ELISA-Based Quantification of p105 (c- erbB-2, HER2/neu) in Serum of Ovarian Carcinoma

Abstract: The most important prognostic parameters for gynecologic malignancies are tumor stage, residual tumor after surgical treatment, histological subtype, and degree of malignancy (1-2). However, these factors present an incomplete picture of the tumor biology. Therefore, investigation of other prognostic factors is of special clinical relevance, particularly in view of the unexpectedly progressive course of the disease and frequent relapses in some cases.

“…Amplification of Her2/neu has been found in several human cancers, including ovarian carcinoma. In ovarian cancer, 9% to 38% of patients have increased levels of p105, the shed extracellular domain of the HER-2/neu protein (493)(494)(495). According to one report, measurement of Her2/neu alone or in combination with CA125 is not useful for differentiating benign from malignant ovarian tumors (495 ).…”

“…29 Conventional methods of p105 (ECD) quantitation are well described and usually involve the technique of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). [30][31][32][33][34] The use of SPR spectroscopy for detection and quantification of a particular bioanalyte is accomplished through signal transduction associated with antibody-antigen, Ab-Ag, pairing. For our work, this requires a suitable biosensor that incorporates a receptor antibody capable of capturing either the p185 HER-2 or the p105 HER-2 ligand antigen.…”
