MONOKLONALE ANTIKOERPER GEGEN C-KIT

摘要

The invention concerns monoclonal antibodies against the human c-kit receptor which are obtainable from the DSM ACC 2007, DSM ACC 2008 and DSM ACC 2009 cell lines or can be bound to the c-kit receptor in a way which is equivalent to the antibodies produced by the DSM ACC 2007, DSM ACC 2008 or DSM ACC 2009 cell lines. The invention also concerns a method of demonstrating the malignity of tumours of haematopoietic cells, seminomas or small-cell lung carcinomas. In this method, a tissue sample is incubated with at least one monoclonal antibody against the c-kit receptor as proposed by the invention, the presence of bound antibodies subsequently being demonstrated by prior art methods.
