characterization of a monoclonal antibody specific for the parasite surface antigen-2 of leishmania major
نویسندگان
چکیده
the leishmania major parasite surface antigen-2 (psa-2) is a family of glycoinositol phospholipids anchored glycoprotoins expressed in both promastigotes and amastigotes. promastigote psa-2 comprises three polypeptides with approximate molecular weight of 96, 80 and 50 kda. amastigote express a distinct but closely psa-2 polypeptide with molecular weight of 50 kda. in this study fusion of sp2/0 myeloma cells with immunized mice spleenocytes infected with promastigotes of l. major intraperitoneally resulted to a clone of hybridoma producing a specific antibody that only reacts with l. major parasite surface antigen (psa-2). this mab showed no crossreactivity with either other leishmania species including l. tropica, l. donovani and l. infantum or recombinant gp63. western blot analysis of culture supernatant revealed multiple bands with molecular weight of 50, 58, 80 and 96 kda only in l. major.

Identification and purification of a specific and immunogenic antigen of the laminated layer of the hydatid cyst and production of an antigen-specific monoclonal antibody.
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is an infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. This is widely distributed through Iran, where a variety of animals act as intermediate host. The immunogenic antigens (Ag) of different compartments of the hydatid cyst have been already determined. One of these compartments is the laminated layer (LL). We have extracted a protein with the MW of 2...

متن کاملA monoclonal antibody specific to surface antigen on Candida krusei.
A monoclonal antibody (MAb; MAb 6B3) which reacts specifically with a cell wall antigen found in all strains or isolates of Candida krusei was developed. MAb 6B3 was extensively tested by immunofluorescence assay for cross-reaction with many Candida, Cryptococcus, Saccharomyces, Trichosporon, and Rhodotorula species and was found to react only with the species C. krusei. The specific epitope is...

Background: Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are essential tools for many molecular im-munology investigations, epitope mapping and molecular modelling, clinical laboratory di-agnostic tests and immunotherapy. Humoral immune response of immunized animals largely depends on the nature of antigen and the immunization technique. Polysaccharides and heavily-glycosylated proteins are very elusive target...
