MUCI is immunogenic in vivo and humoral and cellular immune responses against MUCI have been detected in cancer patients. Our study explored the association of circulating anti-MUCI antibodies with clinicopathological parameters or patients' survival of pancreatic cancer. Serum specimens from 36 patients with invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas were subjected to enzyme immunoassay for anti-MUCI IgG or IgM antibodies. Serum levels of anti-MUCI IgG antibodies were significantly correlated with survival time (p = 0.0004), whereas neither those of anti-MUCI IgM nor anti-Gala(1,3)Gal IgG antibodies, the latter known as natural antibodies cross-reactive with MUCI, showed a given tendency. Some patients' sera with the higher antibody titer showed the reactivity with MUCI-transfectants of cultured pancreatic cancer cells, but not with MUCI-negative parental cells. When the samples were tentatively divided into 2 groups by the serum level of anti-MUCI antibodies, the survival of patients was significantly longer in the group with optical density greater than or equal to0.3 than in that with optical density
