Selection of carbohydrate antigens in human epithelial ovarian cancers as targets for immunotherapy: Serous and mucinous tumors exhibit distinctive patterns of expression

Abstract excerpt

Expression of blood group-related carbohydrate antigens was examined in frozen sections from a series of ovarian carcinomas of different histological types using an indirect immunoperoxidase technique. Antigenic specificities belonging to the O(H) and Lewis blood group families (H-1, H-2, Le(a), sLe(a), Le(x), sLe(x), Le(b) and Le(y)) or the mucin-core family (Tn, sTn and TF) were studied. A distinct difference...
