Lactadherin, a major glycoprotein of the human milk fat globule membrane, is abundant in
human breast milk and expressed in human breast carcinomas. Previously, we have shown …

Human milk contains many components that protect the newborn against infection at a time
when the infant's own defense mechanisms are poorly developed. Fat is one of the major …

The human milk fat globule has proved to be a good source of antigenic material for
production of antibodies against surface components of breast epithelial cells. Monoclonal …

Rabbit antibodies against components of the human milk fat globule bind specifically to normal
human breast epithelial cells and cell lines derived from breast carcinomas, as well as to …

Human milk fat globule (HMFG) glycoproteins can prevent infections by microorganisms in
breast-fed infants; the MUC-1 mucin inhibits binding of S-fimbriated Escherchia coli to buccal …

Hybridomas have been prepared that secrete monoclonal antibodies against three different
surface antigens of normal human mammary epithelial cells by fusion of mouse myeloma …

Heterologous specific antisera against human mammary epithelial antigens (HME-Ags),
which are present in the human milk fat globule membrane and breast epithelial cells, were …

JSreast cancer strikes 182,000 people yearly in the United States, and 46,000 deaths a year
are attributable to this disease (/). Patients with localized disease can be cured by surgery …

The BA46 antigen of the human milk fat globule (HMFG) membrane is expressed in human
breast carcinomas and has been used successfully as a target for experimental breast …

The MUC1 mucin, lactadherin, and butyrophilin are 3 major components of the human milk
fat globule membrane. The mucin inhibits binding of S-fimbriatedEscherichia callto buccal …
