A new murine monoclonal IgG3 antibody (Mab 1H10) was developed with specificity for human cervical carcinoma and several other tumor types. Antibody reactivity against a panel of tumor cell lines was examined by indirect immunofluorescence and quantified by flow cytometry. Mab 1H10 reacted with cervical, colorectal and bladder carcinoma cells and to a lesser extent melanoma and hepatocellular carcinoma cells but did not react with human fibroblasts, lymphocytes or RBCs. Mab 1H10, as assessed by immunohistochemical staining, bound 40/97 cervical carcinoma tissue samples, 8/16 colorectal carcinoma samples as well as a population of osteogenic sarcoma and lung, ovarian and bladder carcinoma tissues. Mab 1H10 did not react with any normal tissue or cell samples tested including cervix, ovary, breast, liver, colon, bladder, lung, spleen, cerebrum, lymphocytes or RBCs. Mab 1H10 may be useful for the targeting of drugs, toxins or radioisotopes to cervical carcinoma in humans.

Rat osteosarcoma 17/2.8 cells (Ros 17/2.8 cells) were labeled with [32P]PO4(2-), and their levels of inositol lipids were determined after stimulation with thrombin. Thrombin stimulated a pertussis toxin-sensitive rapid accumulation of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4,5)P3] with lesser increases in levels of phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate [PtdIns(3,4)P2] and phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate [PtdIns3P] that were slower in onset. Ros 17/2.8 cell homogenates contained phosphatase activities that hydrolyzed PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 to PtdIns(3,4)P2 and PtdIns3P. Phosphoinositide-3-kinase activity was determined in Ros 17/2.8 cell homogenates using exogenously provided PtdIns(4,5)P2. Guanosine-5'-3-O-(thio)triphosphate caused an approximately 3-fold increase in phosphoinositide-3-kinase activity in a manner that was blocked by high concentrations of guanosine-5'-2-O-(thio)diphosphate. Purified bovine brain G protein beta gamma subunits also increased phosphoinositide-3-kinase activity modestly in Ros 17/2.8 cell homogenates. Ros 17/2.8 cell homogenates contained phosphatase activities that sequentially dephosphorylated PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 to PtdIns(3,4)P2 and PtdIns3P. Two peaks of phosphoinositide-3-kinase activity were resolved by anion exchange chromatography of a Ros 17/2.8 cell cytosolic extract. The later elution of these was selectively activated by beta gamma subunits (16-fold activation with 16 microM beta gamma subunits). Half-maximal effects of the beta gamma subunits were observed at a concentration of 0.6 microM, and activation was blocked by preincubation of the beta gamma subunits with an excess of recombinant Gi alpha 2. beta gamma Subunits did not activate the p85 alpha/p110 beta form of phosphoinositide-3-kinase purified from sf9 cells after expression with the use of baculovirus vectors.
