Abstract
Laboratory tests have demonstrated, during the past years, the existence of several breast cancer associated antigens. Recently, the development and the application of monoclonal antibody (MAb) techniques have facilitated the identification of various breast cancer associated antigens (Kufe et al., 1984; Hilkens et al., 1985; Iacobelli et al., 1985; White et al., 1985; Bray et al., 1987; Cohen et al., 1987). The different epitopes are usually carried by mucinous substances, which belong to a polymorphic family of glycoproteins produced by the glandular mucinous epitelia ?Smets and Van Beek, 1984; Feizi, 1985; Hakomori, 1989).
