title: A mouse IgG1 monoclonal antibody specific for N-glycolyl GM3 ganglioside recognized breast and melanoma tumors.
abstract: 14F7 murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) is an IgG1 immunoglobulin that is generated by immunizing Balb/c mice with GM3(NeuGc) ganglioside hydrophobically conjugated with human very-low-density lipoproteins and in the presence of Freund's adjuvants. 14F7 MAb binds specifically to GM3(NeuGc), whereas neither N-glycolyl or N-acetyl gangliosides, nor a sulfated glycolipid, are recognized as assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or immunostaining on thin layer chromatograms. Immunohistochemical studies in fresh tumor tissues showed that 14F7 MAb strongly recognized in antigen expressed in human breast and melanoma tumors.
