It is now generally accepted that the cell surface is involved in the interaction of the cells with the extracellular matrix. To identify and characterize cell-surface-associated components of corneal fibroblasts, several monoclonal antibodies were developed. Hybridomas were developed by fusing mouse myeloma cells SP2/OAg14 with spleen cells from mice immunized with membrane fractions of corneal fibroblasts grown in culture. Twenty-five hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies to cell-surface components were selected by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using corneal fibroblasts grown in microtiter plates as the substrate. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that the antigenic determinants recognized by these antibodies were not present on corneal epithelial cells, but were present on skin fibroblasts. The antigenic determinants recognized by two of these antibodies, designated 10D2 and 716, were matrix components of the corneal stroma. Immunochemical characterization of the antigens was carried out by indirect precipitation of the radioactively labeled cellular proteins with the monoclonal antibodies and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis of the precipitates. Four antibodies were able to precipitate antigens from cell extract in detectable amounts. Antibodies designated 5E2, 9G2, and 10D2 recognized antigens consisting of polypeptides of approximate molecular weights 105K and 110K, while antibody 716 recognized an antigen of 100K molecular weight. However, based on the tissue distribution and cell-surface distribution, these antibodies reacted with different antigenic determinants. The antigen recognized by 716 was also secreted by cells in culture but consisted of 220K and 200K polypeptide chains. It was tentatively identified as cellular fibronectin, based on the reaction of this antigen with polyclonal antibodies to plasma fibronectin. 相似文献

Trypanosoma cruzi: antibodies to a MAP-like protein in chronic Chagas' disease cross-react with mammalian cytoskeleton 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Trypanosoma cruzi lambda gt 11 library from epimastogote derived mRNA was screened with human chagasic sera or sera from chronically infected mice. Strong reactive recombinants were detected with both sera. Two recombinant clones were studied in more detail and shown to be composed of the same 114-bp repetitive sequence coding for a 38 amino acid repetition. This repetition is the same size and shares greater than 60% homology with the reported T. brucei microtubule associated protein (MAP) p320. The insert of one of these clones, K1-7 (228 bp), was subcloned into pMSgt11 and the soluble recombinant polypeptide expressed. Antibodies against the K1-7 fusion polypeptide recognized a major 110-kDa band from cytoskeleton. Anti K1-7 monospecific antibodies detected several cytoskeletal proteins from 3T3 fibroblasts and bovine brain microtubule preparations. Reciprocally, anti-MAP1b monoclonal antibodies raised against bovine brain microtubule reacted with the K1-7 polypeptide on Western blots. The protein identified by K1-7 antibodies may be one of the parasite molecules associated to molecular mimicry. 相似文献

Antibodies have been prepared against the three major polypeptides of the nuclear pore complex-lamina fraction from rat liver nuclei. The three antisera prepared in chickens give similar results in indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. In rat embryo fibroblasts we observe bright fluorescence at the level of the nuclear envelope, with no fluorescence of the nuclear interior and little or no fluorescence of the cytoplasm. The nuclear envelope regions of rat hepatoma cells, mouse A9 cells, HeLa cells and rat liver nuclei also fluoresce brightly. HeLa nucleoids, which are depleted of nuclear envelope components, still exhibit specific fluorescence when reacted with these antibodies. Distribution of the antigens changes during mitosis. Fluorescence in the cytoplasm is observed following the breakdown of the nuclear envelope at prometaphase. The antigens appear to progressively accumulate at the periphery of the chromosomes until telophase. In late telophase fluorescence occurs predominantly at the periphery of the chromosomes where the new nuclear envelope is formed. 相似文献

Evolutionary conservation of a germ cell-specific lamin persisting through mammalian spermiogenesis.
We had identified earlier a germ cell-specific lamin of 60 kDa in rat which is related to somatic lamin B. This polypeptide was shown to be the only major component organizing the lamina structure of round spermatids. In the present study, we find that this 60-kDa polypeptide persists in the testicular and epididymal sperms of rat. We also show, by indirect immunofluorescence studies, that the 60-kDa protein is antigenically conserved in the germ cells of grasshopper, rooster, and frog and in plant meiocytes. The distribution of fluorescence among the various germ cell populations shows that the antigen is located around the nuclear cortex of pre- and postmeiotic germ cells, while it is distributed all over the pachytene nuclei. The anti-60-kDa polyclonal antibodies also reacted with a 60-kDa polypeptide in the Western blot analysis of nuclear matrix proteins of grasshopper germ cells. The similar fluorescent localization pattern of the antigen observed in various eukaryotic species strongly suggests that this germ cell-specific lamin may play a very crucial role during meiotic prophase, particularly during homologous chromosome pairing and recombination. 相似文献

Differences in antibody recognition of the triiodothyronine nuclear receptor and c-erbA products 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The in vitro translated products of several c-erbA cDNAs have recently been shown to bind thyroid hormones with high affinity and have been termed thyroid hormone receptors. We have used a panel of five erbA-related antibodies to probe the relationship between c-erbA translated products and thyroid hormone receptors, as conventionally measured by 125I-T3 labeling of nuclear extracts. All five antibodies immunoprecipitated the chick c-erbA translated products, but only one of them recognized chick liver and brain T3 receptor, as judged by acceleration of sedimentation through sucrose gradients. None of the antibodies reacted with rat liver and brain or human liver T3 receptors, although one antibody did immunoprecipitate a human c-erbA translated product. We conclude that the T3 receptor, as conventionally measured from these sources, is related but not identical to recently cloned c-erbA sequences. 相似文献

Several cDNA clones encoding a collagen-binding protein were isolated from human fibroblasts. The cDNA encoded a 417 amino acid protein, containing two potential N-linked oligosaccharide binding sites and a C-terminal RDEL sequence, which has been shown to act as an endoplasmic retention signal in other systems. The derived amino acid sequence of the protein shows close homology with gp46 from rat skeletal myoblasts, J6 protein from mouse F9 embryonal carcinoma cells and hsp47 from chick embryo fibroblasts. It also shows sequence similarity with members of the serpin family. 相似文献

Cytoskeleton of human embryonal carcinoma cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Monoclonal antibodies to cytoskeletal proteins were used to study the intermediate filament proteins of human embryonal carcinoma (EC) cell lines, tumors produced in nude mice from these cell lines, and surgically removed testicular germ cell tumors. It was found that all cells of tumor lines 2102Ep, 1156 and Tera 1 react with antibodies to low molecular weight keratin proteins. By immunoblotting of SDS gels it was found that these lines expressed three keratin polypeptides (40K, 45K and 52K). Clonal line NTera-2 derived from Tera-2 differed from the above listed cell lines in that only 10% of the cells expressed the 40K keratin polypeptide. Upon treatment with retinoic acid 70% of NTera-2 cells became reactive with the antibody to the 40K keratin polypeptide. All cell lines contained a small population of vimentin-positive cells. The number of vimentin-positive cells could be increased by retinoic acid treatment of NTera-2 cells or by seeding the 2102Ep cells at low cell density. Neurofilament-positive cells could be induced in the cell line NTera-2 by retinoic acid treatment. Tumors produced from NTera-2 cells injected into nude mice contained cells reacting with antibodies to keratin, vimentin, neurofilament proteins and desmin. Keratin polypeptides were immunohistochemically demonstrated in embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac carcinoma and trophoblastic components of solid human germ cell tumors. Atypical intratubular cells ('carcinoma in situ') also reacted with antibodies to keratin. 相似文献

Immunological properties of monoclonal antibodies to human and rat prolyl 4-hydroxylase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Monoclonal antibodies to human (8 clones) and rat (12 clones) prolyl 4-hydroxylase [EC 1.14.11.2] were prepared and characterized as regards subclass, subunit specificity, inhibition and crossreactivity. Among the antibodies to the human enzyme, four clones showed the IgG1 subclass, two IgA, one IgG2b, and one IgM. Four clones reacted with the alpha subunit of the enzyme, while the others reacted with the beta subunit. The enzymatic activity was inhibited by four clones. Five clones crossreacted with the rat enzyme. One clone inhibited the rat enzyme. Among the antibodies to the rat enzyme, seven clones showed the IgG1 subclass, four IgG2a and one IgG2b. Seven clones reacted with the alpha subunit, and four with the beta subunit. One reacted with neither subunit. The enzymatic activity was inhibited by seven clones. Seven clones crossreacted with the human enzyme. Three clones inhibited the human enzyme. 相似文献

Polyclonal antibodies were raised in a rabbit against the major proteoglycan of chick sternal cartilage. A total of six antisera was obtained, three after the first booster injection (A1, A2, and A3) and three after the second booster injection (A4, A5, and A6). The A1 antiserum, which was characterized in most detail, immunoprecipitated native as well as chondroitinase ABC-digested or chondroitinase ABC/keratanase-digested cartilage proteoglycan synthesized by cultured chick chondroblasts, but failed to immunoprecipitate the major proteoglycan synthesized by chick skin fibroblasts. This antiserum was also able to immunoprecipitate the cartilage proteoglycan core protein newly synthesized by cultured chondroblasts, but no other major cell protein. However, the late bleed antisera obtained from the same rabbit after a second booster injection reacted with a new chondroblast- specific polypeptide(s) of approximately 60,000 mol wt in addition to the cartilage proteoglycan. By immunofluorescence procedures, the A1 antiserum stained the extracellular proteoglycan matrix of cultured chondroblasts but not that of skin fibroblasts. Following enzymatic removal of the extracellular matrix and cell membrane permeabilization, this antiserum stained primarily a large, juxtanuclear structure. Additional radioautographic evidence suggests that this structure represents the Golgi complex. Similar immunofluorescent staining with antibodies to the cartilage-characteristic Type II collagen revealed that type II procollagen was localized in numerous cytoplasmic, vacuole- like structures which were scattered throughout most of the chondroblast cytoplasm but were notably scanty in the Golgi complex area. In conclusion, our data suggest the transit of the major cartilage proteoglycan through the Golgi complex of cultured chondroblasts and possible differences in the intracellular distribution of newly synthesized cartilage proteoglycan and Type II procollagen. 相似文献

The deposition of intestinal heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) at the epithelial-mesenchymal interface and its cellular source have been studied by immunocytochemistry at various developmental stages and in rat/chick interspecies hybrid intestines. Polyclonal heparan sulfate antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with HSPG purified from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm mouse tumor; these antibodies stained rat intestinal basement membranes. A monoclonal antibody (mAb 4C1) produced against lens capsule of 11-d-old chick embryo reacted with embryonic or adult chick basement membranes, but did not stain that of rat tissues. Immunoprecipitation experiments indicated that mAb 4C1 recognized the chicken basement membrane HSPG. Immunofluorescent staining with these antibodies allowed us to demonstrate that distribution of HSPG at the epithelial-mesenchymal interface varied with the stages of intestinal development, suggesting that remodeling of this proteoglycan is essential for regulating cell behavior during morphogenesis. The immunofluorescence pattern obtained with the two species-specific HSPG antibodies in rat/chick epithelial/mesenchymal hybrid intestines developed as grafts (into the coelomic cavity of chick embryos or under the kidney capsule of adult mice) led to the conclusion that HSPG molecules located in the basement membrane of the developing intestine were produced exclusively by the epithelial cells. These data emphasize the notion already gained from previous studies, in which type IV collagen has been shown to be produced by mesenchymal cells (Simon- Assmann, P., F. Bouziges, C. Arnold, K. Haffen, and M. Kedinger. 1988. Development (Camb.). 102:339-347), that epithelial-mesenchymal interactions play an important role in the formation of a complete basement membrane. 相似文献

Two hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies to proliferating cell nuclear antigen. (PNCA)/cyclin were generated from spleen cells of BALB/c mice immunized with purified PCNA from rabbit thymus. The specificity of the monoclonal antibodies (19A2 and 19F4) was established by showing that they reacted in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with purified PCNA. Furthermore, they reacted in one-dimensional (ID) gel immunoblots with a 36 kD polypeptide which also reacted with human autoantibodies from lupus patients. Both monoclonals also recognized the nuclear polypeptide cyclin in two-dimensional (2D) gel immunoblots of HeLa cell proteins. Epitopes recognized by 19A2 and 19F4 were analysed by competitive inhibition test using a modified ELISA. The data suggested that the epitopes were closely related, but not identical. The data with human auto-antibodies were more difficult to interpret, although it suggested that some human anti-PCNA may share epitopes with 19A2 and 19F4, but in addition recognize different epitopes on the PCNA molecule. 相似文献

Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) purified by various procedures from the human placenta was used to obtain immune antisera with specific antibodies, the antibodies being affinity-purified on UDG-sepharose. Two immunoreactive polypeptides were found in crude extracts of the human placenta with the help of the antibodies. Their apparent molecular masses were about 37,000 and 34,000 dalton. Only the former polypeptide was found in crude extracts of the human embryonal heart, liver and in HeLa cells. The indirect immunofluorescent staining shows both slight and intensive fluorescence of HeLa cell nuclei. The similarity of antigenic properties of the human and rat UDG was confirmed. 相似文献

Two different affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies were prepared against A polypeptides of dynein 1 extracted from sea urchin sperm. These antibodies, named AD1 and AD2, reacted exclusively with the alpha and beta heavy chains of dynein 1. Using these antibodies, we analyzed their cross-reactivity with dynein of mammalian cells. Immunohistochemically, both AD1 and AD2 stained dynein-related structures such as cilia of rabbit tracheal epithelia and flagella of rat spermatozoa. Immunoblots of the proteins extracted from mammalian cilia and flagella revealed the presence of A polypeptide-like proteins which cross-reacted with AD1 and AD2. Immunoblot analysis showed that the cross-reactive proteins were localized to the 370-kDa band of rabbit cilia and the 390- and 350-kDa bands of rat sperms. The reaction patterns showed that there were some differences between the two antibodies. On ciliary protein immunoblots, AD1 recognized about half of the broad band region which reacted with AD2, and AD1 also recognized only the 350-kDa band of the flagella extract, suggesting that the antibody reveals only a beta-like polypeptide. Immunoprecipitation studies using the ciliary proteins and AD2 confirmed that the immunoreactive protein had ATPase activity. Given these results, we have characterized mammalian dyneins previously reported by other laboratories. 相似文献

The 100 A filament subunit proteins of chick fibroblasts and gizzard smooth muscle were compared. These proteins are major cellular components in these cell types, constituting up to 98% of the cell's total protein. Co-electrophoresis of cytoskeletal fractions of fibroblasts and smooth muscle revealed that the subunit proteins differed in their molecular weights: 58,000 daltons in fibroblasts and 55,000 daltons in smooth muscle. Cytoskeletal fractions from other cell types were also examined: chondroblasts contained the 58,000 dalton subunit, and cytoskeletons of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle contained both 55,000 and 58,000 dalton proteins. Chick skin and rat kangaroo Pt K2 cells had more complex subunit patterns which resemble prekeratin. The peptide patterns resulting from proteolytic digestion of the 58,000 dalton protein of fibroblasts, the 55,000 dalton proteins of smooth muscle and PT K2 cells, and chick brain tubulin differed from one another. Two-dimensional electrophoresis of reconstituted gizzard smooth muscle 100 A filaments showed the 55,000 dalton subunit to be composed of two major components, differing in their isoelectric points. Antibodies prepared against electrophoretically purified 55,000 dalton subunit protein reacted in immunodiffusion against the original smooth muscle antigen and cytoskeletal fractions from skeletal and cardiac muscle, but not from fibroblasts, brain, liver, or skin cells. A specific antigenic determinant common to subunit proteins in smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle, is therefore indicated. A previously described antibody against fibroblast subunit protein reacted weakly against smooth muscle filament protein in immunodiffusion revealing the presence of a common antigenic determinant between the two subunit proteins. These data demonstrate striking antigenic and primary structural differences in 100 A filament subunits from even such closely related cell types as fibroblasts on the one hand and muscle cells on the other. 相似文献

Attempts were made to reprogram chick erythrocyte nuclei to specify the synthesis of chick myosin. Chick erythrocytes were fused with rat myogenic cells with the aid of UV-inactivated Sendai virus. In the heterokaryons and hybrid myotubes which resulted from this fusion, the erythrocyte nuclei resumed RNA synthesis and formed nucleoli. Although some new chick antigens developed in those myotubes which contained fully reactivated chick erythrocyte nuclei, accumulation of chick myosin could not be detected by immunological methods. Neither small heterokaryons nor large hybrid myotubes which were actively synthesizing rat myosin reacted with antibodies directed against chick myosin. A small number of mononucleated cells, believed to be synkaryons formed by mitotic division of heterokaryons, did, however, react strongly with antibodies directed against chick myosin and showed a cross striation typical of skeletal muscle. The frequency of such cells was too low, however, to permit karyological analysis or further characterization of the antigen. Hybrids between chick myoblasts and rat myoblasts produced both chick and rat myosin thus indicating that simultaneous translation of chick and rat mRNA for myosin in a common cytoplasm was possible. In summary the evidence obtained suggested that reprogramming of chick erythrocyte nuclei, if it did occur in the present system, was a rare phenomenon.The possibility that hybrids between chick erythrocytes and rat myoblasts expressed markers typical of an erythroid phenotype was examined by immune staining with antibodies directed against chick haemoglobin. The results suggested that haemoglobin was introduced into hybrid cells by erythrocytes which failed to lyse before fusion. The intensity of this immune fluorescence decreased with increasing time after fusion. The rate at which this decrease occurred was not affected by inhibition of RNA synthesis. Thus, there was no evidence for the accumulation of haemoglobin in the hybrid cells. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies against human prolyl 4-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.11.2), an intracellular enzyme of collagen biosynthesis, were produced by fusing spleen cells from BALB/c mice hyperimmunized with human prolyl 4-hydroxylase and mouse myeloma cells (P3/NS 1/1-AG 4-1). Hybridomas from 14 different primary microtiter-plate well cultures produced antibodies to human prolyl 4-hydroxylase; six of them with the highest antibody titer were cloned and antibodies produced by one clone from each of the six lines were further characterized. All of the six cloned hybrids produced antibodies of the IgG class as detected by immunodiffusion. The enzyme antigen used in the present study was a tetramer composed of two pairs of different subunit proteins, alpha and beta. Only one clone which produced antibodies to the alpha subunit was obtained, the other five antibodies being directed against the beta subunit. All the antibodies reacted with the tetramer form of the enzyme. Species cross-reactivity of the antibodies was tested using cultured human, mouse and chick fibroblasts and purified prolyl 4-hydroxylase from chick and mouse sources. None of the antibodies cross-reacted with chick or mouse fibroblasts, as determined by immunofluorescence, whereas one antibody reacted with purified chick and mouse prolyl 4-hydroxylase when examined by the western blotting technique. This antibody caused a strong inhibition of human prolyl 4-hydroxylase activity, but the other five antibodies had negligible inhibitory effect on the activity of the enzyme. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies recognizing different epitopes of the 27-kDa gap junction protein from rat liver 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Monoclonal antibodies (2-3E2, 6-3G11, and 7-3H6) against gap junction plaques purified from rat liver were prepared and characterized. Immunoblot analysis of liver gap junctions revealed that all three antibodies reacted with the 27-kDa protein, but not with the 22-kDa one. The 2-3E2 and 6-3G11 antibodies both reacted with the 27-kDa protein in gap junctions purified from livers of the rat, mouse, rabbit, and guinea pig; the 7-3H6 antibody, however, failed to react with the 27-kDa protein from guinea pig liver. The 7-3H6 antibody reacted strongly with the 24- to 26-kDa degradation products of the 27-kDa protein. Indirect immunofluorescence showed that the 6-3G11 and 7-3H6 antibodies both gave the same specific fluorescence labeling on rat liver cryosections, suggesting that these two antibodies recognized the cytoplasmic sites of the 27-kDa protein. Immunoblot analysis of protease-digested fragments from the 27-kDa protein revealed that the 7-3H6 antibody reacted with the 24- and 17-kDa fragments (including portions of the carboxyl-terminal domain of the 27-kDa protein) produced with endoproteinases Arg-C and Lys-C, respectively. Immunoblot analysis of CNBr fragments of the 27-kDa protein revealed that all three antibodies reacted with the 10-kDa fragment, which is thought to be the carboxyl-terminal domain of the 27-kDa protein. These results demonstrate that three monoclonal antibodies recognize different epitopes of the cytoplasmic sites (probably the carboxyl-terminal domain) of the 27-kDa liver gap junction protein. 相似文献

Antibodies specific for both the F 1 and F 2a-1 calf thymus histone fractions were prepared by use of highly purified histone fractions. With these antibodies, immunofluorescent studies were performed in cultured cells from a Syrian hamster, from human cancer and from rat embryonal cells. Specific staining of nuclei by both of the antibodies was seen in all the cell lines used. In the staining pattern of the cell nucleus, there was a distinct difference between the results obtained from anti-F 1 antibody and from anti-F2a-1 antibody. In the case of the anti-F 1, the nuclei were stained to be coarse-grained or clumped in appearance. However, the result from anti-F 2a-1 showed strong fluorescence in the peripheral part of the nucleus and a faint shaggy appearance in the central part of the nucleus. These differences in the nuclear fluorescent pattern between the results obtained from anti-F 1 antibody and from anti-F 2a-1 antibody were seen in all the cell lines used. 相似文献
