Immunohistochemical analysis of pulmonary and pleural neoplasms using a monoclonal antibody (47D10) which reacts with nonspecific cross-reacting antigen.

A series of 251 human pulmonary carcinomas were analyzed immunohistochemically for the antigens recognized by a new monoclonal antibody (MAb) 47D10. These antigens are part of a complex family of substances similar to, yet distinct from carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and are termed 'nonspecific cross-reacting antigens' (NCAs). The NCA epitope recognized by the MAb 47D10 is expressed on the cell surface and has previously been shown to be distinct from epitopes detected by several anti-CEA MAbs, as well as by MAbs 19-9 and Du-PAN-2. The NCA epitope recognized by MAb 47D10 is well preserved in formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues. Using immunohistochemistry, this epitope has been shown to have a limited biodistribution in normal tissues, and to be expressed by adenocarcinomas arising in the pancreas, colon, breast, ovary, prostate and lung. The frequency and pattern of NCA expression in human pulmonary neoplasms was found to correlate with the known distribution of CEA: and was often present in the non-small-cell carcinomas. In addition, the expression of CEA relative to NCA was evaluated in a select group of non-small-cell carcinoma cases using several anti-CEA MAbs, to directly compare the expression of CEA to NCA. In general, the NCA reaction pattern is more intense and expressed on more cells within the tumors than that of CEA expression.
