Two newly established murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), OVS1 and OVS2, to human ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma were further characterized for diagnostic efficacy. The specific SA-1 antigen, purified from the tumor extract was identified as a glycoprotein of 29 kDa. A double determinant
The serum levels of placental alkaline phosphatase were determined with a radioimmunoassay using a polyclonal antibody on 1236 samples from 414 patients with ovarian cancer. The frequencies of elevated enzyme levels for patients with or without evidence of disease were 17.7 and 10.9%, respectively.
We established seven hybridomas secreting murine IgG monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP). The seven hybridomas were designated (1) 7C6, (2) 6G10, (3) 5B9, (4) 6D5, (5) 6B5, (6) 11G6 and (7) 3E10, respectively. The characteristics of these hybridomas were evaluated
A monoclonal antibody, designated NDOG2, has been shown to react with placental alkaline phosphatase. It does not bind to liver, kidney, bone, or intestinal alkaline phosphatase enzymes and has shown a positive reaction with all of over 50 placentae. Immunohistological studies have shown (a) a
We describe a case of biliary cystadenocarcinoma of the liver in a 72 year-old woman presented to our hospital with abdominal fullness. Laboratory data showed an elevation of alkaline phosphatase and a decreased excretion of Indocyanine green (ICG). CT revealed a cystic tumor with papillary
Metastatic carcinomas are the largest group of malignant tumors of the liver. But parenchymal liver metastasis from cystic ovarian adenocarcinoma is very rare. We report a case in which the resection of metastatic liver neoplasm from ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma was done 7 yr after initial
Serum placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) levels in patients with gynecological tumors were measured by two kinds of enzyme-antigen immunoassay kits provided by Innogenetics (PLAP-I) and Sangtec Medical (PLAP-S), and the combination assays for PLAP with other tumor markers were studied. None of
A monoclonal antibody (NDOG2) against placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) in ovarian cancer has been used in three ways by the Bristol University Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology. First, in an indirect immunoperoxidase technique, NDOG2 demonstrated positive standing in 64% of 56 ovarian
We report two cases of primary carcinoma of the ovary in which 'ciliated' adenocarcinoma cells were found in the ascitic fluid. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that these were not true cilia but rather a prolific growth of abnormal microvilli. The cytological findings were compared with
Cancer of the ovary is the commonest cause of death from gynaecological neoplasms. As ovarian tumours are relatively inaccessible, there is a great need for methods to improve early diagnosis and to assist with the management of patients with this disease. In this presentation the state of the art
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) by neoplastic cells in serous ovarian cystadenocarcinoma in relation to proliferation as determined by mitotic activity and to FIGO stage.
METHODS
Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded archival
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) complexes were isolated from the ascitic fluids of patients with serous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovaries, and antiserum against the IgG complexes was raised in rabbits. The antibodies reacting with the tumor-associated antigens were purified after the rabbit antihuman IgG was
Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), placental alkaline phosphatase (ALP4), human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), human chorionic gonadotropin-beta-subunit (beta-HCG) and human placental lactogen (HPL) were simultaneously and serially determined in the sera of the patients with
Since embryonic genes are not generally active in normal adult subjects and because certain of these genes are activated in cancer leading to ectopic synthesis, it is the difference between the ectopic level and the normal adult concentrations of embryonic gene products which we seek in developing
BACKGROUND
Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver (UESL) is a rare malignant mesenchymal tumor that usually occurs in children and is rarely diagnosed in adults.
METHODS
Here, we describe the case of a 65-year-old woman who presented with a huge cystic lesion in the liver. Laboratory
