Tumor-associated antigens in cervical cancer tissues and in sera from patients with cervical cancer or with head and neck cancer.

Hyperimmune New Zealand White rabbit sera prepared against partially purified tumor- associated antigens (TAA) of invasive cervical cancer tissues (CaCx's) were used to demonstrate TAA in CaCx's and circulating TAA (C-TAA) in sera from patients with cervical cancer or with head and neck cancer. Anti-CaCx serum adsorbed with pooled normal cervical tissue (NCx) antigen preparations and with lyophilized pooled normal human plasma gave precipitin in gel reactions with CaCx but not with NCx, which indicated the presence of TAA in CaCx. The adsorbed antisera reacted with sera from patients with cervical and head and neck cancers, which indicated the presence of C-TAA in such sera. False-positive reactions with control sera from normal humans or from patients with benign gynecologic diseases were much less frequently observed. Statistical analysis of data obtained by the testing of 96 coded serum samples from the National Cancer Institute-Mayo Clinic Serum Bank (Rochester, Minn.) revealed that the results were significant and that specificity was high but sensitivity of the assay was relatively low.[1]
