title: Expression and alterations of CD66 antigen by interferon-gamma in human breast carcinoma cell lines.
abstract: Monoclonal antibodies of the CD66/67 panel from the 5th Workshop on Leukocyte Antigens bound (as determined by flow cytometry) to the cell surface of human breast carcinoma cell lines BT-20 and MDA-MB-468. The molecular weight of antigenic polypeptides recognized by the CD66 monoclonal antibody F34-187 differed between the two examined breast carcinoma lines as follows: 50kDa, 95 kDa and 130 kDa polypeptides were expressed on both BT-20 and MCF-7 cell lines, while the major 160-180 kDa polypeptide was found only in MDA-MB-468 cells. IFN-gamma, all-trans retinoic acid and phorbol ester (TPA) induced up-regulation of CD66 antigen(s) recognized by the monoclonal antibody F34-187 (as determined by flow cytometry). Different alterations of CD66 antigenic polypeptides recognized by F34-187 monoclonal antibody, induced by interferon-gamma and indentified by immunoblotting, were found on BT-20, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 breast carcinoma cell lines.
