Abstract

The class III beta-tubulin isotype is widely used as a neuronal marker in normal and neoplastic tissues. This isotype was, however, also immunodetected in certain tumours of non-neuronal origin such as squamous cell carcinoma. Using a newly described monoclonal antibody we compared the distribution of class III beta-tubulin in normal and neoplastic tissues. The TU-20 mouse monoclonal antibody was prepared against a conserved synthetic peptide from the C-terminus of the human class III beta-tubulin isotype, and its specificity was confirmed by immunoblotting, by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and by immunofluorescence microscopy on cultured cells. In different cell lines of various origins the antibody reacted only with neuroblastoma Neuro-2a cells and with embryonal carcinoma P19 cells stimulated to neuronal differentiation by retinoic acid. Immunohistochemistry on formaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human tissues revealed the presence of the class III beta-tubulin isotype in cell bodies and processes of neuronal cells in the peripheral and central nervous systems. In other tissues, this beta-tubulin isotype was not immunodetected. Class III beta-tubulin was found in all cases of ganglioneuroblastoma, gan...Continue Reading

Carcinoma, Squamous Cell

Basal cell carcinoma is a form of malignant skin cancer found on the head and neck regions and has low rates of metastasis. Discover the latest research on basal cell carcinoma here.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
