The present invention is directed to an antigen found on the surface of rat and human pancreatic cancer cells and provides antibodies of high specificity and selectivity to this antigen as well as hybridomas secreting the subject antibodies. Methods for both the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic cancer are also provided. This tissue marker of pancreatic adenocarcinoma, an approximately 43.5 kD surface membrane protein designated PaCa-Agl, is completely unexpressed in normal pancreas but abundantly expressed in pancreatic carcinoma cells. Moreover, a soluble form of PaCa-Agl exists, having a molecular weight about 36 to about 38 kD, that is readily identified in sera and other body fluids of pancreatic cancer patients, using a subject antibody.

La présente invention concerne un antigène trouvé à la surface de cellules pancréatiques d'origine murine (rat) et humaine et des anticorps à haute spécificité et haute sélectivité pour cet antigène ainsi que des hybridomes sécrétant lesdits anticorps. Des méthodes de diagnostic et de traitement du cancer du pancréas sont également présentées. Le marqueur tissulaire de l'adénocarcinome pancréatique, qui est une protéine membranaire de surface d'environ 43,5 kD appelée PaCa-Agl, est complètement inexprimée dans un pancréas normal mais abondamment exprimée dans les cellules de carcinome pancréatique. Il existe également une forme soluble de PaCa-Agl, d'un poids moléculaire compris entre environ 36 et environ 38 kD, qui est facilement identifiée, au moyen de l'anticorps selon l'invention, dans le sérum et dans d'autres fluides corporels de patients atteints du cancer du pancréas.
