• Description: Monoclonal antibody directed against 5T4, with use as a prognostic aid of tumours. Background and Research Application The murine 5T4 monoclonal antibody, clone B3F1, identifies the human 5T4 oncofoetal antigen, also known as trophoblast glycoprotein. 5T4 is a highly glycosylated protein expressed by trophoblast and a few specialized adult epithelia and is an antagonist of the Wnt/ ?-catenin signalling pathway. Up-regulation of 5T4 expression in some cancers is associated with poor clinical outcome; overexpression of human 5T4 cDNA in epithelial cells can alter their morphology and motility, supporting a role for such functions in cancer and development. 5T4 has limited expression in normal tissues, but is widespread in tumours, thus its expression is used as a prognostic aid. 5T4 is typically found in colorectal, ovarian and gastric tumours. 5T4 is a potential target for T cells, in antibody-directed immunotherapy.
