- The chance of cure and choice of therapy for squamous carcinomas of the head and neck depend largely on the extent of disease, as assessed clinically by inspection,palpation and radiography. Since treatment failures are in part due to clinically undetected metastasis at the time of treatment, there is a need for more specific methods of tumor detection. Attempts to develop antibodies recognizing tumor-associated antigens have, in the case of carcinomas, resulted in the isolation of a large number of antibodies reactive with high-molecular-weight glycoproteins. Originally raised against the human mammary carcinoma cell line, react with a carcinoma-associated antigen in both adenocarcinomas and squamous cell carcinomas of different origins. Immunohistochemically, the mAbs exhibited reactivity with 42 out of 43 squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. Normal squamous epithelia are also reactive with the antibodies in the basal and suprabasal cell layer. Applications: Suitable for use in RIA, Immunofluorescence, Flow Cytometry, ELISA, Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry, Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Hybridoma: Sp2/0 myeloma cells with spleen cells from Balb/c mice. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months.
