摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies to human antigens present on a majority of human cells are described. These mAbs have use in a method for isolating mAb for less expressive antigens, such as cancer antigens, or other antigens associated with particular abnormalities, disorders or disease state. The latter mAbs may be weaker than or not present to such an extent as the first mentioned mAbs. For example, these less expressive mAbs would be useful for cancer diagnosis, especially in the early stages, and for cancer treatment as well where the cancer cell is the target cell for the mAb. The mAb can be tagged with a tissue destructive agent such as a radio-label, a toxin, a chemical poisen, and the like. Some of the mAbs described, subset tumors of particular types and so are useful for tumor subclassification. The mAbs described are also useful in analyzing the properties and functions of their respective antigens in human cells.

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 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.

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.
