[Monoclonal antibodies directed against breast cancer associated antigens]

Two mouse hybridomas, producing the monoclonal antibodies 7B10 and 1BE12 which react with membrane antigens of a metastatic human breast tumor cell line were selected. One of them, 7B10, is directed against a mammary gland antigenic determinant and selectively stain mammary carcinoma on histologic sections after fixation and paraffin embedding.
