Paradoxical Expression of R-10G-reactive Antigen in Human Testicular Embryonal Carcinoma.
Thus far, several monoclonal antibodies directed against cell-surface carbohydrate antigens have been generated. Among them, R-10G reportedly reacts selectively with human embryonic stem and induced pluripotent stem cells, but not with embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells. However, EC cells derived from patients' EC tumors may exhibit varying levels of R-10G-reactive antigen expression. Thus, we asked whether human EC tissues or germ cell tumor (GCT) tissues other than EC express R-10G-reactive antigen. To do so, we quantitatively analyzed R-10G-reactive antigen expression in 83 testicular GCT surgical specimens containing a total of 125 various GCT components. Accordingly, in all EC components examined, the EC cell plasma membrane was immunolabeled with R-10G, while most seminoma components were R-10G-negative. In non-seminomatous GCT (NSGCT) other than EC (non-EC NSGCT), R-10G-reactive antigen expression was variable, but signal distribution was focal, and the average intensity was weaker than that seen in EC. The percentages of R-10G-positive cells in these three groups varied with high statistical significance (p<0.001 for all combinations). These findings indicate that the R-10G-reactive antigen is preferentially expressed in human testicular EC tissues and, thus, could be used as a diagnostic marker for this malignancy.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
