Three murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) reactive to different epitopes on CEA were selected according to their ability to bind to various human tissue sections. The most selective MAb, BW 431/31, bound to the majority of colon carcinomas but only faintly to normal colon mucosa. In addition to the tissues stained by MAb BW 431/31, MAb BW 250/183 reacted with granulocytes, colon mucosa and faintly with pancreatic ducts. The third MAb, BW 374/14, reacted with granulocytes, colon mucosa, strongly with pancreatic ducts and with alveolar and bronchial epithelium. The antigenic determinants recognized by the 3 MAbs in human tissue sections were resistant to formaldehyde fixation and paraffin embedding as well as to periodic acid oxidation and neuraminidase treatment. The last two treatments suggest that the epitopes are protein in nature. Using MAb affinity chromatography, 3 antigen preparations were isolated from a human colon carcinoma xenograft with an approximate molecular weight of 180 kd. These preparations were shown to bear the epitopes from each of the MAbs and from a polyclonal antiserum specific for purified CEA. Furthermore, the ability of MAb BW 431/31 to localize its antigenic determinant in vivo on a human colon carcinoma xenograft is evaluated and its possible application in the patient is suggested.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
