A. Bartorelli et al., IMMUNOCYTOCHEMICAL REACTIVITY OF MAMMALIAN LIVER ANTIGEN (UK101) IN HUMAN TUMORS AND NON NEOPLASTIC TISSUES, Journal of tumor marker oncology, 9(3), 1994, pp. 37-47
Polyclonal antisera and monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) produced against
antigens extracted from the liver (UK101) of different mammals (goat,
calf, horse) recognize, in immunocytochemistry, over 90% of human tumo
rs and some normal human tissues characterized by the presence of a hi
gh number of mitochondria. The immunocytochemical cytoplasmic reactivi
ty, is similar but not identical to immunocytochemical reactivity to u
biquitin and is due to a 14Kd protein.
