Abstract
A monoclonal antibody has been produced that binds to apical cells of human ocular surface and vaginal epithelia. The antigen recognized by this monoclonal antibody is a mucin-like cell surface glycoprotein. The antibody is of diagnostic use in the evaluation of the ocular surface in dry eye patients, and the antigen has therapeutic potential for use in treatment of dry eye disease. In a comparison of dry eye and normal patients the pattern of antibody binding to dry eye ocular surface epithelia has been shown to differ from the binding pattern seen in normal epithelia.
