Monoclonal antibodies reactive with small cell carcinoma of the lung.

Murine monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) reactive with antigens associated with small cell carcinoma of the lung (SCCL) were prepared and partially characterized. Four were selected for further study on the basis of their lack of reactivity with normal leukocytes and erythrocytes. These MoAb, designated SCCL-41, SCCL-114, SCCL-124, and SCCL-175, are all IgM immunoglobulins. The binding of these MoAb to patient-derived SCCL tumor cells, SCCL cell lines, and non-SCCL cell lines was studied by indirect immunofluorescence and flow cytometry. Considerable heterogeneity in the expression of these cell surface antigens was noted among both the patient-derived tumor cells and the SCCL cell lines. One of the MoAb, SCCL-175, reacted with 7 of 7 patient-derived tumor cell samples and 9 of 10 SCCL cell lines. None of the antigens defined by these MoAb were expressed on non-SCCL lung tumor cell lines. SCCL-175 reacted with cells from both a choriocarcinoma and a colon carcinoma cell line, whereas the other 3 MoAb were unreactive with these and several other tumor cell lines. These MoAb may be useful in the diagnosis and subclassification of SCCL tumors.[1]
