    Abstract: The present invention provides recombinant CEA glycoproteins and methods for their production. These recombinant CEA glycoproteins s lack the C-terminal 26 amino acids which are present in natural CEA and are characterized in that they are free from cross-reactive CEA-like antigens, antigenically indistingiushable from the soluble form of CEA shed from tumor cells, and devoid of the ethanolamine which is present at the C-terminus of natural CEA, and also devoid of the additional amino acids which may be attached to the natural CEA through said ethanolamine. Said recombinant CEA glycoproteins s preferably have the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 1. The CEA glycoproteins s of the invention may be used as reagents in an immunoassay for the diagnosis of neoplastic diseases. The invention also relates to a DNA encoding said recombinant CEA glycoprotein, such as the DNA having the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO: 2 or a functional equivalent sequence thereof. The present invention also relates to recombinant vectors comprising said DNA, which recombinant vector is capable of directing the expression of said DNA in a compatible host cell, and to transformed host cells containing such a recombinant vector. The recombinant CEA glycoprotein of the present invention, preferably integrated in a test-kit, may be used for determining the presence of tumor cells in a sample of body fluid.

    Abstract translation: 本发明提供重组CEA糖蛋白及其生产方法。 这些重组CEA糖蛋白缺乏存在于天然CEA中的C-末端26个氨基酸,其特征在于它们不具有从可溶形式从肿瘤细胞中流出的CEA抗原性不可抵抗的交叉反应性CEA-样抗原,以及 没有存在于天然CEA的C末端的乙醇胺,也没有可以通过所述乙醇胺与天然CEA连接的另外的氨基酸。 所述重组CEA糖蛋白优选具有SEQ ID NO:1的氨基酸序列。本发明的CEA糖蛋白可用作用于诊断肿瘤疾病的免疫测定中的试剂。 本发明还涉及编码所述重组CEA糖蛋白的DNA,例如具有核苷酸序列SEQ ID NO:2的DNA或其功能等同序列。 本发明还涉及包含所述DNA的重组载体,所述重组载体能够引导所述DNA在相容宿主细胞中的表达,以及含有这种重组载体的转化宿主细胞。 优选整合在试验盒中的本发明的重组CEA糖蛋白可用于测定体液样品中肿瘤细胞的存在。
