Extranuclear estrogen receptor protein (estrophilin) of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was purified by passage of the cytosol fraction of a cell homogenate through an affinity column of estradiol linked to sepharose. Elution with 50 .mu.M [3H]estradiol in 10% (vol/vol) dimethyl formamide/0.5 M sodium thiocyanate gave a 40% recovery of [3H]estradiol-estrophilin, showing 14% of the specific radioactivity expected for the pure complex. Serum from a Lewis rat immunized with this partially purified estradiol-receptor complex contained antiestrophilin antibodies that reacted not only with nuclear and extranuclear estradiol-receptor complexes from MCF-7 cells, but also with estrophilin from rat, calf and monkey uterus, hen oviduct and human breast cancers. Splenic lymphocytes from the immunized rat were fused with cells of 2 different mouse myeloma lines (P3-X63-Ag8 and Sp2/0-Ag14) to yield hybridoma cultures, 2% of which produced antibodies to estrophilin. After cloning by limiting dilution, 3 hybridoma lines secreting antiestrophilin were expanded in suspension culture and as ascites tumors in athymic mice to provide substantial quantities of monoclonal antibodies; these antibodies recognize mammalian, but not avian estrophilin, and show different degrees of reactivity with receptor from nonprimate sources. By growing the clone from Sp2/0 in the presence of [35S]methionine, radiolabeled monoclonal IgG was prepared. These monoclonal antibodies may be useful in the study of estrogen receptors of human reproductive tissues, in particular for the radioimmunochemical assay and immunocytochemical localization of receptors in breast cancers. [This will be important in guiding therapy selection.].
