Background Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE)

Enolase is an enzyme of glycolysis and catalyzes the conversion of 2-phospho-D-glycerate to phosphoenolpyruvate. The cytoplasmic enzyme exists in 3 subunits that occur as homo- (alpha-alpha, beta-beta, gamma-gamma) or heterodimers (alpha-beta, alpha-gamma) in the 5 known isozymes. In liver and gila, alpha-alpha enolase is found, and in skeletal and cardiac muscle, alpha-beta and beta-beta enolase. In contrast, in brain a mixture are the subunits alpha and gamma as – alpha-alpha, alpha-gamma and gamma-gamma dimers. The monoclonal antibody E023 recognizes human gamma-gamma enolase with a molecular weight of about 100kDa.

Specificity

In normal tissues, most neurons and their axonal and dendritic processes stain strongly positive for NSE, with the exception of Purkinje’s cells. Schwann’s cells, cells of the adrenal medulla and paraganglia also contain NSE. Endocrine cells of the skin (Merkel’s cells), respiratory and GI tract epithelium, pituitary parathyroid, pancreas islets, and C cells of the thyroid all stain positive for NSE.
NSE has been demonstrated in ganglioneuromas, neuroblastomas, Schwannomas and malignant melanomas. It is also present in pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas. Carcinoids, medullary thyroid carcinomas, pituitary adenomas, and endocrine tumors of the pancreas and GI tract all show positive immunoreactivity for NSE. NSE is found in neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin (Merkel’s cell tumor) and small cell carcinoma of the lung. A number of non-neuronal and nonendocrine tumors may also express NSE, including meningiomas, astrocytomas, renal cell carcinomas, carcinoma and fibroadenoma of the breast, carcinoma of the ovary, and malignant lymphomas. NSE positivity should not be relied upon entirely as evidence of the neuronal or neuroendocrine differentiation of a given neoplasm.

Fusion Partners

Spleen cells from an immunised BALB/c mouse were fused with cells of the mouse NSI myeloma cell line.
