title: Hanganutziu-Deicher type-heterophile antigen-positive cells in human cancer tissues demonstrated by membrane immunofluorescence.
abstract: The possible expression of Hanganutziu-Deicher (H-D)-type heterophile antigen on the cell surface of several types of human cancer tissues was investigated by the membrane immunofluorescence test with anti-H-D serum. Anti-H-D serum of high titer was obtained from chickens immunized with H-D antigen-active glycosphingolipid, N-glycolylneuraminyl-lactosylceramide (equine hematoside). H-D antigen was demonstrated in 3 to 6 gastric cancer tissues, 2 of 3 lung cancer tissues, and 2 of 4 breast tissues examined, but not in 5 colorectal cancer tissues examined.
