title: [Preparation and characterization of human monoclonal antibody to breast carcinoma].
abstract: With fusion of human heteromyeloma cells SHM-D33 and B lymphocytes obtained from axillary lymph nodes of a patient suffering from breast carcinoma, one hybridoma cell line which secretes human monoclonal antibody CM-1 to breast carcinoma was established. The hybridoma cells have been secreting human IgM (lambda light chain) stably for over 5 years. The CM-1 concentration of the supernatant of cell culture is 38.5 micrograms per ml and is the ascites that of 2 mg per ml. The reactivity of CM-1 to normal human tissues and several kinds of tumors was examined with immunohistochemical staining. The results showed that the CM-1 reacted strongly to breast carcinoma and weakly to myxoadenocarcinoma of the esophagus. CM-1 did not react to normal tissues or other kinds of tumors, such as breast fibroadenoma, medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, etc. After injection of 131I-CM-1 into abdominal cavity of the mice bearing breast carcinoma, the image of xenografted carcinoma can be obviously distinguished from the background of normal tissues. The inhibitory effect on growth of breast cancer xenograft in nude mice was 95% for CM-1-PYM conjugate and 58% for free drug. The above results showed that the hybridom cell line CM-1 stably secreting antibody reacted specificaly with breast carcinoma and it might be useful as a drug carrier in therapy of patients with breast carcinoma.
