Purpose: To evaluate HER-2/neu-specific antibody immunity patients with breast cancer, to determine the rate of occurrence of serum antibodies to HER-2/neu in patients with breast cancer, and to relate the presence of specific immunity to overexpression of HER-2/neu protein in primary tumor.Methods: The antibody response to HER-2/neu protein was analyzed in 107 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. Sera was analyzed for the presence of HER-SI neo-specific antibodies with a capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and verified by Western blot. Sera from 200 volunteer blood donors was used as a control population.Results: The presence of antibodies to HER-2/neu correlated with the presence of breast cancer. HER-2/neu antibodies at titers of greater than or equal to 1:100 were detected in 12 of 107 (11%) breast cancer patients versus none of 200 (O%) normal controls (P
