Application of a subcellular membrane-antibody binding assay for the analysis of antigen expression in human tumours.
A micro-radioisotopic antiglobulin assay has been employed to determine the binding of monoclonal antibodies to subcellular membranes adsorbed to the wells of Terasaki Microtest Plates. A panel of 15 monoclonal antibodies was tested against 22 membrane preparations isolated from normal and malignant colo-rectal, breast and lung tissues. The assay provided an objective evaluation of antibody reactivity permitting the expression of major antigens in samples from individual surgical specimens to be defined.
