Monoclonal antibodies against human solid tumors.

P Burtin, J Nardelli

    Bulletin Du Cancer
    |January 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers developed monoclonal antibodies for human solid tumors, identifying new antigens. While some are organ-specific, others appear tumor-associated, though caution is advised due to cross-reactivity with normal cells.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Oncology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are crucial tools in cancer research.
    • Generating specific mAbs against human solid tumors presents challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the generation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against human solid tumors.
    • To discuss the identification and nature of novel tumor-associated antigens.

    Main Methods:

    • Immunization of animals with tumor cell lines or membrane preparations.
    • Specificity testing of mAbs against lymphocytes and blood group antigens.
    • Characterization of identified antigens for tissue expression patterns.

    Main Results:

    • Several new antigens have been identified using monoclonal antibodies.
    • Some antigens are organ-specific, found in both tumor and normal tissues.
    • Other antigens appear tumor-associated but may be present on normal cells, exhibiting oncofetal patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • Monoclonal antibodies have advanced the identification of tumor antigens.
    • Specificity confirmation is critical to avoid cross-reactivity.
    • Human-mouse hybridomas offer potential for patient-derived antibodies but face stability challenges.
