Heterogeneity of Abnormal Prion Protein (PrPSc) in Murine Scrapie Prions Determined by PrPSc-Specific Monoclonal Antibodies
In prion diseases, abnormal prion protein (PrP(Sc)) is considered as the main component of the infectious agent. Delineation of PrP(Sc) conformation is expected to be a critical factor in understanding properties of prions. However, practical methods to differentiate between conformers of PrP(Sc) are inadequate. Here, we used two PrP(Sc)-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), 3B7 and 3H6, and f...
متن کاملPrPSc-Specific Antibodies with the Ability to Immunodetect Prion Oligomers
The development of antibodies with binding capacity towards soluble oligomeric forms of PrPSc recognised in the aggregation process in early stage of the disease would be of paramount importance in diagnosing prion diseases before extensive neuropathology has ensued. As blood transfusion appears to be efficient in the transmission of the infectious prion agent, there is an urgent need to develo...
متن کاملSulfated Dextrans Enhance In Vitro Amplification of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy PrPSc and Enable Ultrasensitive Detection of Bovine PrPSc
BACKGROUND Prions, infectious agents associated with prion diseases such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in cattle, and scrapie in sheep and goats, are primarily comprised of PrP(Sc), a protease-resistant misfolded isoform of the cellular prion protein PrP(C). Protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA) is a highly sensitive technique used to de...
متن کاملProduction of Erythropoietin-specific polyclonal Antibodies
Background: Erythropoietin, as a principal hormone promotes red blood cell production in bone marrow. Varieties of erythropoietin biosimilar are being produced by recombinant DNA technology in cell cultures. The detection or quantification of these molecules are being performed by diff erent methods which some of theme such as Western blot and enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) require sp...
متن کاملSpecific Somatostatin-binding Bovine Gallbladder Mucosa
The binding of somatostatin was studied in the cytosolic fraction of bovine gallbladder mucosa. The binding reaction depended on time, temperature and pH, and was reversible, saturable and specific. Stoichiometric data suggested the presence of two classes of binding sites: a class with high affinity (K d -23.6 nM) and low capacity (3.7 pmol somatostatin/mg protein) and a class with low affinit...
