Forty-seven IM and thirty-seven gastric carcinoma samples were stained for p53, c-erbB-2 and Ki67 proteins by Envision immunohistochemical technique.RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the expression of p53 and c-erbB-2 among type type, typeIM and gastric carcinomas. The positive expression rate of Ki67 was significantly higher in gastric carcinomas than in type IM while no signif icant Ki67 expression differences were observed among type,typeIM and gastric carcinomas. The expression ofp53, c-erbB-2 and Ki67 proteins in 20 SIM, 27 Atypical IM and 37 gastric carcinomas showed significant differences between SIM and gastric carcinomas while no significant differences were observed between Atypical IM and gastric carcinomas.CONCLUSION: Atypical IM may better reveal the pre-cancerous nature of IM and could be a helpful indicator in the clinical follow up of patients.展开更多

Amplification of this gene has been shown to correlate with poor clinical prognosis for certain cancer patients. The monoclonal antibody A21 which directed against p185 specifically inhibits proliferation of tumor cells overexpressing p185, hence allows it to be a candidate for targeted therapy. In order to overcome several drawbacks of murine MAb, we cloned its VH and VL genes and constructed the single-chain Fv (scFv) through a peptide linker. The recombinant scFvA21 was expressed in Escherichia coli and purified by the affinity column. Subsequently it was characterized by ELISA, Western blot, cell immunohistochemistry and FACS. All these assays showed the binding activity to extracellular domain (ECD) of p!85. Based on those properties of scFvA21, we further constructed the scFv-Fc fusion molecule with a homodimer form and the recombinant product was expressed in mammalian cells. In a series of subsequent analysis this fusion protein showed identical antigen binding site and activity with the parent antibody. These anti-p185 engineered antibodies have promised to be further modified as a tumor targeting drugs, with a view of application in the diagnosis and treatment of human breast cancer.展开更多
