Specificity

123C3 was defined as a cluster I antibody during the First International Workshop on Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) Antibodies. 123C3 recognizes an epitope in the NCAM exons 11-13 which is dependent on an intact conformation of the first fibronectin type-III homologous domain encoded by these exons. 123C3 stains NCAM which is present in small cell lung cancer and lung carcinoids. It also reacts with a number of non-small cell lung carcinomas and neuroendocrine and neuronal derived tissues. In addition, 123C3 is internalized after binding to its antigen on SCLC cell lines, making it an excellent reagent for tumor imaging in xenograft models.
