A Study on Immunohistochemical Localization of Anti-human Osteosarcoma Monoclonal Antibodies in Osteogenic Sarcoma Tissues / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Immunohistochemical localization of many sorts of tumor tissues from paraffin sections was studied using the ABC method with the monoclonal antibody secreted by the established two anti-osteosarcoma cell lines. It showed that the OS-McAb1 and OS-McAb2 had a negative reaction on the tested benign tumors and malignant tumors of epithelial tissue. Of the tested malignant tumors of mesenchyma, the antibodies had a positive reaction on some osteogenic sarcoma. They did not cross-react with various normal adult or fetal tissues, indicating that the OS-McAbs had a rather high specificity. They had a certain practical value in the immunopathologic diagnosis of malignant osteogenic tumors.
