  • Title: Detection of antigens associated with lung carcinoma in sera by monoclonal antibodies WLA-2C4 and CL-3.
    Author: Wang DS, Huang W, Yuan M, Shi JQ.
    Journal: Chin Med J (Engl); 1992 Nov; 105(11):905-8. PubMed ID: 1304459.
    Abstract:
    The levels of tumor-associated antigens (TAAS) corresponded to monoclonal antibodies WLA-2C4 and CL-3 in sera of 57 lung cancer patients, 100 healthy adults and 50 non-tumor disease patients were assayed with SABC-ELISA of immunobinding inhibition test. The threshold values of WLA-2C4 and CL-3 (RBI) were 12% and 36%, respectively. The positive results of lung carcinomas with at least one of the two TAAS were as follows: squamous cell carcinoma 89%; adenocarcinoma 83%; small cell carcinoma 67% and their mean positive rate was 79%. Whereas the positive rate in healthy adults and non-tumor disease patients was only 6%. These results indicate that using monoclonal antibodies WLA-2C4 and CL-3 simultaneously may be helpful to the serological diagnosis of lung carcinoma.
