- Twelve research groups participated in the ISOBM TD-3 Workshop in which the reactivity and specificity of 83 antibodies against prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were investigated. Using a variety of techniques including cross-inhibition assays, Western blotting, BIAcore, immunoradiometric assays and immunohistochemistry, the antibodies were categorized into six major groups which formed the basis for mapping onto two- and three-dimensional (2-D and 3-D) models of PSA. The overall findings of the TD-3 Workshop are summarized in this report. In agreement with all participating groups, three main antigenic domains were identified: free PSA-specific epitopes located in or close to amino acids 86-91; discontinuous epitopes specific for PSA without human kallikrein (hK2) cross-reactivity located at or close to amino acids 158-163; and continuous or linear epitopes shared between PSA and hK2 located close to amino acids 3-11. In addition, several minor and partly overlapping domains were also identified. Clearly, the characterization of antibodies from this workshop and the location of their epitopes on the 3-D model of PSA illustrate the importance of selecting appropriate antibody pairs for use in immunoassays. It is hoped that these findings and the epitope nomenclature described in this TD-3 Workshop are used as a standard for future evaluation of anti-PSA antibodies.

- Four bands of enhanced dipole transitions, with weak crossovers, have been observed in Pb-195. Three of these bands are connected to the spherical levels. in addition, the spherical level scheme has been extended. The nuclear spectroscopy was done with the early implementation of GAMMASPHERE and HERA arrays of Get detectors. The nucleus Pb-193 was populated in the Yb-174(Mg-24,5n) reaction at beam energies of 129, 131, and 134 MeV. The experimental results are compared to tilted-axis cranking calculations. The systematical behavior of the dipole bands in the heavier odd-A Pb isotopes, Pb-195,Pb-197,Pb-199,Pb-201, is also discussed.

Characterization of chromosomal abnormalities in prostate cancer cell lines by spectral karyotyping
- 1999

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Human prostate cancer is characterized by multiple gross chromosome alterations involving several chromosome regions. However, the specific genes involved in the development of prostate tumors are still largely unknown. Here we have studied the chromosome composition of the three established prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP, PC-3, and DU145, by spectral karyotyping (SKY). SKY analysis showed complex karyotypes for all three cell lines, with 87, 58/113, and 62 chromosomes, respectively. All cell lines were shown to carry structural alterations of chromosomes 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 15, and 16; however, no recurrent breakpoints were detected. Compared to previously published findings on these cell lines using comparative genomic hybridization, SKY revealed several balanced translocations and pinpointed rearrangement breakpoints. The SKY analysis was validated by fluorescence in situ hybridization using chromosome-specific, as well as locus-specific, probes. Identification of chromosome alterations in these cell lines by SKY may prove to be helpful in attempts to clone the genes involved in prostate cancer tumorigenesis.
