Mouse myeloma cells were fused with spleen cells from mice that had been immunized with a human ependymoma derived cell line, KMS II. Hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were screened and cloned. Specificity of the antibody was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and/or indirect immunofluorescence assay. One of the MAbs, designated Ep-C4 (subclass = IgG1), reacted with two cell lines derived from ependymoma but did not react with 17 cell lines derived from other types of brain tumor nor with 4 neuroblastoma cell lines or 19 cell lines derived from carcinoma, hematopoietic tumors and amnion. Indirect immunofluorescence and immuno-electron microscopy studies revealed that the antigen recognized by MAb Ep-C4 was located on cell surface membrane. The membrane antigen of KMS II cells, immunoprecipitated by MAb Ep-C4, was a protein of 81,000 dalton. The reactivity of MAb Ep-C4 was further examined using immunofluorescence and/or immunoperoxidase methods and frozen sections and short-term cultures of various types of brain tumors. No cross-reactivity with normal adult or fetal brain tissues was detected by absorption assay and immunoperoxidase staining. Our results suggest that the antigen defined by MAb Ep-C4 is specific for ependymoma cells, and different from the antigens of glioma cells or other neuroectodermal-derived cells previously described.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D004806 Ependymoma Glioma derived from EPENDYMOGLIAL CELLS that tend to present as malignant intracranial tumors in children and as benign intraspinal neoplasms in adults. It may arise from any level of the ventricular system or central canal of the spinal cord. Intracranial ependymomas most frequently originate in the FOURTH VENTRICLE and histologically are densely cellular tumors which may contain ependymal tubules and perivascular pseudorosettes. Spinal ependymomas are usually benign papillary or myxopapillary tumors.
