Popis: In this study, we have prepared antiidiotypic antibodies specific of human prolactin receptors (PRL-R) in order to localize these receptors in breast cancer. Antiidiotypic antibodies were prepared using anti-human prolactin (anti-hPRL) sera obtained from New Zealand rabbits. 25 breast cancer were PRL-R positive using radio receptor assay. For immunohistochemistry, the tissues fixed with Nakane and treated by NH4Cl and Saponin to improve staining specificity, were incubated with antiidiotypic antibodies (1/100e). Cytoplasm and membrane of human breast cancer cells were PRL-R positive in 20/25 breast cancer with antiidiotypic antibodies. There was no staining with preimmune serum and immunohistochemical staining elimination by prior absorption with anti-hPRL antibodies.
