Abstract

Two monoclonal antibodies produced by hybridomas obtained from a mouse immunized with a colorectal carcinoma cell line bind specifically to human gastrointestinal cancer cells. The antigen of this antibody in the carcinoma cell line, a monosialoganglioside, has been isolated. Its carbohydrate structure is probably (formula: see text). This oligosaccharide is a sialyl derivative of lacto-N-fucopentaose II, a hapten of the human Lea blood group antigen. About 30 micrograms of ganglioside is obtained from 1 g of cells, wet weight. The ganglioside was detected by autoradiography in lipid extracts of some carcinomas and of meconium, but not in lipid extracts of normal adult tissues. Antigen was detected by solid phase radioimmunoassay in lipid extracts from 12 out of 21 adenocarcinomas of the colon, from 4 out of 5 gastric adenocarcinomas, and from 4 out of 7 pancreatic carcinomas. Antigen was not detected in lipid extracts from 5 esophageal carcinomas or from normal colon and gastric mucosa, pancreas, kidney, liver, and bone marrow.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
