摘要:: Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) can be used to detect, image and treat cancers. This study aimed to characterise the binding of BLCA-38 MAbs to human prostate cancer cell lines, human prostate cancer biopsy samples and normal tissues to enable future targeted studies.,BLCA-38 antigen expression on cancer lines was determined by flow cytometry; that on patient specimens from normal tissues and cancers was tested by immunohistochemistry using fresh frozen tissues or paraffin-embedded tissues that had undergone antigen retrieval.,Cell surface BLCA-38 antigen expression was seen on DU-145, PC-3, PC-3 M and PC-3 M-MM2 prostate cancer lines, but LNCaP, MDA PCa 2a or MDA PCa 2b lines were negative. Other human lines, including 8/12 bladder cancer and A431 vulval epidermoid cells, but not breast cancer lines, expressed BLCA-38 antigen. Staining occurred in glandular epithelial cells in the majority of frozen, and paraffin-embedded prostate cancer tissues and was occasionally seen in prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN). No staining was observed in normal cadaver tissues or in benign areas from various other cancer tissues.,The BLCA-38 antibody binds to the majority of human prostate cancers but not to normal cells, and has potential for targeting novel therapies in patients with this disease.
