Detection of a 45-kilodalton antigen overexpressed in a cisplatin-resistant human ovarian carcinoma cell line.
To characterize the membrane changes associated with cisplatin resistance, we raised monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against a cisplatin-resistant subline (OV1/DDP) derived from a human ovarian carcinoma cell line (OV1/p). An MAb, designated OCP02, was selected for its particularly high affinity for the resistant cell line. It bound 3.1-fold higher to OV1/DDP cells than to OV1/p cells and recognized an M(r) 45K antigen. This antigen appeared to be present in several normal and tumorous tissues. Its distribution in normal tissues was mainly detected in tissues involved in secretory processes, suggesting that this antigen could be related to a transport mechanism in normal cells as well as in drug-resistant cells.
