چکیده

of human tumors (1-10, 12-16). Since these extracts un doubtedly contain a spectrum of antigens, normal as well as tumor related, the isolation and purification of the TAA's would facilitate greatly the development of sensitive and specific immunological assays for the diagnosis and man agement of the cancer patient. Attempts to isolate the TAA's with the use of a variety of fractionation procedures (4-8, 15, 16) have been reported. The method of gel filtra tion used alone or in combination with acrybamide gel electrophoresis appears to have been the most successful in obtaining partially purified tumor antigens (6-8, 15, 16). The purpose of this study was to isolate TAA's from 3 M KCI extracts of renal cell carcinoma tissue by a gradient acrylamide gel electrophoresis technique developed in our laboratories (18, 19) and to monitor the antigenicity of the fractions and crude extract by the LMI assay.

E-Cadherin in Relation with the Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen of the Bilharzia Associ-ated and Non-Associated Urinary Bladder Carcinoma

Background: E-cadherin is a trans-membrane glycoprotein that plays a critical role in many aspects of cell adhesion as well as establishment and maintenance of epithelial cell polarity. Loss of the adhesive function of E-cadherin seems to promote invasive and metastatic properties of neoplastic cells. Objectives: The present study is a retrospective study aiming to evaluate the loss of E-cadher...

Distribution of a squamous cell lung carcinoma-associated antigen, KA-32, in human tissues and sera defined by monoclonal antibody KM-32.

The distribution of a variant of blood group A antigen recognized by a murine monoclonal antibody, KM-32, generated against human squamous cell lung carcinoma was investigated in various tissues and sera. By immunoperoxidase staining, the antibody was found to react with a number of lung carcinoma tissues of squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and small cell carcinoma, and several other tu...

Isolation of a herpes simplex virus-specific antigenic fraction which stimulates the production of neutralizing antibody.

Infection of mammalian cells with herpes simplex virus (HSV) results in the production of a number of virus-induced soluble antigens. Immunodiffusion analyses of the soluble antigen mixture (SAM) obtained from HSV-infected KB or BHK cells revealed at least six well-defined immunoprecipitin bands. Calcium phosphate chromatography (Brushite) was employed to separate one immunoprecipitin (designat...

Identification, purification, and radioimmunoassay of NB/70K, a human ovarian tumor-associated antigen.

NB/70K, a tumor-associated antigen of human ovarian epithelial tumor Fraction OCA, has been purified and identified as a glycoprotein which is stable in 0.6 M perchloric acid, binds to concanavalin A, and migrates electrophoretically with alpha-like mobility in barbital-buffered agarose at pH 8.6. NB/70K does not appear to contain normal serum, normal ovary, normal lung, or carcinoembryonic ant...
