The present study shows the clinical values of SCC-Antigen, a subfraction of TA-4, for the management of squamous cell carcinoma. Serum SCC-Antigen levels of 2.0 ng/ml was designated as the cut-off value. Serum antigen levels were positive in 53.5% of cervical squamous cell carcinoma, and the changes in serum antigen levels reflected the disease progress. The antigen was also positive in cancer of vagina, vulva, lung or esophagus. To detect the early cervical cancer, flow cytometric analysis of the exfoliative cells was conducted, using anti-TA-4 serum, which was found to be particularly useful for the detection of early disease. It was concluded that the use of SCC-Antigen would be promising in clinical care.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D002294 Carcinoma, Squamous Cell A carcinoma derived from stratified SQUAMOUS EPITHELIAL CELLS. It may also occur in sites where glandular or columnar epithelium is normally present.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
