Development of autologous specific reactivity to human neuroblastoma. 1986

K Kawai, and H Sakatoku, and T Matsuda, and K Kazuoka, and S Kubo, and H Kamiya, and M Sakurai

Antigenic analysis of neuroblastoma cells was performed by autologous typing and indirect immunofluorescent test combined with absorption tests. Serum of a patient with neuroblastoma before treatment showed weak reactivity with cultured autologous neuroblastoma cells, while serum obtained from the same patient 3 months after chemotherapy exhibited strong reactivity with the same indicator cells. This reactivity was absorbed with neither cultured autologous fibroblasts nor allogeneic tumor cells from seven neuroblastoma and two melanoma patients. In addition, cultured hematopoietic cells from two subjects, normal fetal and adult tissues also failed to remove the reactivity. This reactivity, however, was completely removed by the absorption with the cultured autologous neuroblastoma cells and the homogenate, suggesting that these neuroblastoma cells may express tumor specific antigen(s), located on neither normal cells in any stage of the development nor other malignant cells, although the cells and tissues we tested may not be adequate to confirm this.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009447 Neuroblastoma A common neoplasm of early childhood arising from neural crest cells in the sympathetic nervous system, and characterized by diverse clinical behavior, ranging from spontaneous remission to rapid metastatic progression and death. This tumor is the most common intraabdominal malignancy of childhood, but it may also arise from thorax, neck, or rarely occur in the central nervous system. Histologic features include uniform round cells with hyperchromatic nuclei arranged in nests and separated by fibrovascular septa. Neuroblastomas may be associated with the opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome.

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.
