BACKGROUND: Cytoplasmic p90 autoantigen was recently cloned from a cDNA expression library using serum antibody from a cancer patient. The humoral immune response to p90 in prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was examined. METHODS: An antigenic fragment of recombinant p90 protein and several other tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) were used in ELISA and Western blotting to detect antibodies in sera from patients with prostate cancer, BPH, and other controls. RESULTS: Autoantibodies to p90 were detected in 30.8% of 133 prostate cancer patients versus 1.5% in 68 BPH patients. When a selected panel of six TAAs including p90 were used for immunoscreening, the cumulative positive reactions in prostate cancer sera reached 92.5%, significantly higher than in BPH and other control sera. Antibodies to p90 showed the highest frequency in prostate cancer (30.8%), followed by antibodies to p62 (22.6%). CONCLUSIONS: A panel of six selected TAAs was shown to have high sensitivity and specificity as immunodiagnostic markers in prostate cancer. (c) 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
