Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies Against Myelin-Associated Glycoprotein

Monoclonal antibodies against myelin-associated glycoprotein were generated by fusing mouse myeloma cells with spleen lymphocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with human myelin-associated glycoprotein purified from CNS myelin. Three groups of antibodies were identified: IgG antibodies recognizing the polypeptide moiety and IgG and IgM antibodies recognizing the carbohydrate moiety of the intact molecule. Properties of these antibodies were examined with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the immunostaining technique using human CNS and peripheral nerve myelin, and ganglioside fractions isolated from human brain and peripheral nerve, and with immunohistochemical staining of human peripheral nerves. Part of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells was stained with the antibodies against the carbohydrate moiety, but not with IgG antibodies recognizing the polypeptide moiety. Natural killer activity was partially reduced after treatment of human peripheral blood lymphocytes with an IgM antibody and complement in vitro. The possibility that anti-myelin-associated glycoprotein antibodies might play a role in the pathogenesis of demyelinating diseases through modification of natural killer activity is discussed.

Zusammenfassung Produktion monoklonaler Antikorper gegen das Banana Bunchy Top Virus und ihre Anwendung in einem Enzym-gekoppelten Immunosorbentassay
Nach einer Immunisierung von Balb/s-Mausen mit gereinigtem Banana Bunchy Top Virus (BBTV) wurde in allen 480 Vertiefungen aus einer Fusion Hybridomas gefunden. Aucerdem wurde in 92% der Kulturflussigkeiten dieser Vertiefungen eine positive Reaktion gegen das BBTV durch Plate Trapped Antigen (PTA) ELISA (auch als indirekter ELISA bekannt) festgestellt. Nach einer dritten Uberprufung behielten 84 Hybridomazellinien ibre Fahigkeit, BBTV-spezifische Antikorper zu produzieren. Durch das Klonen dieser Hybridomas bei limitierender Verdunnung zu einzelnen Zellen wurden 58 monoklonale Zellinien erhalten, die in der Lage waren, BBTV-spezifische Antikorper zu produzieren. Die von diesen monoklonalen Hybridomas produzierten Antikorper waren hauptsachlich vom Isotyp lgG2a. Die Antikorpertiter im Kulturzelluberstand und in der ascitischen Flussigken betrugen bei einem Klon 10⁴ bzw, 10⁴, und bei einem anderen Klon sogar 10⁴ bzw. 10⁴. Hybridomas produzierten 40- bis 62fach mehr anti-BBTV spezifische Antikorper in Mausasciten als in Kultur. Die minimale. aktive Konzentration gereinigtes Immunoglobulin, von drei Hybridomas produziert, lag im Bereich von 0.03 bis 0.06 μg/ml dagegen wurde eine minimale durch PTA ELISA ertacbare Konzentration von BBTV-Antigen von 0.26 μg/ml ermittelt. Antibody Trapped Antigen (ATA) ELISA (auch als direkter ELISA bekannti war bei der Ermittlung von BBTV 16fach empfindlicher als PTA ELISA. Obwobl PTA ELISA das BBTV im Rohextrakt des erkrankten Gewebes nicht ertassen konnte, war es mit ATA ELISA moglich das Vorhandensein des Virus auch in 1: 512 verdunntem Extrakt zu errnitteln.     

Production and Use of Monoclonal Antibodies to Pseudomonas andropogonis

Pseudomonas andropogonis is an important pathogen of worldwide distribution in ornamental and other plant species from 15 families. This paper reports the production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to P. andropogonis and evaluation of their use in the detection of the pathogen in carnation cuttings. Ten stable hybridoma cell lines were produced. Results of indirect ELISA and indirect immuno-fluorescence showed that MAb 6B3 was specific for P. andropogonis; MAb 3D5W1 reacted with both P. andropogonis and P. caryophylli; six other MAbs reacted with all strains of seven species of rRNA group II pseudomonads tested except P. solanacearum and P. pickettii. Eight of the ten MAbs failed to cross-react with other non-fluorescent or fluorescent pseudomonads, xanthomonads and other bacteria tested. P. andropogonis was similar in protein profile to other rRNA group II pseudomonads tested except P. solanacearum and P. pickettii. Epitopes were clearly located within the cell by immunogold labelling. Of four MAbs that were isotyped, two possessed IgGl and two the IgM heavy chain. P. andropogonis was readily detected by combining immunofluorescence and detached carnation leaf assay using an initial inoculum of 4 × 10° colony forming units (cfu) ml^?1 after enrichment at room temperature for 4 days.

Monoclonal Antibodies to Substance P: Production, Characterization of Their Fine Specificities, and Use in Immunocytochemistry

Five hybrid clones secreting antibodies to the neuropeptide substance P have been obtained by somatic cell fusion of mouse myeloma cells with splenocytes from immunized mice of the Biozzi strain. To perform rapid and sensitive screening tests as well as to study the fine specificities of each monoclonal antibody, we developed a new enzyme immunoassay of substance P using acetylcholinesterase as label. All five monoclonal antibodies were directed to the C-terminal pentapeptide of substance P, especially to the Phe7 residue. They cross-reacted with neurokinin A and to some extent with neurokinin B but not with other nontachykinin mammalian peptides. One monoclonal antibody (SP 14) was used for immunocytochemical experiments in the rat spinal cord and spinal ganglion, both at the light and electron microscopic levels. A strong specific neurokinin-like immunoreactivity was observed in cell bodies, nerve fibers, and terminals, with a very low background staining. Finally, the affinities of several analogues of substance P for SP 14 monoclonal antibody were shown to be correlated with their biological activities, as measured by their hypotensive effects in vivo. These findings suggested a strong structural resemblance between the combining site of the antibody and that of the physiological substance P receptor.

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Potato Virus A

Abstract Purified potato virus A (PVA) was used for immunization to produce monoclonal antibodies (MAb). The type of ELISA with purified PVA or non–purified PVA, played an essential role in selecting MAb with different specificity.
Two MAb's (MAb–1 and MAb–2) were selected, using indirect ELISA (I–ELISA) with purified PVA. Competition experiments suggested that MAb–1 and MAb–2 reacted with the same epitope on purified PVA (epitope 1). ELISA, IEM and SDS–PAGE–immunoblotting experiments showed that epitope–1 was only present on purified PVA but not on non–purified PVA, suggesting that this epitope was introduced during the purification. Assays at different steps during purification indicated that epitope–1 was only exposed after plant components and reducing agents were removed from the PVA extract.
Three MAb's (MAb–3, MAb–4 and MAb–5) were selected by indirect double antibody sandwich ELISA (IDAS–ELISA) with non–purified PVA. These MAb's reacted in I–ELISA or IDASELISA with purified PVA as well as with non–purified PVA and might be useful for routine diagnosis. MAb–3, 4 and 5 cross–reacted with some other potyviruses in I–ELISA and in IDAS–ELISA. MAb–1 cross–reacted with 5 out of 7 other potyviruses in I–ELISA, but not in IDAS–ELISA.     

Monoclonal Antibodies Against Glutaraldehyde-Conjugated Dopamine

Four mice were immunized with dopamine (DA)-glutaraldehyde (G)--protein conjugates over a period of 8-10 weeks. Polyclonal antisera, obtained at various intervals, were tested using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All had anti-conjugated DA antibodies. As soon as good antibody affinity was detected between 10(-10) and 10(-6) M, the mouse yielding the highest apparent affinity was killed, and the spleen was dissected out. Hybridomas were obtained from spleen cells fused with SP2/O/Ag myeloma cells. Supernatant culture media of hybridomas were tested for the presence of anti-conjugated DA antibodies with the ELISA method. Selected hybridomas giving good antibody affinity and specificity were then cloned by the limiting dilution technique. The resulting supernatant culture media were again tested by ELISA. Clones that gave a high antibody affinity (10(-10)-10(-8)M) for G-conjugated DA were used for histochemical localization of DA in rat brain. G-fixed rat brains were sectioned from the telencephalon to the mesencephalon, reduced with sodium borohydride, and prepared for peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocytochemistry using supernatant (diluted 1:100) or ascites fluid (diluted 1:50,000). Dense networks of very fine fibers were observed in the striatum, septum, and cortex. Numerous immunoreactive cell bodies were found in the ventral tegmental area, the substantia nigra, the hypothalamus, and the dorsal raphe. The ELISA tests and adsorption controls suggested that the monoclonal antibody allowed highly specific detection of DA in tissues.     

Production of Polyclonal and Monoclonal Antibodies Against Hyphae from Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi

Abstract

Polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies were produced against hyphae of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus monosporum. The polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) were raised in a rabbit by immunizing with hyphae. They were tested for their specificity by a dot-immunoblot assay (DIBA). After the third immunization, a distinct difference in the signal strength was observed between the antisera and the preimmune serum. The pAbs showed cross-reactions to a number of fungal species, both mycorrhizal and other. For the production of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), mice were immunized intraperitoneally with hyphae. The resulting hybridoma cell culture supernatants were tested by an indirect immunolabeling procedure. For this purpose the hyphae were immobilized on silane-coated microscopic slides. The mAb 8A7 reacted with hyphae from all Glomus isolates tested so far. Cross-reactivities were not observed with hyphae from fungi of the family Acaulosporaceae, phytopathogenic fungi tested so far, or from spores from Glomus species.     

Production and Preliminary Application of Monoclonal Antibodies Against Paulownia Witches' Broom MLO

Monoclonal antibodies against mycoplasma-like organisms (MLO) associated with paulownia witches’broom (PWB) were produced by using partially purified preparations from diseased paulownia. Splenic cells from immunized mice were fused with sp2/0murine myeloma cells. Screened by indirect ELISA using partially purified PWB-MLO and healthy paulownia extracts as detecting antigens, two hybridoma clones that stably secreted specific antibodies against PWB-MLO were obtained from 459 clones of four successful fusions. The monoclonal antibodies were isotyped and determined to be immunoglubin classes IgG2a and IgG3. Antibody titers of ascitic fluids were both over 1.6 × 104 assayed by indirect ELISA. Priliminary application on several specimens proved that they were the monoclonal antibodies against PWB-MLO.     

Production and Preliminary Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies against Cationic Peanut Peroxidase

Ten monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) have been produced against the cationic peroxidase from peanut suspension cell culture. Eight of these antibodies were found to be of the immunoglobulin (Ig)G₁ subclass and two were of IgA subclass. A combination of competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blotting analysis, and direct antigen-binding assay revealed that the antibodies are directed against four different epitopes on the cationic peroxidase and the McAbs can be subdivided into four groups. Only group A inhibits peroxidase activity. Group B and D bind equally well to the native and the denatured form of cationic peroxidase, whereas the remaining McAbs react with more or less reduced affinity to the denatured antigen. Group C probably recognizes a conformation-dependent epitope. All the McAbs cross react weakly with the anionic peanut peroxidase, suggesting a structural nonidentity as well as some similarity between these two peroxidase isozymes. Cross reactivities of these McAbs with peroxidases of various plant species were also demonstrated.     

Production and Characterization of Two Monoclonal Antibodies Specific for Plasmopara halstedii

Sunflower downy mildew, caused by the fungus Plasmopara halstedii, is a potentially devastating disease. We produced two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) (12C9 and 18E2) by immunizing mice with a partially purified extract of P. halstedii race 1. Both MAbs detected in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) all races of P. halstedii present in France. No cross-reactions were observed with Plasmopara viticola or with other fungi commonly associated with sunflowers. Both MAbs recognized the same three fungal antigens with molecular masses of 68, 140, and 192 kDa. However, the epitopes on the fungal antigens were distinct and repetitive. Seed homogenates from infected plants were incubated in wells coated with MAb 18E2. This resulted in the trapping of P. halstedii antigens that were identified with biotinylated MAb 12C9. No reactions were seen with seed homogenates from healthy plants. Thus, our results suggest that these MAbs might be used to develop a sandwich ELISA detection system for P. halstedii in infected seeds.     

Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies Directed Against the Rat Neurotensin Receptor NTS1

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins that mediate cellular responses to a variety of ligands and represent major drug targets. Despite their medical importance, detailed structural information is limited because only one GPCR has been crystallized and its structure determined. To develop tools to aid in the formation of well-ordered crystals, we generated monoclonal antibodies with high affinity to the rat neurotensin receptor. All antibodies bound to the C-terminus of the receptor, which may reflect the selection strategy used to identify high-affinity binders. Further characterization revealed that some antibodies bound to the receptor in a sodium chloride sensitive manner, but others did not. Epitope mapping revealed distinct antigenic regions within the receptor C-terminus. Tight binding of Fab fragments to the receptor was verified by size exclusion chromatography.     

Production and Use of Monoclonal Antibodies against Rice Embryo Lipoxygenase-3

A DNA fragment coding for a part of a putative phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase was cloned from Schizosaccharomyces pombe by cross-hybridization with Saccharomyces cerevisiae VPS34 gene, a yeast homologue of mammalian PI-3 kinase. The clone contained an open reading frame of 797 amino acids but lacked the initiation codon, ATG. The predicted amino acid sequence was homologous to those of S. cerevisiae VPS34 and mammalian PI-3 kinase genes. Disruption of the gene resulted in extremely low levels of PI-3-P and higher levels of PI-4-P, supporting the idea that the gene codes for the PI-3 kinase of S. pombe. The disruptants harbored large vacuoles and were sensitive to stresses such as high temperature or high concentration of monovalent and divalent cations.
