ABSTRACT:
The present invention is concerned with novel monoclonal antibodies which define a gylcolipid antigen associated with human non-small cell lung carcinomas ("NSCLC") and certain other human carcinomas. The antibodies bind to normal human cells to a much lesser degree than to tumor cells. The antibodies find use in diagonostic methods such as the detection of malignant cells associated with NSCLC and in therapeutic methods. The invention also comprises a method for determining the presence of a malignant condition in lung tissue and other human tissue. The method involves examining the human tissue for the presence of a glycolipid antigen having the characteristics of a ganglio-N-triosylceramide.
