MONOCLONAL PRODUCTION OF BOTH IgM AND IgG1 ANTIHAPTEN ANTIBODY
نویسندگان
چکیده
The anti-DNP antibodies produced by primary and secondary splenic foci were analyzed for heavy chain class by a radioimmunoassay, using iodinated, purified goat antimouse micro-chain antibody and goat antimouse gamma1 chain antibody. The frequency of primary and secondary foci producing both IgM and IgG1 anti-DNP antibody (16% and 14%, respectively) was considerably higher than that which would be predicted by a random distribution. It would thus appear that IgM and IgG1 antibody can be made by the clonal progeny of a single precursor cell.

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 کاملProduction of seven monoclonal equine immunoglobulins isotyped by multiplex analysis.
Horses have 11 immunoglobulin isotypes: IgM, IgD, IgA, IgE, and seven IgG subclasses designated as IgG1-IgG7, each of which are distinguished by separate genes encoding the constant heavy chain regions. Immunoglobulin (Ig) isotypes have different functions during the immune response and pathogen-specific isotypes can be used as indicators for immunity and protection from disease. In addition to...
متن کاملIdentification of Two Epitopes on the Outer Surface Protein A of the Lyme Disease Spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi
A murine IgM monoclonal antibody (MA-2C6) with κ-light chains directed against an antigenic determinant of outer surface protein A (OspA) of the Lyme disease spirochete, Borreliaburgdorferi, is produced. This antibody could bind specifically to OspA antigen of several isolates of B. burgdorferi, but not to the non-Lyme disease bacteria such as T. pallidum and B. hermsii. Antibody MA-2C6 was pur...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin class and immunoglobulin G subclass analysis of human anti-mouse antibody response during monoclonal antibody treatment of cancer patients.
The immune response against murine IgG2a immunoglobulin was studied in 42 gastrointestinal cancer patients treated with mouse monoclonal antibodies. IgM, IgA, and all 4 IgG subclasses directed against mouse immunoglobulin were studied. Thirty of 42 patients developed an anti-mouse response of IgG isotype, often associated with IgM and IgA specific for mouse monoclonal antibodies circulating in ...
متن کاملHelper T cells reacting to idiotype on IgG but not IgM
Immunization with an IgG1 but not an IgM monoclonal anti-NP (4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl acetyl) antibody induced idiotype-recognizing T helper cells, although these two antibodies carry the same variable regions. The T cells appear to react to an idiotype on the IgG1 but not the IgM antibody. They selectively enhance the expression of that idiotype in the IgG1 fraction of an in vitro anti-NP respo...
