One-step Purification of Guinea Pig Liver Transglutaminase Using a Monoclonal-antibody Immunoadsorbent

Guinea pig liver transglutaminase was purified in a yield of more than 80% by a one-step purification procedure using an immunoadsorbent column of monoclonal antibodies. Active enzyme could be recovered by alkaline buffer desorption and quick neutralization. The purified enzyme was more than 98% homogeneous on Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate, and had the same enzymological and immunological properties as those of the enzyme purified by conventional procedures.     

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.     

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 to Benzodiazepines

Four hybridoma lines secreting monoclonal antibodies to benzodiazepines were produced after BALB/c mice were immunized with a benzodiazepine-bovine serum albumin conjugate. The monoclonal antibodies were purified from ascites fluids, and their binding affinities for benzodiazepines and other benzodiazepine receptor ligands were determined. These antibodies have very high binding affinities for diazepam, flunitrazepam, Ro5-4864, Ro5-3453, Ro11-6896, and Ro5-3438 (the KD values are in the 10(-9) M range). However, these antibodies have low affinities for the benzodiazepine receptor inverse agonists (beta-carbolines) and antagonists (Ro15-1788 and CGS-8216).

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Bovine Brain Succinic Semialdehyde Reductase

Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies against bovine brain succinic semialdehyde reductase were produced and characterized. A total of nine monoclonal antibodies recognizing different epitopes of the enzyme were obtained, of which two inhibited the enzyme activity and three stained cytosol of rat spinal cord neurons as observed by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. When unfractionated total proteins of bovine brain homogenate were separated by gel electrophoresis and immunoblotted, the antibodies specifically recognized a single protein band of 34 kDa, which comigrates with purified bovine succinic semialdehyde reductase. Using the antisuccinic semialdehyde reductase antibodies as probes, we investigated the cross-reactivities of brain succinic semialdehyde reductases from some mammalian and an avian species. The immunoreactive bands on western blots appeared to be the same in molecular mass—34 kDa—in all animal species tested, including humans. The result indicates that brain succinic semialdehyde reductase is distinct from other aldehyde reductases and that mammalian brains contain only one succinic semialdehyde reductase. Moreover, the enzymes among the species are immunologically very similar, although some properties of the enzymes reported previously were different from one another.     

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Wall-Localized Peroxidases from Corn Seedlings

A library of 22 hybridomas, which make antibodies to soluble wall antigens from the coleoptiles and primary leaves of etiolated corn (Zea mays L.) seedlings, was raised and cloned three times by limit dilution to assure monoclonal growth and stability. Two of these hybridomas made immunoglobulin G antibodies, designated mWP3 and mWP19, which both effectively immunoprecipitated peroxidase activity from crude and partially purified preparations of wall peroxidases. Direct peroxidase-binding assays revealed that both antibodies bound enzymes with peroxidase activity. As judged by immunoblot analyses, mWP3 recognized a M_r 98,000 wall peroxidase with an isoelectric point near 4.2, and mWP19 recognized a M_r 58,000 wall peroxidase. Immunogold localization studies showed both peroxidases are predominately in cell walls.     

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.

不同因素诱导豚鼠肝中金属硫蛋白的研究

通过皮下注射的方法诱导豚鼠产生金属硫蛋白（ＭＴ）,研究了重金属元素（Ｃｄ）、微量元素（Ｃｕ,Ｚｎ）及有机试剂（ＣＣｌ４,在体内可产生自由基）等因素的诱导与豚鼠肝脏中ＭＴ不同亚型的含量及金属结合状态的变化关系．实验结果表明,微量元素及有机试剂的诱导可使豚鼠肝脏中ＭＴ１的产量明显高于ＭＴ２,说明在体内ＭＴ１在参与微量元素的储存及清除自由基功能方面比ＭＴ２强．在重金属元素诱导下体内ＭＴ１对重金属元素的结合量远远大于ＭＴ２．表明ＭＴ１的重金属解毒能力比ＭＴ２强．上述实验结果与对不同亚型ＭＴ生物学功能差异的体外研究结果相吻合．此外,无论采用上述何种因素诱导,所得ＭＴ中均结合有Ｃｕ．对Ｃｕ在ＭＴ形成过程中的作用也进行了初步探讨．

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Peripheral and Central Nervous System Myelin

Monoclonal antibodies against P0, myelin basic protein, or myelin-associated glycoprotein were generated by fusing mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with central and peripheral nervous system myelin proteins. The antibodies secreted were either IgG, IgM, or IgA. Clone C6B5 (iso-type IgM) secreted antibody(ies) that bound to both myelin basic protein and myelin-associated glycoprotein, although binding of antibody to myelin basic protein as detected by the immunoblot technique appeared to be much less than to the myelin-associated glycoprotein. Antibodies were characterized in solid-phase radioimmunoassay for their species cross-reaction, and histologically for the specificity of binding to myelin in central and peripheral nervous system tissues. These monoclonal reagents should prove valuable in studying CSF and myelin-producing cells, since in both cases the concentration of myelin proteins is low.     

Activation of Guinea Pig Herpesvirus Antigen in Leukemic Lymphoblasts of Guinea Pig

Herpesvirus (GPHV) antigen is either present in very small amounts, or absent in leukemic lymphoblasts taken directly from strain 2 guinea pigs. However, after maintenance in tissue culture for 72 hr, almost 100% of these lymphoblasts contained GPHV antigen. The expression of GPHV antigen could be demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescent technique as well as by the direct (125)I labeled antibody technique. However, infectious virus or virus capsids could not be detected in these cells either by infectivity tests or electron microscopy.
