Monoclonal antibodies against a beta-galactoside-binding lectin of chick embryo
Authors:Y Oda  J Hirabayashi  K Kasai
Abstract:Monoclonal antibodies against an endogenous beta-galactoside-binding lectin (monomer molecular weight 14,000, 14K lectin) of chick embryo were prepared and characterized. The inhibitory activities against hemagglutination, antigenic determinants and binding specificities were examined. Monoclonal antibody S1A4-5 strongly inhibited the hemagglutination activity of this lectin. This antibody did not bind to any cyanogen bromide (BrCN) fragment of the lectin. Another monoclonal antibody, S1A4-3, bound to one of the BrCN fragments (residues 34-66). However, this antibody inhibited hemagglutination only weakly. The bindings to isolectins of beta-galactoside-binding lectin, namely 14K lectin (monomer molecular weight 16,000) and a third species which is assumed to be a hybrid molecule consisting of 14K and 16K lectin subunits, were examined. The antibody SIA4-5 bound to 14K lectin but not to 16K lectin. In the case of the third species, intermediate binding was observed.
