CaMBr1 is a tissue-specific and tumor-associated saccharidic epitope, defined by mAb MBr1 (Ab1), expressed on glycoconjugates of the human mammary carcinoma cell line MCF-7 and of normal and neoplastic mammary epithelial cells. An anti-anti-idiotypic monoclonal Ab3, 2G-3, identifying a human breast tumor associated antigen, was raised by using as immunogen a mouse anti-idiotypic monoclonal Ab2, A3B10, which behaves as the internal image of CaMBr1. mAb 2G-3, as well as MBr1, defines a saccharidic epitope on glycoconjugates extracted from MCF-7 cells and shows MBr1-like reactivity on normal and neoplastic-tissues. Experimental evidence, however, suggests that the fine immunoreactivity of the two antibodies is not identical, because MBr1 has a preferential reactivity with glycolipids and 2G-3 with glycoproteins. We suggest that a possible biologic explanation for our findings could reside in the nature of the immunogens used to raise the two mAb (glycolipid vs protein "internal image").

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
D007130 Immunoglobulin Idiotypes Unique genetically-controlled determinants present on ANTIBODIES whose specificity is limited to a single group of proteins (e.g., another antibody molecule or an individual myeloma protein). The idiotype appears to represent the antigenicity of the antigen-binding site of the antibody and to be genetically codetermined with it. The idiotypic determinants have been precisely located to the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGION of both immunoglobin polypeptide chains.

D002474 Cell-Free System A fractionated cell extract that maintains a biological function. A subcellular fraction isolated by ultracentrifugation or other separation techniques must first be isolated so that a process can be studied free from all of the complex side reactions that occur in a cell. The cell-free system is therefore widely used in cell biology.
