Abstract
A panel of monoclonal antibodies, produced from human bladder tumors as immunogen, is used to diagnose the presence of transitional cell carcinoma in patients. The panel is also used to identify and differentiate low grade non-invasive papillomas from invasive life-threatening transitional cell carcinomas, thereby enabling decisions as to the extent of bladder surgery. These mAbs can also be used as a panel for tissue typing of normal and abnormal cell specimens.
