The immune response of 42 gastrointestinal and ovarian cancer patients at 1 month after exposure to murine monoclonal antibodies (B72.3 and CC49) reactive with the tumor-associated antigen TAG-72 was studied. The incidence of human anti-mouse antibody response was 89% to B72.3 and 70% to CC49. To evaluate the antiidiotypic immune response, we developed a serological assay based on affinity chromatography to remove the interference due to the presence of TAG-72, antiisotypic, and antiallotypic immunoglobulins in the serum. Seventy-eight percent of patients who received B72.3 developed an antiidiotypic response; in 33% of the patients, this was the only immune response detected. The antiidiotypic immune response after treatment with CC49 was present in 54% of the patients. Twelve percent of the patients who received CC49 developed an antiidiotypic response in the absence of antiisotypic or antiallotypic immune response. The lower immunogenicity of the variable region of CC49 is encouraging when considering the use of chimeric or humanized antibodies derived from the murine monoclonal antibody CC49 in clinical studies.

D007132 Immunoglobulin Isotypes The classes of immunoglobulins found in any species of animal. In man there are nine classes that migrate in five different groups in electrophoresis; they each consist of two light and two heavy protein chains, and each group has distinguishing structural and functional properties.

D010051 Ovarian Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the OVARY. These neoplasms can be benign or malignant. They are classified according to the tissue of origin, such as the surface EPITHELIUM, the stromal endocrine cells, and the totipotent GERM CELLS.

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
D012116 Resins, Plant Flammable, amorphous, vegetable products of secretion or disintegration, usually formed in special cavities of plants. They are generally insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, ether, or volatile oils. They are fusible and have a conchoidal fracture. They are the oxidation or polymerization products of the terpenes, and are mixtures of aromatic acids and esters. Most are soft and sticky, but harden after exposure to cold.

D002277 Carcinoma A malignant neoplasm made up of epithelial cells tending to infiltrate the surrounding tissues and give rise to metastases. It is a histological type of neoplasm and not a synonym for "cancer."

D002846 Chromatography, Affinity A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry.
