A human X human hybridoma, CLNH11, derived from a lymphocyte of a patient with cervical carcinoma, produces a human monoclonal antibody of gamma 1 and kappa isotypes (CLN-IgG). Immunoperoxidase staining showed that CLN-IgG reacted with frozen tissue sections of human malignant tumors (cervical carcinoma, gall bladder carcinoma, glioblastoma), but not with their normal counterparts. Enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay also demonstrated that CLN-IgG reacted with various human tumor cell lines, but not with non-tumorigenic cells such as some fibroblasts, peripheral blood lymphocytes and red blood cells. Indirect and direct immunofluorescence staining indicated that the tumor antigens recognized by CLN-IgG were located in restricted areas close to the cell surface and exposed on the outer surface of the cell membrane. A protein antigen of Mr 226,000 was purified to homogeneity by affinity chromatography with CLN-IgG from the plasma membrane fraction of A549 lung tumor cell line. The antigen consisted of alpha (Mr 60,000) and beta subunit (Mr 53,000) which were linked by disulfide bond(s) (TA60K/53K). The TA60K/53k antigens were expressed commonly in other tumor cell lines originated from histologically different tissues.

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.

D005455	Fluorescent Antibody Technique	Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D005910	Glioma	Benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes). Astrocytes may give rise to astrocytomas (ASTROCYTOMA) or glioblastoma multiforme (see GLIOBLASTOMA). Oligodendrocytes give rise to oligodendrogliomas (OLIGODENDROGLIOMA) and ependymocytes may undergo transformation to become EPENDYMOMA; CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS; or colloid cysts of the third ventricle.
