Monoclonal antibodies to membrane antigens of human small cell carcinoma of the lung were produced by fusion of P3X63/Ag8U1 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized against the intact cells of the small cell carcinomas grown in BALB/c nude mice. The hybrids were screened for antibody production using intact cells in a solid-phase radioimmunoassay or in a membrane fluorescence with a fluorescence-activated cell sorter. Four monoclonal antibodies were chosen that demonstrated reactivities with human small cell carcinoma of the lung and not with apparently normal diploid fibroblasts or lymphoblastoid cells. The antibodies designated as TFS-1 and TFS-2 rather demonstrated "pancarcinoma" reactivity, showing binding to the other types of lung cancer (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and large cell carcinoma) and carcinomas derived from other organs, such as colon, pancreas, or stomach. The monoclonal antibodies TFS-3 and TFS-4 preferentially bound to small cell carcinoma cells and neuroblastoma cells, but not to non-small cell carcinomas (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell, or large cell). Especially, TFS-4 did not bind to a variety of other normal or malignant cells. Immunoprecipitation of the antigens by monoclonal antibodies and sodium dodecyl sulfate:polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that they had different molecular weights.

Antibody-producing clones were obtained by hybridization of spleen cells from mice immunized with whole cultured human tumor cells and mouse myeloma cells, P3UX59AG8. The tumor cells were derived from a peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor. One of the antibodies produced by these clones reacts with the original cell line, SK-PN-DW, and other more differentiated neuroectodermal tumors such as neuroblastomas and melanomas. The cell line SK-PN-DW contains antigenic determinants recognized by monoclonal antibodies raised against melanoma, neuroblastoma, and human fetal brain. These data indicate that this primitive neuroectodermal tumor is derived from the neuroectoderm.

Monoclonal antibodies with selectivity for human lung cancer were produced by immunizing BALB/c mice with an established line of human small cell lung cancer (NCI-H69) and fusing the mouse spleen cells to mouse myeloma line X63-Ag8.653. The resulting hybrid cells were initially screened by immunoautoradiography for production of antibodies that would react with NCI-H69 and another small cell lung cancer line (NCI-H128) but not its autologous B-lymphoblastoid line (NCI-H128BL). Stable monoclonal antibody-producing lines were isolated by repeated cloning. Three independently derived monoclonal antibodies, designated 525A5, 534F8, and 538F12, were found to react with three of the major types of human lung cancer (small cell, adenocarcinoma, and squamous carcinoma). They did not react with bronchioloalveolar and large cell lung cancers, myeloma, lymphomas, leukemias, osteogeneic sarcoma, mesothelioma, hypernephroma, malignant melanoma, simian virus 40-transformed human fetal lung cells, skin fibroblast lines, human B-lymphoblastoid lines, human erythrocytes, and rodent cells. Interestingly, these antibodies also bound to three out of three human neuroblastomas and two out of three breast cancers but failed to react with mouse neuroblastoma and rat pheochromocytoma. The monoclonal antibodies reacted with human small cell lung cancer tumors obtained at autopsy, but had insignificant reactions with normal human lung, liver, spleen, and skeletal muscle. We conclude that monoclonal antibodies have been generated that react with common antigenic determinants expressed on several human lung cancer types, neuroblastoma, and some breast cancers, but are not detectable by our current assays on a variety of other human tumors or normal adult human tissues. Such antibodies are of potential clinical and biological importance.

The antigenic relationships between human tumors of neuroectodermal origin and fetal brain were investigated by the production of hybridoma antibodies derived from a fusion of P3-NS1/1-Ag 4-1 (NS1) myeloma cells with splenocytes from a mouse multiply immunized with an homogenate of second-trimester human fetal brain tissue. Two monoclonal antibodies (MAs), 4D2cl 6 and 7H10cl 4, were studied in detail by cell surface radioimmunoassay (CS-RIA), quantitative absorption, indirect immunofluorescence, and peroxidase-anti-peroxidase (PAP) immunohistology. MA 4D2cl 6 binds to 5 of 14 glioblastoma (GBM) cell lines, 1 of 2 melanoma cell lines, 1 of 3 neuroblastoma cell lines, and 1 of 5 fetal fibroblast lines by CS-RIA and to 13 of 13 GBM, 1 neuroblastoma, and fetal brain, liver, spleen, and adult spleen unfixed frozen tissue by PAP analysis. MA 7H10cl 4 binds to 13 of 14 GBM, 1 of 3 neuroblastoma, and 1 medulloblastoma cell line(s) by CS-RIA analysis and to 13 of 13 GBM, 1 neuroblastoma, fetal brain, liver, spleen, thymus, and adult spleen by PAP analysis. Control non-central nervous system tumors and normal adult tissue, including brain, were unreactive with both MAs by CS-RIA, PAP, and absorption analysis. Tissue distribution and localization analyses established that MAs 4D2cl 6 and 7H10cl 4 recognize specificities of shared fetal-neuroectodermal-lymphoid distribution which are operationally specific within the adult central nervous system and which are not related to previously described oncofetal or onconeural antigens.

The antigenic relationship between human tumors of neuroectodermal origin and fetal brain were further investigated by characterization of two hybridoma antibodies derived from a fusion of P3-NS1/1-Ag 4-1 (NSI) myeloma cells and splenocytes hyperimmunized to second trimester human fetal brain homogenate. Monoclonal antibodies (MAs) 1H8cl 2 and 1H8cl 3 were analyzed by cell surface radioimmunoassay (CS-RIA), quantitative absorption, indirect immunofluorescence, and peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) immunohistology. MA 1H8cl 3 is the more broadly reactive, binding to 9/14 glioblastoma (GBM), 2/3 neuroblastoma, 1/2 melanoma, and 1 medulloblastoma cell line(s) by CS-RIA analysis, and to 12/15 GBM, fetal brain, spleen, and liver, and adult spleen by PAP analysis. MA 1H8cl 2 is more restricted, binding to 7/14 GBM, 2/3 neuroblastoma, 1 medulloblastoma, and 2/3 fetal skin fibroblast cell line(s) by CS-RIA, and to 9/15 GBM and fetal brain and spleen by PAP analysis. Control non-central nervous system tumors and normal adult tissue including brain, thymus, lymph node, liver, kidney, lung, skin, and pancreas, were unreactive with both 1H8cl 2 and 1H8cl 3 by CS-RIA, PAP, and absorption analysis. The data presented here establish the unique nature of the detected antigenic specificities as compared to previously described oncofetal and onconeural antigens, and define two immune reagents which are operationally specific for tumors of neuroectodermal origin within the adult central nervous system.

Mouse myeloma cells were fused with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with a cell line derived from human small cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lung. The cloned hybridoma SM1 produced antibody that was reactive with the surface membrane of SCC cell lines and SCC tumors but not with the membrane of several non-SCC cell lines and tumors. SM1 ascites fluid was used to screen for reactivity of the antibody with other human cancer cell lines, tumor tissues, and normal tissues. SM1 antibody was found to be unreactive with neuroblastoma, adrenal carcinoma, melanoma, and bronchial carcinoid. Reactivity was detected with some breast carcinoma cell lines but not with breast cancer tissue specimens. In the same individual, the antibody was reactive with SCC lung tumor and SCC metastatic to the liver but not with normal tissues, including bronchus, lung parenchyma, liver, kidney, and brain. Human erythrocytes and marrow cells were also unreactive. Since SM1 detects an antigen that is present in greatest amounts on the surface membrane of SCC of the lung, this antibody may be useful in tracing the lineage patterns of human lung cancers.

BALB/c mice were immunized with an opioid receptor complex over the period of 1 year. Spleen cells from the mouse, whose serum inhibited opiate binding to rat neural membranes to the greatest extent, were fused with P3-X63-Ag8. 653.3 myeloma cells. By radioimmunoassay (RIA), 32 cell lines have been detected that secrete an antibody to a component of the isolated receptor complex. Antibodies from 2 of the cell lines have an effect on opiate binding to rat neural membranes. One antibody, OR-689.2.4 is an IgM cryoglobulin. This antibody partially inhibited the binding of 3H-dihydromorphine (3H-DHM), 3H-naloxone, 3H-ethylketocyclazocine (3H-EKC), and 3H-D-Ala2, D-Leu5 enkephalin (3H-DADLE) to rat neural membranes. The other antibody, OR-465.3, inhibited the binding of 3H-DHM and 3H-naloxone to rat neural membranes by a maximum of 70%. This antibody also inhibited the binding of 3H-DADLE to neural membranes but, did not affect the binding of this peptide to membranes from the neuroblastoma-glioma hybrid cell line, NG108-15. Work is ongoing to generate monoclonal antibodies specific for each subclass of opioid receptor.

A rapid and sensitive enzyme immunoassay is described for detecting rabies antibody in hybridoma culture fluids. Glass fiber filter disks were used to immobilize gamma-irradiated mouse neuroblastoma cells infected with street or laboratory strains of rabies virus. Bound rabies-specific antibody was detected by reaction with horseradish peroxidase-labeled goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin G. The assay was performed in a 96-well filtration device developed by Cleveland et al. (J. Clin. Microbiol. 15:402-407, 1982) for the typing of herpes simplex viruses. When partially disrupted cells were used, both internal and external viral antigens were available for reaction. The procedure is rapid (less than 4 h for completion) and requires only small amounts of fluid, and the gamma-irradiated antigen is noninfectious. When the procedure was used to screen 145 fluids from rabies-immune spleen-myeloma cell fusions, 132 were positive for rabies antibody. Other commonly used assays for the detection of rabies-specific antibody were less sensitive. Simultaneous analyses of many hybridoma fluids against a battery of street and laboratory strains of rabies virus are possible and allow rapid selection of useful monoclones.

The hybridoma technique was used to generate monoclonal antibodies against a wide spectrum of melanoma-associated surface antigens. Mice were immunized against the human melanoma lines Mel A-375, SK Mel-25, and Mel S-5 (subclone of SK Mel-25), which differ with respect to a number of biological and biochemical properties. Spleen cells were fused with P3 X 63-AG8.653 myeloma cells. Twenty hybridomas producing antibodies that were negative on platelets, leukocytes, and monocytes but positive on melanoma cells were isolated and recloned. The specificity of antibodies was investigated on 30 human melanoma and nonmelanoma lines. Five groups of antibodies could be distinguished by their reactivity (1) with few melanoma lines and embryonic fibroblasts; (2) with melanoma, neuroblastoma, and teratoma; (3) with melanoma, neuroblastoma, glioblastoma, teratoma, and carcinoma; (4) with melanoma, teratoma, and carcinoma; and (5) with melanoma, neuroblastoma, teratoma, glioblastoma, carcinoma, embryonic fibroblasts, and B-lymphoblastoid cells. The antigen expression was qualitatively and quantitatively different from cell line to cell line. No evidence for melanoma-specific antigens was found. Eight antibodies were isolated detecting phenotypic differences on sublines of SK Mel-25.

Twenty-eight persons with contiguous intracranial skull, and often extracranial metastatic disease are reported. These lesions comprised 7.6% of a series of 250 consecutive patients with intracranial metastatic disease. Only three of 28 patients had other intracranial lesions and only seven of 28 patients has other skull lesions demonstrable on computed tomography (CT). Carcinoma of the prostate and breast, multiple myeloma, and neuroblastoma are especially likely to appear in this manner. All metastases enhanced. The bone destruction was so pervasive that in 19 of the patients it was obvious at routine CT settings. In the nine other patients, it could be clearly seen only at bone settings (high window and level). The CT demonstration of an enhancing intracranial mass involving the skull and often the scalp is highly suggestive but not diagnostic of a metastatic lesion.
