Monoclonal antibodies to the two most basic papaya proteinases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The proteinases from Carica papaya include papain, isoenzymes of chymopapain and two proteinases A and B distinguished by their unusually high pI. The identity of one of the most basic proteinases has been questioned. The present report describes the preparation and characterisation of two monoclonal antibodies that react specifically with papaya proteinases A and B respectively and a third that identifies a common structural feature found in papain and proteinase A.

A search for multi-enzyme complexes of DNA precursor pathways in eukaryotic cells
In order to prepare pure enzyme before gene cloning the proteins were separated by fast protein liquid chromatography and used to prepare monoclonal antibodies to papaya proteinase A and B. Crude spray-dried latex from Powell and Scholefield was dialysed against 1,3-diaminopropane and the enzyme isolated by the method of Goodenough & Owen (1986) using 6 mM-diaminopropane as buffer and a gradien...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of two cysteine proteinases from paw-paw (Carica papaya).
Two cDNA clones for plant cysteine proteinases have been isolated from a Carica papaya (paw-paw, papaya) leaf tissue cDNA library by using a mixture of 16 synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotides as a hybridization probe. The inserted regions are 311 and 440 base-pairs in length and have the potential to encode a region corresponding to the C-terminal region of two proteins which are homologous with...
متن کاملMechanisms of the Oxytocie Activity of Papaya Proteinases
Crude papaya latex (CPL) and its proteinases, papain (PPN) and chymopapain (CPN). are strong uterine eontractants. The current study was carried out to examine possible mechanisms of the uterine stimulating activity of the proteinases. Inaetivation of the enzymatic activity of papaya proteinases reversibly abolished their uterinestimulating effect, suggesting that enzymatic activity of the prot...

متن کاملTherapeutic Applications of Monoclonal Antibodies in Multiple Sclerosis
Despite the various therapies available, the use of monoclonal antibodies is a highly specific approach that has only recently been of interest to researchers. The properties of antibodies have led to their use in the treatment of various diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes and multiple sclerosis (MS). MS, a chronic inflammatory disease, occurs commonly in young adults. Th...
