A monoclonal antibody-enzyme immunoassay for serum carcinoembryonic antigen with increased specificity for carcinomas.

Abstract: A two-site monoclonal antibody-enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) for carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was developed that uses two monoclonal anti-CEA antibodies, which recognize two different epitopes in the peptide moiety of CEA. The assay was sensitive to 0.5 pug/liter and had a measuring range of 0.5-200 pig of CEA per liter. It was highly specific inasmuch as none of three known CEA-related substances, "nonspecific crossreacting antigens 1 and 2" (NCA-1 and NCA-2) and biliary glycoprotein I (BGP I), reacted in the a… Show more

“…Antibodies, bought or self-established, should prior to utilization be properly examined with respect to sensitivity and specificity for the application planned. The anti-CEA total antibody has been extensively investigated in collaborative epitope screening projects [97,229], and has been subject to studies of differential CEA antibody specificity, and cross-reactivity with other antigens like NCA, and NCA-2 has also been extensively examined [115,230,231]. The T84.66 antibody was shown to be specific for full-length CEA, not recognizing the shorter, C-terminally truncated versions [229].…”

“…NCA-2 and CEA are identical in the amino terminal sequence [112] and both are highly glycosylated, but they differ in glycosylation patterns [113,114] which might influence conformational stability and protease resistance [113,114]. Studies on the cross reactivity of NCA-2 has resulted in improved CEA assays that do not recognize NCA-2 [115] but still little is known about the specificity of NCA-2 antibodies in different experimental settings, and it has as far as we know not been explored for clinical associations in a large patient cohort [116][117][118]. [119,120].…”

“…Application of the monoclonal antibody technique to the quantitative measurement of serum markers in patients with several diseases has been described (Wands et al, 1982;Hedin et al, 1983). Bellet et al (1984) recently reported the specific radioimmunoassay method for hepatocellular carcinoma with use of monoclonal anti-AFP antibodies which were supposed to recognize certain unique epitopes of AFP.…”

“…Currently, most of the reported methods for the protein-based biomarkers detection have employed colorimetric enzyme immunoassays, 13 electrochemical immunoassays, 14 radioimmunoassays, 15 or fluoroimmunoassays. 16 However, these assays have technical limitations, including sample preparation complexity and specific detection instrumentation requirements.…”
