[Characterization of monoclonal antibody (BIU-H) directed against bladder cancer and its pathologic feature].
The characteristics of one of a group of monoclonal antibodies named BIU-H6 are reported. Using McAb BIU-H6, by ABC-immunohistochemical staining directed against 34 bladder cancers and 5 normal bladders. It was found that BIU-H6 does not react with normal bladder epithelial and adenocarcinoma of the bladder, but with transitional cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and CIS of the bladder. The staining characters were variant according to the different grade/stage of the cancer. The result shows that BIU-H6 antigen is a tumor associated antigen of poorly differentiated and invasive carcinoma of the bladder.
