Abstract: | We immunized rats with recombinant murine osteopontin protein and obtained four monoclonal antibodies recognizing distinct epitopes of murine osteopontin. OPN1.2 recognized the amino-terminal half of OPN, while OPN2.2, OPN2.3, and OPN3.1 recognized the carboxy-terminal half of OPN. The epitope recognized by OPN2.2 was destroyed by further cleavage of the carboxy half of OPN. The epitope recognized by OPN2.3 was located in the amino-terminal end of the carboxy half of OPN, whereas that recognized by OPN3.1 was located in the carboxy-terminal end of the carboxy half of OPN. OPN1.2 and OPN2.2 recognized thrombin-cleaved osteopontin, whereas thrombin-cleaved osteopontin was not recognized by OPN2.3 and OPN3.1. Thus, these monoclonal antibodies will be useful in structure/function studies of the role of osteopontin in murine models of disease. |
