Three IgG1 monoclonal antibodies derived from BALB/c mice immunized with the Caki-1 human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) line react with antigens present in most human RCCs but restricted in their expression in normal adult tissues. Antibody DAL-K20 reacted with five of six RCCs and the lining epithelium of normal proximal and distal convoluted tubules. Antibody DAL-K29 reacted with eight of nine RCCs, with glomeruli, where it outlined the capillaries, and more weakly with prostatic glandular epithelium and the basal layer of the epidermis. K29 precipitated molecules with molecular weights of 118,000 and 150,000 from extracts of surface-labeled Caki-1 cells. Antibody DAL-K45 reacted with four of six RCCs but not with any normal adult tissue including kidney. It precipitated Mr 177,000 and 150,000 antigens. The three antibodies showed distinct patterns of reactivity with human tumor cell lines.
