Immunoperoxidase localization of colonic mucoprotein antigen in neoplastic tissues.
نویسنده
چکیده
The distribution of colonic mucoprotein antigen in various types of cancer was examined to determine whether the antigen might have a role as a tissue marker. An antiserum prepared against normal colon-derived colonic mucoprotein antigen and appropriately absorbed with mucinous ovarian cystadenocarcinoma fluid had reactivity limited to the colon and cecum when tested by immunoperoxidase against various normal adult tissue specimens. Among colon carcinomas, 60% of the tumors were stained, and a correlation with tumor differentiation was noted: seven of seven tumors were well differentiated; 21 of 35 tumors were moderately differentiated; and one of seven poorly differentiated tumors expressed the determinants. Of note was the absence of staining with gastric, pancreatic, lung, and endometrial mucin-producing carcinomas. Only one of five mucinous ovarian cystadenocarcinomas was positive for colonic mucoprotein antigen. The potential role of the mucin as a marker for colon carcinoma is discussed.

The distribution of an antigen recognized by murine monoclonal antibody 1D3 (Bhattacharya, M., Chatterjee, S.K., Barlow, J. J., and Fuji, H. Cancer Res., 42: 1650-1654, 1982) was investigated in various types of human malignant and normal adult tissues by indirect immunoperoxidase assay in fixed paraffin-embedded sections. One hundred percent of ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinomas expressed hi...
متن کاملA new antigen on the epithelial membrane : its immunoperoxidase localization in normal and neoplastic tissue
Using antisera raised against defatted human cream we have demonstrated a new antigen on the epithelial membrane. An indirect immunoperoxidase technique on routinely processed histological sections was used, and we describe results which show that this antigen has a widespread but highly selective distribution, being apparently localised to membranes that have a secretary function. The antigen ...

A monosialoganglioside antigen of gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas defined by murine monoclonal antibody was dem onstrated by immunoperoxidase (IP) assay in fixed paraffinembedded tumors in 59% of colonie adenocarcinomas, 86% of pancreatic adenocarcinomas, and 89% of all gastric ade nocarcinomas. In all patients with detectable levels of antigen in circulation, the resected tumors also expresse...

Comparison of human colonic mucoprotein antigen from normal and neoplastic mucosa.
Colonie mucoprotein antigen (CMA), a high-molecularweight, tissue-specific mucin, was obtained from 9 normal mucosa! samples and 12 colonie adenocarcinomas. Puri fication was achieved by means of phenokwater extrac tion followed by ethanol precipitation and molecular sieve chromatography. Chemical analyses of the individual nor mal CMA preparations indicated similar qualitative and quantitative...
