Monoclonal antibodies produced after immunization of mice with human melanomas define protein antigens expressed not only by melanomas hut also by other tunours of neural crest origin such as astrocytomas and neuroblastomas. Other monoclonal antibodies react with antigens expressed by melanomas and fetal but not adult human melanocytes. Cells of common naevi and of precancerous lesions such as dysplastic naevi share many antigens with melanomas but not with normal melanocytes. Unlike melanomas. naevi in tissue culture are characterized by a finite lifetime. Factors that are instrumental in malignant transformation of dysplastic naevi in wivo and are apparently lacking in the tissue culture system are currently under study. Monoclonal antibodies produced after immunizing mice with cells of human gastrointestinal carcinomas define glycolipid antigens. The carbohydrate structure of one of these antigens is lacto-N-fucopentaose 111. This antigen is very strongly expressed by a varietv of human tumours and in the immunoperoxidase assay the respective monoclonal antihody also binds to normal human epithelium.Another monosialoganglioside is an antigen expressed by cells of gastrointestinal tract tumours such as of the pancreas, stomach and large bowel and by cells of villous adenomas of the colon, but not by cells of normal colonic mucosa. Its carbohydrate is a sialylated Lea-active pentasaccharide (sialylated lacto-N-fucopentaose 11). A hitherto undiscovered sialyltransferase, which may be involved in synthesis of this antigen from Lewis A glycolipid, is probably active in tumour tissue and at early stages ofembrvogenesis but not in normal adult tissue.
