoclonal antibody, produced by a hybridoma cell line designated DSM1, which specifically binds to a human class 2 tumor protein antigen.
摘要:
Antibody-producing hybridoma cell lines made by fusion of NS/1 cells with spleen cells of mice after immunization with human teratocarcinoma cells are presented. Monoclonal antibodies from these cell lines recognize the K4, K2 and P12 antigenic systems and are thus useful in detecting and differentiating between normal and cancerous cells. These monoclonal antibodies are especially useful in pathologic analysis of human tumors, especially teratocarcinomas.
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.
