Tumor-associated glycoprotein 72
Tumor-associated glycoprotein 72 (TAG-72) is a glycoprotein found on the surface of many cancer cells, including ovary, [citation needed]
breast, colon, lung, and pancreatic cancers.
TAG-72 is a tumor marker measured with radioimmunoassays like CA 72-4, which uses the monoclonal antibodies indium (111In) satumomab pendetide and iodine (125I) minretumomab.
TAG-72 is also the target of the anti-cancer drugs anatumomab mafenatox and minretumomab.
