title: [Immunohistologic study of intestinal antigen beta-2-MA in gastric tumors].
abstract: Immunologic techniques were used to examine localization of the intestinal antigen beta-2-MA in 87 cases of malignant gastric tumors and 25 cases of non-neoplastic diseases of the stomach. The antigen was identified in 46.4% of gastric carcinomas. The presence of the antigen was not found to be related to a histological type of cancer. The beta-2-MA antigen was detected in the areas of intestinal metaplasia alone in 48% of the cases and in combination with malignant tumors in 50.9%. The antigen was found to be more common in the mucosa adjacent to those of diffuse cancer than in the mucosa located around cancer of intestinal type (p less than 0.01). beta-2-MA is one of the antigens showing intestine-differentiated cells in a number of gastric tumors and may be useful for immunological studies of gastric neoplastic types.
