L55-81 reacts positively to melanoma cell lines with high GM2 expression (M14; M24), and shows no binding to normal cell types or cell lines M15 or M25 which have low GM2 expression and high GM3 expression. This specificity can be confirmed by ELISA and TLC immunostaining by testing a variety of gangliosides and neutral glycolipids. L55-81 is able to lyse cells from the M14 melanoma cell line (which has high GM2 expression) in the presence of human or rabbit complement, but not in the absence of complement - this was shown by a [51Cr] release assay. Biotinylated L55-81 has been used for IHC of acetone-fixed sections of tumor tissue in an avidin-biotin complex immunoperoxidase system. Statistically significant positive staining (determined by Fisher's exact test) was displayed with melanoma, colon carcinoma and ovary carcinoma tumor tissues. Staining has also be observed with breast carcinoma, prostate carcinoma and kidney carcinoma.
