Apparently the antibody has been around for 1/4 of a century now:

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Clin Immunol Immunopathol. 1984 Nov;33(2):268-81.

[One] hybridoma, designated F77-129, was extensively purified and used to characterize a PC-3 antigen.

One wonders what motivated them to look back at "the freezer" after all these years.

For a number of reasons (glycolipid target, antibody tested is a mouse IgG3, etc) "grain of salt" is right. The naked antibody works impressively as monotherapy in a couple of xenograft prostate cancer mouse models, so, yes, it is worth exploring.

Greene likes to claim some credit, I guess deserved to some degree, on the HER2 (Herceptin) story, FWIW.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (p185 is an older name for HER2)
