title: Binding of [3H] monohydroxytamoxifen in ovarian carcinoma.
abstract: A monoclonal antibody (D-547) against human breast cancer oestrogen receptor was used to demonstrate that the oestrogen receptor in ovarian epithelial carcinomata binds [3H]monohydroxytamoxifen. This binding was observed in sedimentation velocity analyses of both cytosol and nuclear compartments. Binding of [3H]monohydroxytamoxifen to the antibody-recognized moiety could be inhibited by diethylstilboestrol or oestradiol, but not by androgen, progestin or corticoid, indicating oestrogen specificity for the binding site. The sedimentation coefficient of the antibody-recognized [3H]monohydroxytamoxifen binding moiety was similar to that when 16 alpha-[125I]iodo-oestradiol was used as the ligand.
