| Localization |
Cytoplasmic and cell surface |
| Specificity |
Recognizes an oncofetal antigen of 220kDa, identified as a tumor-associated glycoprotein (TAG-72) with properties of a mucin. This monoclonal antibody defines the mucin-carried sialylated-Tn epitope. TAG-72 is usually expressed by adenocarcinomas, but is negative in mesotheliomas. Studies have reported that this antibody has 80% sensitivity and 93% specificity for pulmonary adenocarcinoma. Therefore, TAG-72 is a useful marker to distinguish between mesothelioma and adenocarcinoma. However, false positive reactions can occur so results must be interpreted with the utmost caution. This antibody may be useful in the differentiation of non-small cell carcinomas from small cell carcinomas of the lung. The combined use of anti-TAG-72 and anti-GCDFP-15 is valuable in the diagnosis of apocrine carcinoma. |

Background
Tumor-associated glycoprotein (TAG-72) is an oncofetal antigen with properties of a mucin. About 60% of carcinoma patients express TAG-72 in their sera. Majority of human adenocarcinomas including colorectal, pancreatic, gastric, ovarian, endometrial, mammary, and non-small cell lung cancer display some cell populations that are positive for Ab-1 staining. Weak or no reactivity has been observed with most cell types of normal adult tissue excepting the secretory endometrium. Ab-1 is reportedly useful in distinguishing pulmonary adenocarcinomas (B72.3+) from pleural mesotheliomas (B72.3-).
