چکیده

Fifteen monoclonal antibodies have been produced to human Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP), identifying at least seven distinct epitopes. The antibodies have been used to isolate from serum an immunoreactive protein which comigrates with urinary THP. In addition, the antibodies may prove useful to set up an immunoenzymoassay for urinary THP as well as for immunoaffinity purification.

Study of childhood renal tumours using a monoclonal antibody to Tamm-Horsfall protein.

A monoclonal antibody to Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein was used for the immuno-localization of Tamm-Horsfall protein in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections of childhood renal tumours, normal children's kidneys, and human fetal kidneys. The procedure was a dinitrophenyl hapten sandwich staining method. The antibody, diluted 1/100,000, gave a very strong and specific staining of the lo...

Production and Characterization of Murine Monoclonal Antibodies Recognizing Conformational and Linear Epitopes Localized on Human IgA2 Molecules

Background: There are two subclasses of human IgA (IgA1 and IgA2) that differ in antigenic properties and in chemical composition. The constant domains of α1 and α2 heavy chains have >95% sequence homology though major structural differences exist in the hinge region. Quantitation of IgA subclass levels depends on the availability of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for conserved conformat...

Monoclonal 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...
