pubmed:abstractText
A hybridoma cell line secreting an IgM monoclonal antibody (MAb) was produced after immunizing a mouse with RT4 cells and a crude suspension of human bladder carcinoma cells (WHO grades II and III TCC). This MAb reacted with RT4 target cells derived from a human transitional bladder cancer but failed to react with a majority of non-bladder cancer cell lines. Immunohistological studies indicate that this MAb reacts inconstantly with normal bladder: in positive cases only a few superficial cells (5% to 10% umbrella cells) are stained but not intermediate or basal cells of the urothelium. This MAb was evaluated on 118 tumors: it reacted with tumor tissue in a majority of grade I (79.5%) and grade II papillary TCC (77.3%), less with grade III papillary TCC (45%) and very rarely with invasive non-papillary TCC (14%). In cases of flat lesions a strong reactivity of superficial, intermediate and/or basal layer cells was observed in 50% of moderate and severe dysplasia and in all cell layers of carcinomas in situ (CIS)(9/9).
