Cell surface antigens of human trophoblast and choriocarcinoma defined by monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract：

:Six distinct cell surface antigens of human trophoblast and choriocarcinoma were defined with MAbs. The distribution of the antigens was determined by MHA assays on 150 tumor cell lines and normal cell cultures and by immunofluorescence tests with a wide range of normal adult and fetal tissues and a tumor panel. Antigen LK26 is expressed on all cultured choriocarcinoma, teratocarcinoma and renal cancer lines but is absent from most cell lines derived from other tumor types and from cultures of normal kidney epithelium and fibroblasts. LK26 expression in normal tissues is restricted to the trophoblast. No other adult or fetal tissue was found to express the antigen, but choriocarcinoma and teratocarcinoma tissues were LK26+. SV19 is expressed on cultured choriocarcinomas and teratocarcinomas and on subsets of breast and colon cancer lines, but not on 120 additional cultures tested. In tissues, SV19 is detected in normal placenta, mammary gland and colon epithelium as well as in tumors of breast, colon and lung. Two antibodies, AbSV63 and AbK8, react with PLAP and AbSV63 also reacts with the intestinal form of the enzyme. AbLK24 defines a heat-stable determinant present on choriocarcinoma and breast cancer cell lines but absent from most other cultured cells. It is expressed on a small range of normal and malignant epithelial tissues, including normal trophoblast, normal breast epithelium and urothelium and tumors derived from these tissues. One antigen, K66, showed a wide distribution on cultured epithelial cells but was not found in any normal or malignant tissue. Finally, S4, a previously described marker of normal and malignant kidney epithelial cells, was also expressed on the choriocarcinoma cell lines. Four of the antigens are glycoproteins that could be immunoprecipitated from radiolabelled extracts of choriocarcinoma cells: LK26 (Mr 35,000), SV19 (Mr 40,000), PLAP (Mr 68,000) and S4 (Mr 160,000). The highly restricted distribution of LK26, SV19, S4, and PLAP in normal tissues and their expression in tumors make these antigens potential diagnostic markers of gestational choriocarcinoma and germ-cell tumors and, possibly, targets for immunotherapy.
