Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies against the Extracellular Domain of CA 125

Abstract: Carcinoma antigen 125 (CA 125) is overexpressed in ovarian cancer and antibodies against it are widely employed for diagnostic purposes. The rarity of CA 125 antigenic domains and its highly glycosylated structure, however, is a problem that may prevent immunized mice from developing a diversified population of anti-CA 125 antibodies. In this study a prime-boost strategy, which potentially could augment the humoral immune responses against rare and poorly immunogenic determinants, was used for immunization of … Show more

“…(12) Antigens from various sources were used previously for production of antibodies against CA-125 (OVCAR-3 cells, supernatants of OVCAR-3 cells, ascitic fluids). (13,14) In our preliminary studies, we immunized animals with OVCAR-3-derived protein purified by gel filtration, OVCAR-3 crude cell extracts, commercially available antigens of human origin, and recombinant CA-125 fragment.…”

“…To explain the phenomenon of low immunoactivity (Shojaejan et al, 2010), one would assume that aberrant glycosylation of cancer cell-expressed immunoglobulins may be the main reason. To further explain the discrepancy, efforts were made to determine the relative Immunoglobulin distributions of different classes or subclasses of cancer cell-expressed immunoglobulins which were compared with those found in normal human serum.…”
