Modulation of desmin intermediate filament assembly by a monoclonal antibody
We have used a monoclonal antibody against desmin to examine the assembly of intermediate filaments (IF) from their building blocks, the tetrameric protofilaments. The antibody, designated D76, does not cross react with any other IF proteins (Danto, S.I., and D.A. Fischman. 1984. J. Cell Biol. 98:2179-2191). It binds to a region amino-terminal to cys-324 of avian desmin that is resistant to chy...
متن کاملHeterogeneity in migrating neural crest cells revealed by a monoclonal antibody.
A monoclonal antibody, GlN1, obtained by immunization with extracts of the 14 d embryonic quail nodose ganglion, is described. GlN1 recognizes an antigenic determinant present in virtually all the satellite cells of the peripheral ganglia, all Schwann cells of the peripheral nerves, and in subpopulations of sensory and autonomic neurons of embryonic and adult quails and chickens. The molecular ...
متن کاملMyosin at the apical pole of ciliated epithelial cells as revealed by a monoclonal antibody
A monoclonal antibody (CC-212), obtained in a fusion experiment in which basal bodies from quail oviduct were used as immunogen, has been shown to label the apical pole of ciliated cells and to react with a 200-kD protein. This monoclonal antibody was demonstrated to be an anti-myosin from smooth muscle or from nonmuscular cells using the following criteria: On Western blots it reacted with the...
متن کاملRegulation of vimentin intermediate filaments in endothelial cells by hypoxia.
Hypoxia triggers responses in endothelial cells that play roles in many conditions including high-altitude pulmonary edema and tumor angiogenesis. Signaling pathways activated by hypoxia modify cytoskeletal and contractile proteins and alter the biomechanical properties of endothelial cells. Intermediate filaments are major components of the cytoskeleton whose contribution to endothelial physio...
متن کاملExpression of intermediate filaments in cultured cells.
The occurrence of different types of intermediate filaments in primary cultures of cells and in cultured cell lines was studied by the indirect immunofluorescence (IFL) technique. The antibodies used were spontaneous monoclonal human antibodies of immunoglobulin M (IgM) class against vimentin-type intermediate filaments (fibroblast 58 x 10 mol. wt subunit protein), and experimental rabbit antib...
