Radioimmunometric assay for a monoclonal antibody-defined tumor marker, CA 19-9.

Abstract: We describe a solid-phase radioimmunometric sandwich assay for a new tumor marker defined by a monoclonal antibody (19-9). This antibody reacts with a carbohydrate antigenic determinant (CA 19-9) found at low concentrations in sera from healthy individuals but frequently increased in sera from patients with adenocarcinomas. The assay is sensitive and simple to perform. It requires duplicate 100-microL samples and may be performed in 6 h. The concentration of CA 19-9 in samples is determined by reference to a s… Show more

“…We ascertained in our prospective study a sensitivity of 92% for this monoganglioside antigen for pancreatic carcinoma, a specificity of 85%, and a total accuracy of 82%. In accordance with the existing findings and the results of Del Villano et al" and Klapdor et al,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] who confirmed this high sensitivity, measurement of CA 19-9 value is superior to all other tumor markers in pancreatic carcinoma patients.…”

“…carcinomas and in approximately 70% of breast carcinomas Serum radioimmunoassays for the detection of tumor associated antigens (TAAs) have been used to monitor the course of disease of several carcinomas ( 1-7). The more widely used assays are: carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) for colorectal cancer (1,2), CA 15-3 for breast cancer (5,6), CA 125 (measuring OC-125) for ovarian cancer (3), CA 19-9 (measuring GICA) for colorectal and pancreatic cancer (4), and DuPAN-2 for pancreatic cancer (7). While each of these assays has its advantages and disadvantages, none is comprehensive in predicting or determining the disease status in all patients of a given tumor type.…”

“…The sLe a determinant is known to be secreted from cancer cells into the general circulation, and is sometimes utilized as a serum tumor marker under the name of CA 19-9 [9,17,18], the level of sLe a in serum is dependent on the Lewis blood subtype of patients [19]. Significantly, this sLe a level is elevated in a variety of carcinomas, particularly those of the pancreas, stomach, and colon, and the association of high levels of serum sLe a with tumor invasion is common in cancer patients [20][21][22][23]. The detection of sLe a in pre-and postoperative serum is thus a predictor of increased cancer mortality [24].…”
