Description The invention relates to murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), A, B, C and D, which are directed against tumor-associated antigens. The nearly complete nucleotide sequences of the V genes of these MAbs are described, so that the relevant variable domains can be put together to give chimeric MAbs, or "humanized" MAbs are obtained by inserting the hypervariable regions (complementarity determining regions = CDR) into a human MAb framework. Antibody constructs of this type can be employed in human therapy and in vivo diagnosis without the disadvantages observed with murine MAbs.
MAb A reacts with antigen 2, MAb B reacts with antigen 11 and MAb C reacts with antigen 7, all of which are described in EP-A2 0,141,079 and are membrane associated antigens on permanent human tumor cells lines such as the CaLu-1, Chago, Oat 75, PaTuII and Bewo cell - 1b -line. MAb D is directed against a Vibrio cholerae neur-aminidase (VCN)-sensitive epitope on the ganalioside GD2 which is exposed on human melanoma cell lines.
MAbs A to D were generated as described in EP-A2 0,141,079 and isolated by standard methods.
MAb A binds to cells of the granulocyte compartment and to carcinomas of the colon, pancreas and some of the lung and breast, as shown in Tab. 1.

and II primary tumors of carcinoma of the pancreas (11/14). Like the primary tumors, most grade I and II
metastases of carcinoma of the pancreas appear to have a positive reaction (3/4). The type of reaction on these positive tissues indicates that the epitope recognized by MAb C is located in the cytoplasm, on the membrane and in the intercellular space.
~(~~.~993 Grade III carcinomas of the pancreas do not express the epitope (primary tumor 0/2, metastases 0/5). However, since grade I and II carcinomas of the pancreas comprise up to 95% of carcinomas of the pancreas, MAb C ought to react with 60-70% of all carcinomas of the pancreas.
Another important property of MAb C is its reactivity with the duct system in the chronically inflamed pancreas (pancreatitis 10/13), whereas there is no detectable binding to healthy exocrine and endocrine pancreatic tissue (0/8). Only a minority of the investigated primary tumors of carcinoma of the colon was reactive (4/14), whereas most of the liver metastases of carcinoma of the colon showed distinct binding (7/10).
Cross-reactivities of MAb C are confined to the mucus-producing goblet cells of the colonic mucosa and of the stomach. All the other normal tissue tested, including peripheral blood leukocytes and bone marrow, do not express the mucus-associated epitope recognized by MAb C
(see Tab. 3). *) see end of page 5!

MAb D recognizes a VCN-sensitive epitope on the ganglio-side GD2 which does not occur on other bovine cerebral gangliosides, including GD3, GM3, GM1, GTla. GDlb. GDla and GM4. Using MAb D it was possible to stain all gliomas, meningiomas and neurilemmomas in normal human cerebral tissue. Tab. 4 summarizes the binding properties of MAb D

Examples:
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) described by Saiki et al., Science 230, 1350-1354 (1985) was employed herein-after for the cloning and expression of the variable domain of murine immunoglobulins (Ig).
1. Identification of the conserved regions at the 5' and 3' end of the murine heavy Ig chain (VH) and the light Ig chain (VK).
The mutually aligned sequences of the variable regions were taken from the data file of Rabat et al. Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, US Dept. of Health and Human Services, US Government Printing Office (1987).
The nucleotide sequences start there at the amino ter-minus of the mature protein and do not include the signal sequences. Computer screening (DBUTIL, R. Staden (1986) Nucleic Acids Res. 14, 217-231) was used to find suitable primers for cDNA synthesis and amplimers for use in the PCR:

2. cDNA synthesis RNA was prepared from about 3 x 108 cells of the par-ticular hybridomas which secrete MAb A, B, C or D, and poly A+ mRNA was enriched from the latter using oligo dT
Sepharose . The poly A+ mRNA was used for the cDNA syn-thesis. The first strands of cDNA were synthesized using oligonucleotide primers which hybridize in the J region of the V8 nucleotide sequences (oligonucleotide I) and at the 5' end of the kappa C gene nucleotide sequences (oligonucleotide II).
The RNA is then decomposed by NaOH treatment. The second strands of cDNA were synthesized using oligonucleotide primers which hybridize at the 5' ends of the V8 (oligo-nucleotide III) and of the Vkap~ (oligonucleotide IV) nucleotide sequences.
3. Amplification of the synthesized cDNA and sequencing of the variable domains The DNA generated as described in 2. was amplified using oligonucleotides I, III, IV and V (oligonucleotide V
hybridizes in the J region of the V,~p~, nucleotide sequences) and the Taq DNA polymerase from Thermophilus aquatius. A typical mixture contained in 50 11 total volume 5 11 of ds DNA (prepared in 2.), 25 pmol of amplimers, and was 250 1M in each of dATP, dTTP, dCTP and dGTP, 67 mM tris-HC1 pH 8.8, 17 mM (NHa)ZS04, 10 mM MgCl2, 200 1g/ml gelatin and 2 units of Taq polymerase. A layer of liquid paraffin was placed on the mixture and then 25 cycles each of 1 min at 95°C (for denaturation), 1 min at 30°C (hybridization) and 2 min at 72°C (DNA synthesis) were carried out using a Techne PHC-1 programmable heating block.
The oligonucleotides used for the cDNA cloning and amplification contain restriction cleavage sites. The cDNA cloning and the amplification resulted in these restriction cleavage sites being introduced at the 5' end and at the 3' end of the V$ and V,~p~ nucleotide sequences (Pst I and BstEII in Ve and PvuII and BglII in V~p~).
These restriction cleavage sites were then used to clone V$ and VR cDNA fragments in M13 vectors (Lys 19, Lys 17) (Verhoyen et al. Science 239, (1988), 1534-1536).
Finally, the nucleotide sequences of the particular VH and V,~ppa cDNA fragments were determined using the method of Sanger (PNAS, iJSA, 74, 5463-5467, ( 1977 ) ) from the Lys 19 and Lys 17 vectors (see Figures 3, 4, 5, 6).
Examples 4 and 5 shall explain the use of the MAb C
described using MAb C:
Euample 4:
Mab C was fixed to the wells of microtitration plates (Nunc) by adsorption. Into these wells 20 ~C1 sample plus 100 ~1 buffer-solution (OSND, Behringwerke AG) each was pipetted and 2 respective 3 hours incubated. After threefold washing with diluted EnzygnostR washing solu-tion (OSEN, Behringwerke AG) 100 ~1 conjugate-solution was filled into each well. Used here were conjugates of peroxidase with lectin (e. g. wheat germ agglutinin '--WGA) or with other antibodies recognizing different epitopes of the tumor-associated antigens defined by MAb C. The following two or three hours incubation step at 37°C was terminated by 3 wash cycles. For the third incubation step at room temperature 100 ~1 each of a buffer/substrate-chromogene solution (OUVG/OUSF Behring-werke AG) was filled into the wells and the enzyme reaction was terminated after 30 min. with 100 ~1 of stopping solution EnzygnostR (OSFA, Behringwerke AG).
Absorbance of the samples was measured at 450 mm.
result:
The absorbance values determined as shown above correspond to the concentration of the antigens) in the samples. The concentration of the antigen defined by the specific binding of MAb C, in serum or plasma of tumor patients is significantly elevated as compared to said concentration of healthy control persons or patients with benign disease. This is especially true for patients with carcinoma of the pancreas (Fig. 1). In Figure 1 NS signifies serum samples o healthy blood donors (n=141); AP means serum samples of patients with acute pancreatitis (n=56). CP means serum samples of patients which chromic pancreatitin (n=40) and Pan-Ca means patients with carcinome of the pancreas (n-82). A means asorance.
Significantly elevated concentrations were also determined in serum or plasma of patients with carcinoma of the stomach, colon or rectum. Equally good results were obtained irrespective of the conjugate system (antibody-peroxidase or WGA-peroxidase). With the use of MAb C as specific binding-component a sensitive test for tumor markers of especially gastrointestinal tumor disease can be made.

5 ~tg each of MAb C or MAb C 50 as control (Pharmacia;
Holmgren et al. (1984) British Med. J. 288, 1479) were pipeted in 50 ~1 phosphate-buffered-saline (PBS) into a CA 19-9 Test (CA 19-9 EIA "Roche"). The highest standard (100 U/ml) was added before start of the incubation. The tests were perfonaed according to the instructions of the test-kit above and the absorbances of the respective samples were determined.
~tesult:
The additional dilution of the standard-antigen after addition of the PBS-solution reduces the signal of the highest standard even without addition of MAb. No further reduction of the signal results by the presence of MAb C
in the assay. In contrast hereto the signal formation is totally inhibited by MAb C 50, which as is known binds among others specifically to the epitope "sialosyl Lea"
recognized also by MAb 19-9: From the above one may conclude that MAb C recognizes a different epitope as MAb 19-9. (See Fig. 2).

20 ~ 2993 - 1a -Brief Description of the Drawings Figure 1 is a plot of absorbance values which are indicative of concentration of antigens) in the samples defined by the specific binding of MAb C in serum samples of healthy blood donors (NS), patients with acute pancreatitis (AP), patients with chromic pancreatitin (CP), and patients with carcinoma of the pancreas (Pan-Ca).
Figure 2 is a graph showing absorbance levels of respective samples of control, Mab 19-9, with and without MAb C , MAb C 50 as described in Example 5.
Figure 3 shows the nucleotide and protein sequences of the (a) VH and (b)VK gene of Mab A.
Figure 4 shows the nucleotide and protein sequences of the (a) VH and (b)VK gene of Mab B.
Figure 5 is shows the nucleotide and protein sequences of the (a) VH and (b)VK gene of Mab C.
Figure 6 is shows the nucleotide and protein sequences of the (a) VH and (b)VK gene of Mab D.
Description The invention relates to murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), A, B, C and D, which are directed against tumor-associated antigens. The nearly complete nucleotide sequences of the V genes of these MAbs are described, so that the relevant variable domains can be put together to give chimeric MAbs, or "humanized" MAbs are obtained by inserting the hypervariable regions (complementarity determining regions = CDR) into a human MAb framework. Antibody constructs of this type can be employed in human therapy and in vivo diagnosis without the disadvantages observed with murine MAbs.
MAb A reacts with antigen 2, MAb B reacts with antigen 11 and MAb C reacts with antigen 7, all of which are described in EP-A2 0,141,079 and are membrane associated antigens on permanent human tumor cells lines such as the CaLu-1, Chago, Oat 75, PaTuII and Bewo cell - 1b -line. MAb D is directed against a Vibrio cholerae neur-aminidase (VCN)-sensitive epitope on the ganalioside GD2 which is exposed on human melanoma cell lines.
MAbs A to D were generated as described in EP-A2 0,141,079 and isolated by standard methods.
MAb A binds to cells of the granulocyte compartment and to carcinomas of the colon, pancreas and some of the lung and breast, as shown in Tab. 1.

and II primary tumors of carcinoma of the pancreas (11/14). Like the primary tumors, most grade I and II
metastases of carcinoma of the pancreas appear to have a positive reaction (3/4). The type of reaction on these positive tissues indicates that the epitope recognized by MAb C is located in the cytoplasm, on the membrane and in the intercellular space.
~(~~.~993 Grade III carcinomas of the pancreas do not express the epitope (primary tumor 0/2, metastases 0/5). However, since grade I and II carcinomas of the pancreas comprise up to 95% of carcinomas of the pancreas, MAb C ought to react with 60-70% of all carcinomas of the pancreas.
Another important property of MAb C is its reactivity with the duct system in the chronically inflamed pancreas (pancreatitis 10/13), whereas there is no detectable binding to healthy exocrine and endocrine pancreatic tissue (0/8). Only a minority of the investigated primary tumors of carcinoma of the colon was reactive (4/14), whereas most of the liver metastases of carcinoma of the colon showed distinct binding (7/10).
Cross-reactivities of MAb C are confined to the mucus-producing goblet cells of the colonic mucosa and of the stomach. All the other normal tissue tested, including peripheral blood leukocytes and bone marrow, do not express the mucus-associated epitope recognized by MAb C
(see Tab. 3). *) see end of page 5!

MAb D recognizes a VCN-sensitive epitope on the ganglio-side GD2 which does not occur on other bovine cerebral gangliosides, including GD3, GM3, GM1, GTla. GDlb. GDla and GM4.

Examples:
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) described by Saiki et al., Science 230, 1350-1354 (1985) was employed herein-after for the cloning and expression of the variable domain of murine immunoglobulins (Ig).
1. Identification of the conserved regions at the 5' and 3' end of the murine heavy Ig chain (VH) and the light Ig chain (VK).
The mutually aligned sequences of the variable regions were taken from the data file of Rabat et al. Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, US Dept. of Health and Human Services, US Government Printing Office (1987).
The nucleotide sequences start there at the amino ter-minus of the mature protein and do not include the signal sequences. Computer screening (DBUTIL, R. Staden (1986) Nucleic Acids Res. 14, 217-231) was used to find suitable primers for cDNA synthesis and amplimers for use in the PCR:

2. cDNA synthesis RNA was prepared from about 3 x 108 cells of the par-ticular hybridomas which secrete MAb A, B, C or D, and poly A+ mRNA was enriched from the latter using oligo dT
Sepharose . The poly A+ mRNA was used for the cDNA syn-thesis. The first strands of cDNA were synthesized using oligonucleotide primers which hybridize in the J region of the V8 nucleotide sequences (oligonucleotide I) and at the 5' end of the kappa C gene nucleotide sequences (oligonucleotide II).
The RNA is then decomposed by NaOH treatment. The second strands of cDNA were synthesized using oligonucleotide primers which hybridize at the 5' ends of the V8 (oligo-nucleotide III) and of the Vkap~ (oligonucleotide IV) nucleotide sequences.
3. Amplification of the synthesized cDNA and sequencing of the variable domains The DNA generated as described in 2. was amplified using oligonucleotides I, III, IV and V (oligonucleotide V
hybridizes in the J region of the V,~p~, nucleotide sequences) and the Taq DNA polymerase from Thermophilus aquatius. A typical mixture contained in 50 11 total volume 5 11 of ds DNA (prepared in 2.), 25 pmol of amplimers, and was 250 1M in each of dATP, dTTP, dCTP and dGTP, 67 mM tris-HC1 pH 8.8, 17 mM (NHa)ZS04, 10 mM MgCl2, 200 1g/ml gelatin and 2 units of Taq polymerase. A layer of liquid paraffin was placed on the mixture and then 25 cycles each of 1 min at 95°C (for denaturation), 1 min at 30°C (hybridization) and 2 min at 72°C (DNA synthesis) were carried out using a Techne PHC-1 programmable heating block.
The oligonucleotides used for the cDNA cloning and amplification contain restriction cleavage sites. The cDNA cloning and the amplification resulted in these restriction cleavage sites being introduced at the 5' end and at the 3' end of the V$ and V,~p~ nucleotide sequences (Pst I and BstEII in Ve and PvuII and BglII in V~p~).
These restriction cleavage sites were then used to clone V$ and VR cDNA fragments in M13 vectors (Lys 19, Lys 17) (Verhoyen et al. Science 239, (1988), 1534-1536).
Finally, the nucleotide sequences of the particular VH and V,~ppa cDNA fragments were determined using the method of Sanger (PNAS, iJSA, 74, 5463-5467, ( 1977 ) ) from the Lys 19 and Lys 17 vectors (see Figures 3, 4, 5, 6).
Examples 4 and 5 shall explain the use of the MAb C
described using MAb C:
Euample 4:
Mab C was fixed to the wells of microtitration plates (Nunc) by adsorption. Into these wells 20 ~C1 sample plus 100 ~1 buffer-solution (OSND, Behringwerke AG) each was pipetted and 2 respective 3 hours incubated. After threefold washing with diluted EnzygnostR washing solu-tion (OSEN, Behringwerke AG) 100 ~1 conjugate-solution was filled into each well. Used here were conjugates of peroxidase with lectin (e. g. wheat germ agglutinin '--WGA) or with other antibodies recognizing different epitopes of the tumor-associated antigens defined by MAb C. The following two or three hours incubation step at 37°C was terminated by 3 wash cycles. For the third incubation step at room temperature 100 ~1 each of a buffer/substrate-chromogene solution (OUVG/OUSF Behring-werke AG) was filled into the wells and the enzyme reaction was terminated after 30 min. with 100 ~1 of stopping solution EnzygnostR (OSFA, Behringwerke AG).
Absorbance of the samples was measured at 450 mm.
result:
The absorbance values determined as shown above correspond to the concentration of the antigens) in the samples. The concentration of the antigen defined by the specific binding of MAb C, in serum or plasma of tumor patients is significantly elevated as compared to said concentration of healthy control persons or patients with benign disease. This is especially true for patients with carcinoma of the pancreas (Fig. 1). In Figure 1 NS signifies serum samples o healthy blood donors (n=141); AP means serum samples of patients with acute pancreatitis (n=56). CP means serum samples of patients which chromic pancreatitin (n=40) and Pan-Ca means patients with carcinome of the pancreas (n-82). A means asorance.
Significantly elevated concentrations were also determined in serum or plasma of patients with carcinoma of the stomach, colon or rectum. Equally good results were obtained irrespective of the conjugate system (antibody-peroxidase or WGA-peroxidase). With the use of MAb C as specific binding-component a sensitive test for tumor markers of especially gastrointestinal tumor disease can be made.
Exaa:pl. 5:
5 ~tg each of MAb C or MAb C 50 as control (Pharmacia;
Holmgren et al. (1984) British Med. J. 288, 1479) were pipeted in 50 ~1 phosphate-buffered-saline (PBS) into a CA 19-9 Test (CA 19-9 EIA "Roche"). The highest standard (100 U/ml) was added before start of the incubation. The tests were perfonaed according to the instructions of the test-kit above and the absorbances of the respective samples were determined.
~tesult:
The additional dilution of the standard-antigen after addition of the PBS-solution reduces the signal of the highest standard even without addition of MAb. No further reduction of the signal results by the presence of MAb C
in the assay. In contrast hereto the signal formation is totally inhibited by MAb C 50, which as is known binds among others specifically to the epitope "sialosyl Lea"
recognized also by MAb 19-9: From the above one may conclude that MAb C recognizes a different epitope as MAb 19-9. (See Fig. 2).
