Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of antibody technology, and in particular to an antibody against carbohydrate antigen 153 and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Breast Cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in women, posing a major threat to human health and survival, and is one of the most important social issues facing countries around the world. Today, breast cancer accounts for 7%-10% of all malignant tumors in the body, and its incidence rate has been increasing year by year, increasing at a rate of 3% per year since 1980, especially in developed countries such as North America and Western Europe. Since the etiology and pathogenesis of breast cancer are relatively complex and have not been fully elucidated, and its pathogenic characteristics are low age of onset, asymptomatic in the early stages, relatively late stage of the disease when seeking medical treatment, and metastasis leading to shortened survival, early diagnosis and treatment have become the key to improving patient survival.

[0003] Methods for breast cancer examination include breast infrared, B-ultrasound, breast X-ray examination, MRI, etc., and methods for breast cancer diagnosis include mass puncture biopsy and excision biopsy. Pathological examination has a high accuracy, but because it is a invasive examination, it is often not easily accepted by patients. With the continuous application and popularization of serum tumor markers in clinical practice, more and more tumor markers have been gradually discovered and applied to the diagnosis of clinical breast cancer. Due to the non-invasiveness and rapidity of serum tumor marker examination, it has gradually been welcomed by patients. At present, tumor markers are divided into five categories: carcinoembryonic antigen markers (CEA, AFP, etc.), carbohydrate antigens (CA153, CA125, CA199, etc.), enzyme markers (PSA, NSE, etc.), hormone markers (HGH, HCG, etc.), and other protein markers (ferritin, etc.). Among them, carbohydrate antigen markers refer to antigen substances on the surface of tumor cells or substances secreted by tumor cells. This type of substance is also a monoclonal antibody, so it is also called carbohydrate antigen. The content in normal human body is extremely low. Generally, abnormally elevated carbohydrate antigens can be detected in the serum of tumor state.

[0004] CA153 (MUC1), or Carcinoem-bryonic Antigen 153 (CA153), is a monoclonal antibody against mucin 1, belonging to the mucin family, and is encoded by the mvc-1 gene. It was a mouse monoclonal antibody (115-DB) made by Hikens et al. from the glycoprotein MAM-6 on the human milk fat globules (HMFG) membrane McAbll5D8 in 1982. In 1984, Kufu et al. made a monoclonal antibody (DF-3) from the liver metastasis breast cancer cell membrane component McAbDF3, so it was named CA153. CA153 is a polymorphic epithelial mucin with a molecular weight of 40kD. It is a breast cancer-related antigen located on the surface of tumor cells. When the cells become cancerous, the activity of proteases and salivary enzymes on the cell membrane increases, and the cytoskeleton is destroyed, which leads to the detachment of cell antigens and releases them into the blood, increasing the serum content. CA153 antigen exists in malignant tumor cells and normal epithelium of breast, lung, ovary and pancreas. Therefore, CA153 can be elevated not only in malignant tumors such as breast cancer, ovarian cancer and lung cancer, but also in certain benign diseases. CA153 is currently recognized as one of the better serum markers for breast cancer diagnosis. Therefore, since 1997, the American Society of Clinical Oncology has recommended CA153 as an important tumor marker for breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.

[0005] There are endless studies on tumor marker detection methods, including radioimmunoassay (RIA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELA), time-resolved immunosorbent assay (TFIA), chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA), protein chip detection method, gene chip detection method, etc. Among them, the detection method of carbohydrate antigen 153 is usually chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELA), etc.
