Mab B21 is a monoclonal antibody (Mab) that recognizes an epithelial tumor surface antigen (ETSA-B21) from diverse human tumor cell lines including breast, ovary, uterus, and their cognate carcinoma tissues. A lower reactivity has been observed in normal breast tissue and benign hyperplesia. In this study, the characteristics of the ETSA-B21 antigen have been examined in greater detail in the MCF-7, SK-BR-3, and MDA-MB-453 breast cancer cell lines.

Background: Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) show promise in the early detection and monitoring of cancer and may have therapeutic applications as well.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to characterize MAb B21, a novel murine-derived antibody that has strong reactivity with MCF-7 and T47D cell lines from human breast cancer.

Methods: A number of MAbs that react with breast cancer cell lines were obtained from cultured mouse spleen cells, and one, MAb B21, was selected for detailed analysis.
