Immunochemical characterization of anti-acetylcholinesterase inhibitory monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were prepared against native or DFP-inhibited Torpedo californica acetylcholinesterase and native or DFP-, MEPQ-, and soman-inhibited fetal bovine serum acetylcholinesterase. The cross reactivity of these antibodies with acetylcholinesterases from various species and their ability to inhibit catalytic activity were determined. Eight antibodies were found to inhibit ...
متن کاملMONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES TO HUMAN ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a serum glycoprotein belonging to the onco-developmental proteins group, serves as a marker both in cancer research and in studies concerning fetal development and fetal pathophysiology. Monoclonal anti-AFP antibodies are essential reagents in developing appropriate techniques for measurement of this protein. In this study, in order to produce anti-AFP monoclonal a...
متن کاملAcetylcholinesterase: how is structure related to function?
In accordance with its biological role, termination of neurotransmission at cholinergic synapses by rapid hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, acetylcholinesterase is one of nature's most efficient enzymes. Solution of its three-dimensional structure revealed that its active site is located at the bottom of a deep and narrow gorge. Such an architecture was unanticipated in view of...
متن کاملMyasthenia Gravis: New Insights into the Effect of MuSK Antibodies and Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitors
Myasthenia Gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder in which autoantibodies are directed against muscle receptors. MG causes fluctuating muscle weakness, which often involves droopy eyelids, swallowing difficulties and generalized muscle fatigue in the neck and proximal muscles of the legs and arms. The prevalence of MG is two times higher in women than in men. Age is also a prevaili...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies that Inhibit Acetylcholinesterase by Targeting the Peripheral Site and Backdoor Region
The inhibition properties and target sites of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) Elec403, Elec408 and Elec410, generated against Electrophorus electricus acetylcholinesterase (AChE), have been defined previously using biochemical and mutagenesis approaches. Elec403 and Elec410, which bind competitively with each other and with the peptidic toxin inhibitor fasciculin, are directed toward distinctive a...
