A monoclonal antibody, designated OM-1, was raised against ovarian serous papillary cystadenocarcinoma (stage IV) cells. This antibody was found to react strongly with primary and metastatic ovarian serous cystadenocarcinomas and endometrioid carcinomas but the antigen detected was either absent or at very low levels in ovarian mucinous adenocarcinomas, clear cell carcinomas, benign serous and mucinous cystadenomas and Brenner tumours. The OM-1 antibody gave no detectable reaction with 93 other human tumours, including examples of breast and colon adenocarcinomas. In normal tissues the OM-1 antibody reacted with normal sebaceous gland cells, lung type II pneumocytes and placental syncytial trophoblasts. In the normal ovary OM-1 reactivity was confined to extremely weak staining of the surface epithelium. No reaction with any other ovarian cell type could be detected. No evidence of reaction with other normal cell populations present in 24 adult and seven foetal tissues was found. The antigen detected is compared with other ovarian tumour-associated antigens. The OM-1 antibody is likely to prove of value in the detection and diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma.
