Marker for Multiple Myeloma Oncogene

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 28 Oct 2003
A monoclonal mouse antibody specific for the human multiple myeloma oncogene 1 (MUM1) is now available to laboratories.

This antibody is a tool for identifying surviving centrocytes and their progeny, understanding B-cell histogenesis, and characterizing Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells of classic Hodgkin's disease. More...
The antibody also has potential prognostic value since MUM1 expression correlates with clinical outcome in patients. Also, MUM1 will aid in correct tumor subclassification and should be included in routine diagnostic lymphoma marker panels, according to the developer, DakoCytomation (Copenhagen, Denmark).

DakoCytomation is an in vitro diagnostic company specializing in the identification of cancer markers on tissue samples obtained from biopsies and surgery. The company's products help doctors link diagnostic tests with specific therapies, thereby optimizing treatment. DakoCytomation states that it is the first company to offer an in vitro Class 1 antibody against this important antigen that has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and also has the CE mark.
