Antigen Isolation and Purification

چکیده
An antibody was raised against a protein isolated from the cytoplasm of mesothelioma cells. It was subsequently used in an immunoperoxidase procedure on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections. A representative sample of benign and malignant tumours from all the systems of the human body was examined. All the tumours derived from coelomic surfaces (mesotheliomas of pleura, peritoneum, and ovary, and adenomatoid tumour of epididymis) reacted with the antibody. No other tumour tested in this study expressed the protein. These findings indicate that the antibody may be useful in the identification of mesothelioma cells in both histological and cytological diagnostic routine practice when morphological interpretation is in doubt.

Isolation and purification of Echinococcus granulosus antigen B from hydatid cyst fluid using three different methods
Hydatid cyst, the larval stage of cestodes Echinococcus spp., is recognized as a zoonotic infection in the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently classified echinococcosis in a group of neglected tropical diseases.The prevalence of Echinococcus granulosus infection is high in Iran due to the presence of various intermediate hosts in this country. Considering the rising trend of...
متن کاملIsolation and purification of HLA-DR antigen from Daudi cell line by immunoaffinity chromatography
Introduction: The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of cell surface proteins that are essential for recognizing foreign molecules in human and other mammals. The physiologic function of MHC molecules is the presentation of peptides to T cells. In this study, we evaluated the purification of a class II MHC molecule (HLA-DR) from a human Burkitt′s lymphoma cell line; Daudi...

Background: The therapy of leishmania infection is difficult and each year 1.5 million new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis and 500,000 new cases of visceral leishmaniasis are estimated, therefore, there is a need for an effective vaccine. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) is one of the suitable methods for isolation and purification of leishmania antigens. In this report, we produced several mAb aga...
متن کاملISOLATION AND PURIFICATION OF MAJOR OUTER MEMBRANE PROTEINS FROM BRUCELLA ABORTUS S-99
Isolation and purification of major outer membrane proteins (OMP) from the cell wall envelope of Brucella abortus S-99 were achieved by sonication, solubilization and membrane fractionation in the presence of non-ionic detergent (Tx-100) and lysozyme treatments, followed by ultracentrifugation. The crude OMP was treated with trypsin to free the preparation from any other protein contaminan...
متن کاملA NOVEL METHOD OF PURIFICATION OF SPECIFIC HYDATID CYST ANTIGEN
Hydatid cyst fluid has been used as a source of antigen for the serodiagnosis of Echinococcus granulosus infection. Due to cross-reactions with antigens shared by other helminthes, the specific antigen from hydatid cyst fluid was purified by many workers. We used a relatively simple technique for purification of specific antigen from sheep hydatid cyst fluid. Isopycnic ultracentrifugation w...
متن کاملIdentification 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...
