Pregnancy-associated CA125 antigen as mucin: evaluation of ferning morphology.
CA125 antigen is a high molecular mass, structurally heterogeneous, mucin-type molecule expressed during embryonic development as well as in adult human tissues. This study was aimed at investigating its mucin-related property of ferning, as a general complementary way of characterization. Pregnancy-associated CA125 antigen (pCA125) was examined using light, transmission and scanning electron m...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of M43: a novel cancer-associated mucin epitope.
A monoclonal antibody to colon carcinoma mucin was found to react with a colon carcinoma-associated carbohydrate epitope. This antibody was used to develop a quantitative solid phase immunoassay, M43. We prospectively and retrospectively evaluated the assay in patients with and without gastrointestinal carcinoma and compared the sensitivity and specificity with that of carcinoembryonic antigen ...
متن کاملThe Role of MUC16 Mucin (CA125) in the Pathogenesis of Ovarian Cancer
The majority of epithelial ovarian carcinomas (EOCs) are derived from the ovarian surface epithelium (OSE). EOCs are the most lethal of all gynecological malignancies. Most patients present with advanced diseases in which tumor cells are disseminated throughout the peritoneal cavity. MUC16 serum level is a well-established marker for ovarian cancer (OC) progression and disease response to treat...
متن کاملMUC16 mucin (CA125) regulates the formation of multicellular aggregates by altering β-catenin signaling.
After shedding from the primary tumor site, ovarian cancer cells form three-dimensional multicellular aggregates that serve as vehicle for cancer cell dissemination in the peritoneal cavity. MUC16 mucin (CA125) is aberrantly expressed by most advanced serous ovarian cancers and can promote proliferation, migration and metastasis. MUC16 associates with E-cadherin and β-catenin, two proteins invo...
متن کاملEvaluation of a recombinant Trypanosoma cruzi mucin-like antigen for serodiagnosis of Chagas' disease.
Chagas' disease is caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and is one of the most important endemic problems in Latin America. Lately, it has also become a health concern in the United States and Europe. Currently, a diagnosis of Chagas' disease and the screening of blood supplies for antiparasite antibodies are achieved by conventional serological tests that show substantial variati...
