"Characterization of a Prostate Carcinoma Mucin-Like Antigen (PMA)."

According to the authors' abstract of an article published in International Journal of Cancer, "A recently identified, high m.w. human tumor antigen, reactive with monoclonal antibody (MAb) PD41 and designated prostate mucin antigen (PMA), was found to have expression highly restricted to prostate carcinomas. Both biochemical and immunological characteristics of this antigen and its relationship to other tumor-associated mucins and various species of submaxillary mucins were evaluated. Immunohistochemical examination of submaxillary tissues revealed differential expression of this antigen and other human tumor-associated mucins, with MAb, PD41 expression found only in bovine submaxillary...
