چکیده

Myocardial infarction (MI) can be monitored using several protein markers including human cardiac myosin (HCM). Monoclonal antibodies were raised against HCM by hybridoma technique. Antimyosin antibody producing clones were identified by ELISA and monoclonality was established by limiting dilution. The antibodies were purified, isotyped and their cross reactions with myosin from other species were estimated. All the clones showed negligible cross reaction with rabbit myosin, but reacted with bovine skeletal myosin to different extents (40-100%). The most avid antibody Mab 4G4 which also strongly reacted with rat cardiac myosin, was labelled with 125I using different oxidising agents such as iodogen, chloramine-T and lactoperoxidase. More than 95% pure radiolabelled antibody could be obtained by gel filtration. The immunoreactivity was retained. Mab 4G4 was also labelled with 99mTc using stannous tartrate as the reducing agent. Radiolabelling yield was approximately 60%, the purity was >95%. Both the radiolabelled preparations were tested for biodistribution in rats--both normal and those with induced MI. Approximately 0.7 % of the injected activity/g was found in the infarcted region and the accumulation of activity in the infarcted heart was 1.5 times that in the normal heart. A very high percentage of activity (80%) accumulated in the thyroid. With further optimisation of labelling and use of F(ab')2 fragments, better delineation of the infarct sites may become possible.

Peroxidase labelled monoclonal antibody against light chains of human cardiac myosin.

Monoclonal antibody against light chains of human cardiac myosin (MLC) was labelled with horseradish peroxidase. The conjugation was performed by two different methods with glutaraldehyde and periodate respectively. The binding activities of the conjugates were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on the microtitration plates with immobilized MLC (1-1000 ng per well). A compariso...

Preparation of monoclonal antibodies against human ventricular myosin light chain 1 (HVMLC1) for functional studies.

Using purified recombinant human ventricular myosin light chain 1 (HVMLC1) as the antigen, three monoclonal antibodies, designated C8, C9 and B12, were prepared. Immunoblot experiments demonstrated that all monoclonal antibodies could react with the ventricular myosin light chain 1 isolated from different sources, such as human, rat or pig. It was also demonstrated that C8 was directed against ...

Identification and localization of caldesmon in cardiac muscle.

Caldesmon has been detected in smooth muscle and in a number of non-muscle cells. It binds both actin and myosin and may act as a regulator of contraction or a structural element in smooth muscle. The presence of caldesmon in striated muscle has not been well established. To address this issue, polyclonal antibodies and a panel of monoclonal antibodies were raised against chicken gizzard smooth...

THE PRODUCTION OF MURINE MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES (MAb) DIRECTED AGAINST HUMAN T- LYMPHOCYTE SUBSETS

The production of murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) has not yet been reported in Iran. The present work describes for the first time the generation of several murine hybridoma clones secreting MAbs directed against human leukocyte surface antigens. The secreted antibodies by hybridoma clones have been screened on different lymphoid and non-lymphoid tissues. Results indicated that of seven h...

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...
