A BALB/c mouse was immunized with cyst fluid of a human serous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary. After fusing the spleen cells from this mouse with murine myeloma cells, antibody-producing cells were screened on thin sections of various human tissues. A clone was identified that produced antibodies staining ovarian carcinomas.

Specification:
The antibody stains 80% of non-mucinous primary and metastatic ovarian cancers. This monoclonal antibody is used for the identification of primary and metastatic non-mucinous ovarian carcinoma and ovarian carcinoma cells in peritoneal fluids. It rarely stains nongynaecological malignancies.
