Abstract
The use of antimelanoma monoclonal antibodies on tissue sections using a two-step indirect immunoperoxidase technique is reported. Antibodies 691-13-17 and 691-I5-Nu4B reacted with dysplastic nevus cells and all melanomas tested, but not with normal skin melanocytes, intradermal nevi, or lentigines. Antibody 691-13-17, directed against DR antigen, reacted also with Langerhan's cells, macrophages, and a subpopulation of lymphocytes. Antibody 691-I5-Nu4B reacted only with melanomas. The technique allows analysis of the expression of antigens by tumor cells in situ.Entities:
