Midgut antibodies reduce the reproductive capacity of Anopheles stephensi (Diptera: Culicidae).
Rabbits immunized with polypeptides of midgut of glucose fed A. stephensi resulted in high titer of antibodies (10(4)-10(6)) as detected by ELISA. Effect of antisera on fecundity, hatchability and engorgement was investigated. Fecundity was reduced drastically (62.4%). Eight polypeptides were recognized by the antisera raised against midgut tissues viz., 92, 85, 55, 52, 45, 38, 29 and 13 kDa. C...
متن کاملMidgut of the non-hematophagous mosquito Toxorhynchites theobaldi (Diptera, Culicidae)
In most mosquito species, the females require a blood-feeding for complete egg development. However, in Toxorhynchites mosquitoes, the eggs develop without blood-feeding, and both females and males exclusively feed on sugary diets. The midgut is a well-understood organ in blood-feeding mosquitoes, but little is known about it in non-blood-feeding ones. In the present study, the detailed morphol...
متن کاملRubella virus antigens: localization of epitopes involved in hemagglutination and neutralization by using monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the rubella virion were used to locate epitopes involved in hemagglutination and neutralization. The MAbs exhibiting high-level hemagglutination-inhibiting activity were shown by Western blot analysis to be specific for the E1 polypeptide; this is consistent with the presence of the hemagglutinin on the E1 polypeptide. Some of the E1-specific MAbs also neutr...
متن کاملMonoclonal and Polyclonal Antibodies Specific to Human Fibromodulin
Background: The unique expression of fibromodulin (FMOD) in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has been previously reported. Detecting FMOD in CLL patients using specific anti-FMOD mAbs might provide a promising method in detection, monitoring, and prognosis of CLL. Objectives: In this study, we aimed for producing specific antibodies agains...
متن کاملMonoclonal Antibodies
SUMMARY Monoclonal Antibodies are identical antibodies and Can be generated in ultimated amounts by countinuos cultures of single antibody- secreting cells. These cell lines are produced by cell fusion of normal lymphocytes to cells of a myeloma tumor cell line, which confers on the antibody producing hybrid cell, immortality and the ability grow as atumor in animals. monoclonal antibodies c...
