Abstract
Four monoclonal antibodies are found which selectively identify prostate cancer. These monoclonals are therefore useful in diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.

Description
We report here on the initial analysis and distribution of four mAbs reactive with prostate cancer.
Materials and Methods
Three mAbs -- P25.15 (IgG.sub.1), P25.48 (IgG.sub.3) and P25.91 (IgG.sub.2a) -- were derived from a fusion using fresh prostate cancer (P251) as the immunogen. The mouse splenocytes were fused with the NS-1 mouse myeloma using standard Kohler-Milstein techniques. The initial screening of hybrid supernatants were performed on frozen sections of the tumor P251 using indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) by methods known in the art. Positive clones were subcloned three times by limiting dilution. Further analysis on different prostatic tissues was performed by IIF and/or indirect immunoperoxidase (IIP) staining of frozen tissue sections using the avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase system (Vector Laboratories). The analysis on non-prostatic tissues were performed exclusively by IIP.
S27 (IgG.sub.1) is a well-characterized mAb initially developed in our laboratory against renal cancer that has been shown to react with prostate (Finstad et al. Proc. Nat'l. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 1985; 82:2955). It has been shown to recognize adenosine deaminase-binding protein (gp120). SK-RC-7 is the immunogen cell line leading to mAb S27. TURP-27 (IgG.sub.3) developed by Wright et al (Cancer Res. 1986; 46:367) detects an antigen expressed by benign and malignant prostatic epithelium but not by most normal tissues. Hybridoma culture supernatants of S27 and TURP-27 were used for IIF and IIP analysis as described above.
S27 has been deposited at the Sloan-Kettering Institute, 1275 York Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10021 and at the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), 12301 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, Md. 20852 on Nov. 15, 1983, has the ATCC designation HB 8428 and is a deposit under the Budapest Treaty.
P25.48, P25.91 and P25.15 are on deposit at Sloan-Kettering and at the ATCC under the designations below.
(a) the hybridoma cell line designated P25.15 was deposited under American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) Accession No. HB9140 on July 3, 1986;
(b) the hybridoma cell line designated P25.91 was deposited under American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) Accession No. HB9120 on June 6, 1986; and
(c) the hybridome cell line designated P25.48 was deposited under American Type Culture collection (ATCC) Accession No. HB9119 on June 6, 1986.
Each of these hybridoma cell lines has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), 12301 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, Md. 120852 pursuant to and in satisfaction of the requirements of the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of Microorganisms for Purposes of Patent Procedure.
We see from Tables I and II that P25.48 and P25.91 appear to distinguish benign from malignant prostatic epithelium. They react with a subset of prostatic cancers (7/13) but do not react with benign prostatic epithelium (0/15).
The antigens recognized by P25.48 and P25.91 show a very restricted distribution on normal and malignant non-prostatic tissues (Table II).
P25.15 and S27 react with most benign and malignant prostatic tissues. The reactivity of S27 on malignant prostatic tissues is frequently heterogenous, although it is usually homogeneous on benign epithelium. S27 and P25.15 were found to react with a subset of normal tissues. They were found to react with most prostate tissues tested, including benign prostates and prostate cancers.
The antigens recognized by P25.15 and S27 show moderate degree of restriction for normal tissues.
These antibodies are therefore useful for the diagnosis, subclassification, imaging, and therapy of prostatic cancer.
For imaging the monoclonal antibody can be linked or bound to a radioactive or fluorescent substance. For diagnosis antigen-antibody complex can be detected or visualized by methods known in the (art such as mixed hemabsorption assay, rosetting, immunofluorescence and immunoperoxidase techniques etc.). For therapy, the monoclonal antibody can be linked to a radioactive label, a drug or therapeutic material, or a poison or cytotoxic agent to help kill the cancer cells bound by the monoclonal antibody.
Claims
