Abstract: | Classical pathogenic strains of Yersinia enterocolitica produce a 17 kDa outer membrane protein, Ail (attachment-invasion locus), which mediates bacterial attachment to some cultures
epithelial cell lines and invasion of others. In the present study, hybridomas were developed for the production of monoclonal
antibodies (MAbs) against Ail protein of Y. enterocolitica. A set of five stabilized hybridoma cell lines were generated, of which, two MAbs, YEA 302 and YEA 303, exhibited specific
reaction to the native Ail protein (17 kDa) present in whole cell lysate of Y. enterocolitica strains beside having reaction with rAil. The other three MAbs, YEA 5, 17 and 32, had some cross reactions with proteins
other than Ail. Two out of five MAbs were IgG1, two were IgG2b and one in IgM in nature. MAbs (YEA 302 and YEA 303) did not
show any cross-reaction with whole cell lysate of Brucella abortus, Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli and other species of Enterobacteriaceae including Y. pestis in ELISA and Western blot analysis. The presence of Ail protein among the strains recovered from pork and milk samples was
evaluated by these sets of MAbs and the results were compared with the duplex PCR. Collectively, the data suggest that these
MAbs may have the potential for their use in the detection of pathogenic Y. enterocolitica reliably, rapidly and at a relatively low cost. |
