The interaction between two different monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) and their corresponding bispecific antibodies (Babs) with immobilized antigens was investigated using an optical biosensor (IAsys). The analyzed panel of affinity-purified antibodies included two parental Mabs (one of which was specific to human IgG (hIgG), and another one to horseradish peroxidase (HRP)), as well as Babs derived thereof (anti-hIgG/HRP). Babs resulting from the fusion of parental hybridomas bear two antigen-binding sites toward two different antigens and thus may interact with immobilized antigen through only one antigen-binding site (monovalently). Using an IAsys biosensor this study shows that the bivalent binding of Mabs predominates over the monovalent binding with immobilized HRP, whereas anti-hIgG parental Mabs were bound monovalently to the immobilized hIgG. The observed equilibrium association constant (K ass) values obtained in our last work [1] by solid-phase radioimmunoassay are consistent with those constants obtained by IAsys. The K ass of anti-HRP Mabs was about 50 times higher than that of anti-HRP shoulder of Babs. The dissociation rate constant (k diss) for anti-HRP shoulder of Babs was 21 times higher than k diss for anti-HRP Mabs. The comparison of the kinetic parameters for bivalent anti-HRP Mabs and Babs derived from anti-Mb/HRP and anti-hIgG/HRP, allowed to calculate that 95% of bound anti-HRP Mabs are bivalently linked with immobilized HRP, whereas only 5% of bound anti-HRP Mabs are monovalently linked. In general, the data obtained indicate that Babs bearing an enzyme-binding site may not be efficiently used instead of traditional antibody–enzyme conjugates in the case of binding of bivalent Mabs.  相似文献

Identification of mutans streptococci with monoclonal antibodies   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Mutans streptococci have been correlated with dental caries. The identification of the species within this group is still a problem. The characterization of a monoclonal antibody (Mab) OMVU10 against S. sobrinus as well as the isolation and characterization of Mabs against S. mutans (OMVU30 and OMVU31), S. cricetus (OMVU40) and mutans streptococci (OMVU2) is described. The epitope specificity for OMVU10 and OMVU31 was cell-wall antigen B in both cases although both Mabs recognized different species-specific epitopes. OMVU40 was cross reactive with Steptococcus sanguis taxon 3. All other Mabs were specific for one species. Using these Mabs, a key to the identification of mutans streptococci is developed. This key was tested for 85 wild type isolates of mutans streptococci and proved to be highly reliable and easy to perform.  相似文献

The ability of bispecific antibodies (Babs) formed by fusion of hybridomas and parent monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to interact with the solid phase-adsorbed antigens was studied. Mabs specific to the three different antigens [horseradish peroxidase (HRP), human IgG (hIgG), and human myoglobin (Mb)] as well as Babs with the double specificity [antimyoglobin/antiperoxidase (anti-Mb/HRP) and anti-human IgG/antiperoxidase (anti-hIgG/HRP)] were used. It was shown by radioimmunological and immunoenzyme assays that parent Mabs bind to solid phase-adsorbed antigens considerably more effectively than Babs. The observed equilibrium binding constant (K a) of antiperoxidase parental Mabs to immobilized HRP is 21 and 38 times higher than K afor Babs binding sites (anti-Mb/HRP and anti-hIgG/HRP, respectively) to peroxidase. It was calculated that about 90–95% of all bound parental antiperoxidase Mabs were associated with immobilized HRP bivalently, and only about 5–10% were bound monovalently. On the contrary, parental Mabs against hIgG bind to the sorbed antigen essentially only monovalently. It was also shown that the avidity of anti-Mb/HRP Babs significantly increased when two antigens, Mb and HRP, were simultaneously adsorbed on the solid phase. These data imply that Babs bearing an enzyme-binding site (for example, binding to HRP) cannot be more effective than standard conjugates (e.g., enzyme-conjugated antibodies) in heterogeneous noncompetitive immunoassays.  相似文献

The growth-associated protein B-50 also termed GAP-43, F1, pp46, P-57 and neuromodulin is a nervous tissuespecific protein kinase C (PKC) substrate that is considered to play a major role in neurite formation, regeneration, and neuroplasticity. We describe the isolation of seven mouse monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) directed against B-50. The Mabs are produced against the bovine B-50, selected by ELISA for cross-reactivity with its human counterpart, and evaluated on Western blots in comparison with the well-characterized affinity-purified rabbit polyclonal antibodies to rat-B-50. The Western blots show that the Mabs NM1, NM4, and NM6 recognize specifically the B-50 of bovine, human, and rat brain extract and the purified PKC phosphorylated and unphosphorylated rat B-50 isoforms. The Mabs NM2 and NM3 cross-react with bovine B-50 immunoreactive c-kinase substrate (BICKS), a protein sharing a 17 amino acid sequence homology with B-50. Two Mabs are useful for the detection of B-50 immunoreactivity in formalin-fixed human and rat brain tissues. In human specimen of the hippocampus, a characteristic neuropil distribution of B-50 is detected by the Mabs. In human muscle, Mabs reveal B-50 in nerve bundles and in axons at motor end plates. Thus, these Mabs are useful in investigating the function and localization of the B-50 protein.  相似文献

The ability of five monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) raised against a pathogenic Saprolegnia parasitica isolate from brown trout to detect and differentiate between isolates with bundles of long hairs (S. parasitica) and other Saprolegnia species was determined by means of an indirect immunofluorescence assay. Four of the Mabs used recognized some of the long-haired S. parasitica isolates but also cross-reacted with other Saprolegnia species without bundles of hairs and with Achlya sp. The other Mab (named 18A6) was able to differentiate between the asexual and most of the sexual isolates in the group of long-haired S. parasitica isolates, but did not recognize Achlya sp. or the Saprolegnia species without bundles of hairs, with the exception of S. hypogyna. These results indicate that isolates with bundles of long hairs are closely related with other members of genus Saprolegnia and share several antigens. However, Mab 18A6 seems to recognize an epitope that is expressed mainly in the asexual isolates in the long-haired S. parasitica isolates.  相似文献

Aims: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) against intimin in the detection of enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli isolates using immunoblotting. Methods and Results: Polyclonal and Mabs against the intimin‐conserved region were raised, and their reactivities were compared in enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) isolates using immunoblotting analysis. In comparison with rat antiserum, rabbit anti‐intimin IgG‐enriched fraction had a stronger recognition pattern to a wide spectrum of intimin types in different EPEC and EHEC serotypes. On the other hand, murine monoclonal IgG2b specific to intimin, with dissociation constant of 1·3 × 10?8 mol l?1, failed in the detection of some of these isolates. Conclusion: All employed antibodies showed 100% specificity, not reacting with any of the eae‐negative isolates. The sensitivity range was according to the employed antisera, and 97% for rabbit anti‐intimin IgG‐enriched fraction, followed by 92% and 78% sensitivity with rat antisera and Mab. Significance and Impact of the Study: The rabbit anti‐intimin IgG‐enriched fraction in immunoblotting analysis is a useful tool for EPEC and EHEC diagnoses.  相似文献

To investigate the interaction between white spot syndrome virus (WSSV)-VP37 and gill membrane proteins (GMPs) of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), the VP37 protein was expressed and purified, and a distinct 53 kDa VP37-binding protein band was identified in GMPs by virus overlay protein binding assay and GST pull-down assay. By electroelution, the VP37 binding protein was purified and identified as F1ATP synthase β (F1ATPase β) subunit by Mass Spectrometry. The purified F1ATPase β subunit was used to immunize BALB/C mice to produce monoclonal antibodies (Mabs). After cell fusion, sixteen hybridomas secreting Mabs against F1ATPase β subunit of L. vannamei were screened by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA), three of which designated as 1D5, 1E8 and 2H4 were cloned by limiting dilution and further characterized by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIFA) and western blotting. The results of IIFA showed that specific fluorescence signals located at the peripheral zone of the gills of L. vannamei. Western blotting demonstrated that three Mabs reacted specifically with the 53 kDa protein band in GMPs of L. vannamei. By IIFA, the Mabs could also cross-react with the gill cells of three other WSSV-susceptible shrimps Fenneropenaeus chinensis, Penaeus monodon and Marsupenaeus japonicus. Furthermore, the three anti-F1ATPase β subunit Mabs could partially block the binding of WSSV to GMPs by ELISA in vitro, and also exhibited direct anti-WSSV activity in shrimp by neutralization assay in vivo. These findings suggested that F1ATPase β subunit involved in WSSV infection in L. vannamei.  相似文献

Certain plant growth-promoting pseudomonads inhibit deleterious and pathogenic rhizosphere bacteria and fungi by producing siderophores. Properties of a siderophore transport system which might provide a competitive advantage under iron stress conditions include ability to utilize other organisms' siderophores, higher Fe(III) stability constant, faster kinetics of dissolution of Fe(III) minerals, more efficient transport system, and resistance to degradation. In order to determine the concentration and localization of siderophores in the rhizosphere monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to ferric pseudobactin, the siderophore of Pseudomonas putida B10, have been developed. Several Mabs cross reacted differently with various pseudobactins. A growth medium has been developed for the study for siderophore-mediated rhizosphere interactions in the laboratory.  相似文献

The consensus octapeptide repeat motif of the barley seed storage protein C hordein, Pro-Gln-Gln-Pro-Phe-Pro-Gln-Gln, forms the epitope of two anti-prolamin monoclonal antibodies (Mabs), IFRN 0061 and 0614. The Mabs were found to exhibit unusual temperature-dependent binding characteristics, recognising C hordein and a peptide corresponding to the consensus repeat at 5°C but not at 37°C, as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The Kd of IFRN 0614 for the consensus peptide was found to be 1.2×1012 mol−1 at 12°C, but no constant could be calculated at 37°C due to a lack of binding. Similar ELISA binding characteristics were observed with an anti-C hordein polyclonal antiserum and a Mab raised to the consensus peptide. Circular dichroism (CD) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that the protein and the consensus peptide exist in a temperature-dependent equilibrium of poly-L-proline II type structures and β-turn conformations. Whilst thermodynamic and kinetic effects may reduce antibody binding at higher temperatures, they cannot account for the complete loss of Mab recognition at higher temperatures. It seems likely that the Mabs preferentially recognise the Pro-Gln-Gln-Pro-Phe-Pro-Gln-Gln motif when presented in a conformation which may correspond to the poly-L-proline II type conformation which dominates the CD and FTIR spectra at 4-12°C.  相似文献

Summary In unfixed cryostat sections of the brains of early postnatal and adult rats, we screened for cells containing vimentin-positive intermediate filaments (VI+-IFs) by applying a panel of four monoclonal antibodies (Mabs VI-01, VI-02, VI-05 and VI-5B3) using indirect immunofluorescence. All of the Mabs stained VI+-IFs in the stromal part of the choroid plexus, in endothelial cells of blood vessels and in meninges in both adult and immature brains, although with varying strength (VI-5B3 and VI-01 stained more strongly than VI-05 and VI-02). In the brain parenchyma of adults, intense staining was mainly localized in ventricular ependymal cells (VI-5B3/VI-01>VI-02/VI-05) and fibrous astrocyte-like cells (FAs). In the immature brain, the ependymall cells were activated in appearance, with evidence of cell enlargement, greater spreading of VI+-IFs within the cytoplasma and more pronounced VI+ cytoplasmic protrusions into the brain parenchyma.VI+-FAs were found near the ependymal and meningead borders as well as in the white matter tracts of adult brain (VI-5B3/VI-01>VI-05>VI-02). In immature animals, VI+-FAs were less frequently encountered in the forebrain regions, except in and near the subependymal layer (in the adjacent parenchyma) as well as in submeningeal layers. Weaker staining was usually clicited by Mabs VI-02 and VI-05. In the cerebellum, Bergmann cell fibres were stained in both age groups. In adults, the most intense fluorescence usually occurred in segments close to the pia (VI-5B3/VI-01>VI-05>VI-02). In immature animals, the Bergmann cell fibres were less straight, less smooth and thicker, and were stained along their whole length by all Mabs except VI-02. In adults, VI+-FAs were observed in the internal granular layer (VI-5B3 and VI-01) and, relatively more often, in the white matter (VI-05). In immature animals, a quasi-continuous mesh-work of VI+ cells was detected at some sites of the cerebellum, especially when VI-01 and VI-5B3 were used. With maturation, reduced staining was produced by all VI Mabs in the choroid plexus. We have thus demonstrated that VI is a common molecular denominator of cerebrospinal-fluid and/or blood-washed cells as well as of glial fibers contacting these cells. The differences in the staining of VI+ cells by various Mabs probably reflect an immunological heterogeneity of VI+-IFs based on the varying accessibility of the individual VI epitopes. This might be due to alterations in the tertiary structure of VI caused, for instance, by phosphorylation or other posttranslational processes. The actual structural state of VI may explain the variations in the immunostainability of astrocytes and also in the staining obtained using classical impregnation methods within the brain and/or its regions.Dedicated to Professor Dr. T.H.

β‐d ‐glucans from mushroom strains play a major role as biological response modifiers in several clinical disorders. Therefore, a specific assay method is of critical importance to find useful and novel sources of β‐d ‐glucans with anti‐tumor activity. Hybridoma technology was used to raise monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) against extracellular β‐d ‐glucans (EBG) from Pleurotus ostreatus. Two of these hybridoma clones (3F8_3H7 and 1E6_1E8_B3) secreting Mabs against EBG from P. ostreatus were selected and 3F8_3H7 was used to investigate if they are polyol‐responsive Mabs (PR‐Mabs) by using ELlSA‐elution assay. This hybridoma cell line secreted Mab of IgM class, which was purified in a single step by gel filtration chromatography on Sephacryl S‐300HR, which revealed a protein band on native PAGE with Mr of 917 kDa. Specificity studies of Mab 3F8_3H7 revealed that it recognized a common epitope on several β‐d ‐glucans from different basidiomycete strains as determined by indirect ELlSA and Western blotting under native conditions. This Mab exhibited high apparent affinity constant (KApp) for β‐d ‐glucans from several mushroom strains. However, it revealed differential reactivity to some heat‐treated β‐d ‐glucans compared with the native forms suggesting that it binds to a conformation‐sensitive epitope on β‐d ‐glucan molecule. Epitope analysis of Mab 3F8_3H7 and 1E6_1E8_B3 was investigated by additivity index parameter, which revealed that they bound to the same epitope on some β‐d ‐glucans and to different epitopes in other antigens. Therefore, these Mab can be used to assay for β‐d ‐glucans as well as to act as powerful probes to detect conformational changes in these biopolymers. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Eighteen IgGl monoclonal antibodies (blabs) have been produced against gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) from rat kidney. They were specific to the light subunit of the enzyme with affinity constants ranging from 0.3 to 7.5 108 M–1, while they did not react with GGT from other sources i.e. human and pig kidney, rat and guinea pig liver, suggesting species and organ specificity. Two of the blabs (N° 11 and 21) lost their immunoreactivities towards rat kidney GGT in the presence of N-acetyl-neuraminic acid, while immunoreactivities of the other blabs were unchanged. Furthermore, Mabs No 11 and 21 did not react with desialylated rat kidney GGT. These findings suggest that N-acetyl-neuraminic acid is involved in the epitopes recognized by these two Mabs.Abbreviations ELISA enzyme linked immunosorbent assay - GGT gamma-glutamyltransferase - Mab monoclonal antibody - SDS-PAGE sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis  相似文献

The subcommissural organ secretes N-linked complex-type glycoproteins into the cerebrospinal fluid. These glycoproteins condense to form Reissner’s fiber (RF), which extends along the fourth ventricle and central canal of the spinal cord. A set of three monoclonal antibodies (Mabs 3E6, 3B1, and 2A5) has been obtained using these glycoproteins as immunogens. Competitive and sandwich enzyme-linked immunoassay methods have demonstrated that the three monoclonal antibodies are directed against different epitopes, and that there is no competition among them for their binding to glycoproteins of RF. Mab 3E6 displays immunoblotting properties that are similar to those of a polyclonal antibody against the pool of glycoproteins from RF, but that are different from those of Mabs 3B1 and 2A5. All three antibodies immunostain the bovine subcommissural organ and RF. A population of ependymal cells is stained by the polyclonal antibody, and Mabs 2A5 and 3E6, but not by Mab 3B1. The material present in a population of ependymal cells of the central canal, and the glycoproteins secreted by the subcommissural organ thus probably have partial chemical identity. Some evidence suggests that the immunoreactive ependymal cells are secretory cells. The luminal surface of the central canal is coated by a thin layer of material with immunocytochemical characteristics different from those of the ependymal cells; such a coat may correspond to material released from RF.

Zeatin O-glycosides have been reported as inactive and stable storage forms of cytokinins whose concentrations increase in cold stressed plants. Zeatin O-glycosides accumulation in developing bean seeds has been correlated with an increase of zeatin O-glycosyltransferase , which is specific to trans-zeatin, and catalyzes the conjugation of zeatin O-glycosides. When Phaseolus vulgaris and Zea mays seedlings were grown for 3 days at 25 and then incubated at 4 or 10 for 6 days no further growth was observed in roots. Hypertrophy was observed in the root tips of both species. In shoot-hypocotyl complexes, in contrast, growth occurred when seedlings were incubated at 10 . Western analysis, with Mabs specific to zeatin O-glycosyltransferase, detected antigenically related proteins in roots, shoot tips and cotyledons after seedlings were cold stressed for 1–6 days at 4 or 10 . Immunolocalization, of both maize and bean root sections grown at 25 revealed antigenically related proteins that were detected at low levels in cortical cells. The signal intensified upon cold stress. The localization of zeatin O-glycosyltransferase in Z. mays root tips was directly comparable to the distribution of the zeatin O-glycosides. The enzyme was detected in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and closely associated with the plasma membrane and in the cell wall of Z. mays root cells. Southern analysis suggested that more than one gene in Z. mays that were homologous to zeatin O-glycosyltransferase in P. vulgaris. Zeatin O-glycosyltransferase may be involved in modulation of cytokinins under cold stress.  相似文献

Nine monoclonal antibodies (Mab) against a 40 Kd capsid protein of infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) strain P3009 were isolated. They were characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, indirect fluorescent antibody staining and virus neutralization. They were divided into two groups concerning virus neutralization. Group I Mabs were able to neutralize virus infectivity; however, group II Mabs were not. Competitive binding assays using these Mabs demonstrated the existence of two distinct antigenic regions (A and B) on the 40 Kd protein. Region A was recognized by group I Mabs and region B was by group II Mabs. The binding reaction with group I Mabs was affected by denaturing of the viral proteins, indicating that the antigenic region involving neutralization was conformation-dependent. The results of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and virus neutralization tests suggested that group I Mabs might react with one epitope within region A and group II Mabs with 2 or 3 epitopes within region B.  相似文献

Aims:  This study aims to develop and characterize monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) with high specificity and affinity for surface antigens of an epidemiologically important serotype 4b of Listeria monocytogenes .
Methods and Results:  Hybridoma clones were derived from B lymphocytes of mice immunized with L. monocytogenes serotype 4b and screened against this strain by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Twenty-nine clones secreting Mabs reactive with formalin-killed bacteria were obtained; 15, 8, 5 and 1 Mabs were immunoglobulin subclasses IgG2a, IgG2b, IgM and IgG1, respectively. Immuofluoresence or immunogold labelling demonstrated all except five IgM and one IgG2a Mabs bound to the surface of a live L. monocytogenes serotype 4b. The majority of the 23 surface-binding Mabs recognized linear epitopes on a 77-kDa protein. These surface-binding Mabs exhibited little or no cross-reactivity with non-4b serotypes (1/2a, 1/2b, 3a, etc.) of L. monocytogenes , five other Listeria species, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
Conclusions:  The Mabs recognizing a 77-kDa surface protein are novel antibodies with specificity and affinity for L. monocytogenes serotype 4b.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  These anti-77 kDa surface protein Mabs may be explored as reagents for the development of Mabs-based diagnostic immunoassays for L. monocytogenes serotype 4b strains.  相似文献

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) and human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2), produced essentially by the prostate gland, are 237-amino acid monomeric proteins, with 79% identity in primary structure. Twenty-five anti-PSA monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) were studied for binding to a large array of synthetic linear peptides selected from computer models of PSA and hK2, as well as to biotinylated peptides covering the entire PSA sequence. Sixteen of the Mabs were bound to linear peptides forming four independent binding regions (I-IV). Binding region I was localized to amino acid residues 1-13 (identical sequence for PSA and hK2), II (a and b) was localized to residues 53-64, III (a and b) was localized to residues 80-91 (= kallikrein loop), and IV was localized to residues 151-164. Mabs binding to regions I and IIa were reactive with free PSA, PSA-ACT complex, and with hK2; Mabs binding to regions IIb, IIIa, and IV were reactive with free PSA and PSA-ACT complex, but unreactive with hK2; Mabs binding to region IIIb detected free PSA only. All Mabs tested (n = 7) specific for free PSA reacted with kallikrein loop (binding region IIIb). The presence of Mabs interacting with binding region I did not inhibit the catalytic activity of PSA, whereas Mabs interacting with other binding regions inhibited the catalysis. Theoretical model structures of PSA, hK2, and the PSA-ACT complex were combined with the presented data to suggest an overall orientation of PSA with regard to ACT.  相似文献

BALB/c mice were immunized with spermatozoa from cauda epididymides of hamsters and the immune spleen cells were fused with mouse myeloma cells (P3U1). Seven hybridomas (GHS-1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6, and -7) that produced monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) binding to the epididymal spermatozoa were established. Three Mabs (GHS-3,-4, and -6) were IgM and the other four were IgG1. All Mabs reacted to hamster spermatozoa from cauda epididymides but none of the Mabs except GHS-5 and -7 reacted to spermatozoa in testis. GHS-5 and -7 Mabs bound to the acrosome region of spermatozoa in both testis and epididymis. The antigens corresponding to GHS-2, -4, and -6 Mabs appeared to be excreted from epithelial cells of caput epididymis, while those to GHS-1 and -3 Mabs seemed to be produced in cauda epididymis. Both groups of the antigens bound to the surface of spermatozoa during their epididymal transit. Immunoblotting analyses of epididymal fluid showed that the antigen epitopes corresponding to GHS-1,-2,-3,-4, and -6 Mabs were distributed to multiple components with different molecular weights ranging from over 100 to 25 kd. The distribution patterns of the epitopes corresponding to GHS-1 and -3 Mabs and GHS-2,-4, and -6 Mabs were very similar, respectively, but each group pattern was quite different from each other. GHS-5 Mab reacted to a component of sperm extract with a molecular weight of around 94 kd, while GHS-7 Mab failed to recognize any components transblotted.  相似文献
