Title: Identification of an antigen from normal human tissue that crossreacts with the carcinoembryonic antigen. Author: von Kleist S, Chavanel G, Burtin P. Journal: Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A; 1972 Sep; 69(9):2492-4. PubMed ID: 4115954. Abstract: A glycoprotein present in normal human tissue is characterized that is neither organ- nor tumor-specific (nonspecific crossreacting antigen) and that crossreacts (by the Ouchterlony double-diffusion technique) with the carcinoembryonic antigen. This immunological relationship indicates common determinants on the molecules of both antigens. We demonstrate that the nonspecific crossreacting antigen is not a fragment of the carcinoembryonic antigen molecule.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
