Laminin receptor 1 precursor protein (37LRP) epitope delineated by an hepatocellular carcinoma specific antibody

A process for differentiation, treatment, or diagnostic imaging of cells which express 37LRP comprising:

• providing a sample of said cells;
• providing a conjugated moiety including an isolated monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof, said isolated monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof being an isolated monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof which binds to an expressed 37LRP antigenic moiety, said antigenic moiety characterized as being bound by the isolated monoclonal antibody produced by the hybridoma deposited with the ATCC as PTA-5690, said isolated monoclonal antibody or antigenic binding fragment thereof being conjugated with at least one member selected from the group consisting of drugs, toxins, enzymes, or radioactive compounds;
• whereby binding of said conjugated moiety with said cells results in differentiation, treatment, or diagnostic imaging of said cells.
