Characterization of monoclonal antibodies raised against the latent nuclear antigen of human herpesvirus 8.
Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8; also designated Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus) is the likely etiological agent of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). HHV-8 encodes a latent nuclear antigen (LNA) which is the product of the viral gene orf 73. LNA is recognized by most infected patient sera and is the basis of current immunofluorescence assays used in epidemiological studies of HHV-8 infection. Here we ...
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 کاملMonoclonal antibodies specific for platelet glycoproteins react with human monocytes.
Three monoclonal antibodies, P256 , P140, and P112 , react with the 135,000 mol wt IIb component of the glycoprotein IIb/IIa complex. They also react with a 200,000-mol wt protein present at low levels in the complex. Using immunofluorescence techniques, monoclonal antibodies P140 and P112 , but not P256 , can be shown to bind to 80% of human monocytes. However, P256 was able to immunoprecipita...
متن کاملAnalysis of human herpesvirus 6 glycoproteins recognized by monoclonal antibody OHV1.
A virus-specific glycoprotein (gp) from human herpes-virus 6 (HHV-6) was studied using the anti-HHV-6 monoclonal antibody OHV1. Immunoprecipitation with extracts from infected cells revealed that the antibody recognized four glycosylated proteins (gps) with Mrs of 106K, 102K, 65K and 63K under reducing conditions. However, only two gps, of 106K (gp106) and 102K, were detected under non-reducing...
متن کاملProduction and Partial Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Leishmania
Background: Monoclonal antibody technology allows identification of amastigote-specific antigen in human tissue biopsies and search for a suitable vaccine candidate, which may induce a long lasting immunity. Objectives: Production and partial characterization of seven monoclonal antibodies against Leishmania tropica promstigotes. Methods: Seven murine monoclonal antibodies of the IgG isotype we...
