| Research Abstract |
We made monoclonal antibodies by using a malignant mesothelioma cell line as an immunogen, and obtained a clone of monoclonal antibody which reacts with a surface molecule of malignant mesothelioma, but not that of pulmonary adenocarcinoma. This clone showed strong immunoreactivity for malignant mesothelioma. In addition, we identified a cell adhesion molecule, which was expressed in malignant mesothelioma cells, but not reactive mesothelial cells, in pleural effusion. The clone of monoclonal antibody and the cell adhesion molecule may be useful for early diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma.
