Abstract excerpt
The monoclonal antibody OVTL3 has a highly restricted reactivity with ovarian carcinomas and defines a surface glycoprotein, OA3, which has been used for immunotargeting. To understand why OA3 is found on ovarian tumors we isolated a complementary DNA by expression cloning. The clone encodes a 323-amino acid protein with 5 putative membrane spanning domains, reminiscent of a membrane receptor or channel, but of a...
