Claims
- 1. An antihuman pulmonary adenocarcinoma monoclonal antibody ALC-390 which is secreted by a hybridoma having the identifying characteristics of ECACC 87032601, belongs to the IgG class, and is reactive with membrane components of human pulmonary, adenocarcinoma cells and recognizes a surface protein within said membrane components as the antigen.
- 2. A method of detecting the presence of human pulmonary adenocarcinoma in a patient sample comprising;
- (a) subjecting a serum sample from the patient to an enzyme immunoassay with the monoclonal antibody of claim 1 and
- (b) examining the results for the presence of a positive reaction.
- 3. A diagnostic method of distinguishing human pulmonary adenocarcinoma cells from other cells including lung squamous cell carcinoma cells, lung large cell carcinoma cells, lung small cell carcinoma cells and normal human lung cells, said diagnostic method comprising the steps of:
- (a) subjecting a patient sample to an enzyme immunoassay with the monoclonal antibody of claim 1, and
- (b) assessing the degree of reactivity, if any, of the monoclonal antibody with the cells of the patient sample.
