Objective: To study the effect of McAb PD4 on the cell cycle and on cell injury in the gastric carcinoma cell line,MGC-803. Methods: The effects of McAb PD4 on cell proliferation cycle and cell injury of MGC-803 cells were examined by flow cytometry analysis, DNA electrophoresis and terminal deoxynucle otidyl transferase assay. Fas antigen was investigated by ELISA.Results: McAb PD4 inhibited tumor-growth of MGC-803cells in nude mice by inducing apoptosis. Conclusion:P40 is a tumor-associated antigen distinct from the Fas antigen. Molecular cloning of P40 will define the pathway and mechanism of apoptosis induced by McAb PD4.Induction of apoptosis by McAb PD4 may be a useful therapeutic approach in treating cancer.
