Characteristics of auto-antibodies for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) detected in sera from 3 cancer patients (2 colorectal and 1 breast cancer) were examined. The antibodies belonged to polyclonal immunoglobulin G (IgG). The binding of auto-antibodies with the labeled CEA was inhibited by not only the unlabeled CEA but also NCA-2 (feces and meconium). However, no binding with NCA was observed. Among these auto-antibodies the antibody directed against blood group Lewis determinants which are known to be present in many purified CEA preparations was not found. Previously we had suggested that CEA, NCA-2 and NCA may contain immune determinant in common with alpha 1-acid glycoprotein (AG). These auto-antibodies showed significantly enhanced reactivity for the labeled CEA preparation after purification by anti-AG affinity chromatography in spite of no immunological reaction with AG. These results suggest that auto-antibodies are raised against the common antigenic determinants of both CEA and NCA-2 which do not exist in NCA. These antibodies might be directed to common amino acid sequence shared by CEA and NCA-2, though not excluding the carbohydrate moiety. We surveyed about 500,000 cancer patients but could find only 3 patients who showed a difference in the values of CEA by the indirect and direct method. Thus, the existence of this type auto-antibody to CEA in cancer patients is a rare phenomenon.
