General description

Anti-B72.3 recognizes a high molecular weight glycoprotein called TAG-72 that is present in human adenocarcinomas and in lesser amounts, non-neoplastic tissues. It has also been found to be useful to distinguish between mesothelioma and adenocarcinoma, however, false positive reactions can occur so results must be interpreted with the utmost caution.

Monoclonal antibody B72.3 has been shown to be reactive with a high-molecular-weight glycoprotein complex termed TAG(tumor-associated glycoprotein)-72. By the avidin-biotin immunoperoxidase method, fine needle aspirates and corresponding surgically excised tumor tissues from both malignant and benign tissues were analyzed for
