Abstract: SK1, a human immunoglobulin M (IgM) monoclonal antibody was derived from regional nodal lymphocytes of a Dukes B colon carcinoma patient. The antigen recognized by the human monoclonal antibody (HuMab) SK1, termed AgSK1, was shown to be a two-chain glycoprotein with an apparent molecular weight range of 42–46 kDa and preferentially expressed by human adenocarcinomas, particularly human gastrointestinal malignancies. To identify the gene encoding the AgSK1 antigenic epitope, a cDNA expression library constructed in λgt22A using mRNA from the colon carcinoma cell line HT29 was screened and one of the isolated clones encoding a 1.5-kb cDNA, which showed strong immunoreactivity with HuMab SK1, was selected for further analysis. This clone consisted of an amino terminal open reading frame of 54 amino acids and the carboxyl terminal 20 amino acids of this protein coding region contained the antigenic epitope recognized by HuMab SK1.
