Carcinoembryonic antigen in human ovarian neoplasms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The presence and location of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was examined in tissue sections of 14 mucinous and 13 serous cystadenomas and cystadenocarcinomas of the ovary. CEA was demonstrated in the mucinous tumors but was not present in the serous tumors. In the mucinous tumors, CEA was located in the glycocalyx and apical portions of the absorptive-type epithelium, with only trace quantities in goblet cells, a pattern identical to that seen in colonic neoplasms. Endocervical-type epithelium in the mucinous tumors contained little or no CEA.

Improved specificity of the CA 125 enzyme immunoassay for ovarian carcinomas by use of the ratio of CA 125 to carcinoembryonic antigen.
We found that ovarian cyst fluids contained carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA 19-9 and CA 125 tumor markers. However, only the ratio of CA 125 to CEA concentrations provided sufficient specificity to differentiate serous from mucinous cysts. For CEA measurement, our results suggested the use of a monoclonal CEA kit. When CEA was determined with a Hybritech monoclonal CEA kit, all ratios in ...
متن کاملAn aptasensor based on electrosynthesized conducting polymers, Cu2O–carbon dots and biosynthesized gold nanoparticles, for monitoring carcinoembryonic antigen
Current work proposes an inimitable composite, with great electrical conductivity and quite enhanced surface area, (including conducting polymers (poly (cathechol)), Cu2O–carbon dots and green synthesized gold nanoparticles) for detecting acute carcinoembryonic antigen. At current work, the electropolymerization was offered instead of enzyme-catalyzed polymerization of poly (catechol). <b...
متن کاملAdjunct to the diagnostic distinction between adenocarcinomas of the ovary and the colon utilizing a monoclonal antibody (COL-4) with restricted carcinoembryonic antigen reactivity.
Malignant ovarian tumors may represent either primary ovarian cancers or metastatic lesions (from patients with demonstrated primary cancers at other body sites) whose distinction may be difficult using clinical, surgical, and pathological criteria. Monoclonal antibody (MAb) COL-4, reactive with carcinoembryonic antigen, has previously been shown to react preferentially with adenocarcinomas of ...
متن کاملCAR-3, a Monoclonal Antibody-defined Antigen Expressed on Human Carcinomas1
Several monoclonal antibodies were raised against the human epidermoid carcinoma line A 431. The antibody produced by clone AR-3, when tested in enzyme-linked immunosorbent as say, was found to react with the cell line used as immunogen, the human gastric carcinoma line KATO III, the colon carcinoma line HT29, and the ovarian carcinoma line SW626. This monoclo nal antibody was found unreactive ...
متن کاملPlacental alkaline phosphatase and cancer antigen 125 in sera of patients with benign and malignant diseases.
Human placental alkaline phosphatase (hPLAP; EC 3.1.3.1), cancer antigen 125 (CA 125), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) were determined in sera of patients with malignant and nonmalignant disorders. For CA 125 we used two different commercial assay systems, based on the same monoclonal antibody. hPLAP had the same sensitivity (20%) as CA 125 for detecting non-ovarian neoplasia, whereas that o...
