Demonstration of Common Sarcoma-associated Antigen(s) in an Established Human Neurogenic Sarcoma Cell Line1
نویسندگان
چکیده
An established human neurogenic sarcoma cell line pre sented a tumor-associated antigen common to various sarcoma tumors. The antigen was detected by immunofluorescent techniques with the use of the sera of patients bearing such tumors and is located mainly on the cellular surface. The tumor-specific antibody of most sera showed only membrane immunofluorescence while five sera revealed both intracytoplasmic and membrane immunofluorescence. In one case, only intracytoplasmic fluorescence was detected. Sixteen of 22 sera of patients with sarcoma gave positive reactions with antibody titers ranging from 40 to 160. Only 1 of 16 sera from patients with other neoplastic diseases and 1 serum of 18 normal sera gave positive results. The tumor antigen(s) present in this established cell line may provide an easy, standard source in the development of a clinical laboratory screening and monitoring assay for sarcoma tumors.

A human neurogenic sarcoma was established in vitro and maintained in continuous growth for over 5 years. The cells exhibit morphological characteristics of neurosarcoma at the light and electron microscope level. The karyotype is aneuploid (near-triploid to near-tetraploid) and presents marker chromosomes. The doubling time is 63 hr. The generation time is 58 hr, and the length of the differen...
متن کاملClear cell sarcoma of the hand: a case of malignant melanoma of soft parts
A case is reported with clear cell sarcoma (CCS) of the hand. Early diagnosis of clear cell sarcoma is always difficult due to its slow growing nature, benign clinical appearance, lack of pigmentation in most cases, and relatively young age of patients which make it to clinically appear as a benign soft tissue tumor. We report a case of clear cell sarcoma of hand in a 56 year old male with a no...
