Background | The antibody recognizes a transmembrane glycoprotein of 140 and 180 kD which has been identified as NCAM (Neural Cell Adhesion Module). At the international Workshop on SCLC antibodies 123C3 has been categorized as cluster 1 antibody. All cells in small cell carcinomas and carcinoids of the lung are strongly positive for 123C3. A minority of cases of other major types of lung carcinoma are sometimes positive as well: however this positivity is generally weak and focal. Adenoid cystic carcinomas of bronchial glands are strongly positive. Neuroblastoma s and Wilms tumors are usually also staining strongly positive. In non-small lung cell carcinomas, 123C3 staining has been associated with more advanced stage and a decreased survival after surgery. Furthermore, this antibody can be used to support diagnosis of lymphoma or to detect residual disease for cases of CD56 positive T/NK-cell lymphoma in which the neoplastic lymphoid cells are small and show minimal atypia, especially in small biopsies. |
