    Journal: Gan No Rinsho; 1988 Jul; 34(8):965-8. PubMed ID: 2457119.
    Abstract:
    Using an histochemical technique, the expression of a tumor-associated antigen, recognized by the monoclonal antibody KM-93, has been investigated in 39 cases of human lung cancer. The overall positive rate was found to be 87.2%, this breaking down to 90.9%, 80.0%, and in adenocarcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, and large cell carcinomas, respectively. In adenocarcinomas, most of the tumor cells stained strongly, while in squamous cell carcinomas, differentiated cells tend to react with the antibody. Even, in tumors judged to be negative, a small fraction of stained cells also was noted. These results suggest the clinical usefulness of this antibody.
