abstract

by immunizing mice with killed whole bacterial cells of brucella abortus s (99), a panel of six hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (mab) specific for the surface antigens of this bacterium were produced. elisa was used to screen the hybridoma supernatants. immunoblots of the cell extract indicated that three mab were specific for s-lps (ba-1, ba-2, ba-3) and three others were reactive with major outer membrane proteins (omp) (ba-4, ba-5, ba-6). the omp recognized by these antibodies were the proteins with molecular masses of 25-27 kda (ba-4, ba-5) and 36-38 kda (ba-6). none of the four mab including ba-3, ba-4, ba-5 and ba-6 cross reacted with any other bacteria close to brucella abortus, but ba-1 and ba-2 cross reacted with b. melitensis 16m and b. suis. by using cell extract and killed whole cell ag in elisa, it was indicated that all mab except ba-6 have better reactivity with cell extract ag, but ba-6 mab reacted with killed whole cell ag better than cell extract ag.

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies against Brucella abortus S (99) Surface Antigens

By immunizing mice with killed whole bacterial cells of Brucella abortus S (99), a panel of six hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (mAb) specific for the surface antigens of this bacterium were produced. ELISA was used to screen the hybridoma supernatants. Immunoblots of the cell extract indicated that three mAb were specific for S-LPS (Ba-1, Ba-2, Ba-3) and three others were reactive w...

Serological confirmation of Brucella abortus and Yersinia enterocolitica O:9 O-antigens by monoclonal antibodies.

Murine monoclonal antibodies that bind the O-antigens of Yersinia enterocolitica serotype O:9 and Brucella abortus 1119-3 were generated after immunization of BALB/c mice with killed, whole cells. Highly purified lipopolysaccharide preparations from each organism were used to screen for antigen-specific antibodies. Immunization with B. abortus cells induced 56 antigen-specific hybrids, and 10 o...

ISOLATION 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...

Antigens of Brucella abortus. I. Chemical and immunoelectrophoretic characterization.

Extracts of Brucella abortus 2308S, prepared either by aqueous extraction of sonically ruptured cells or by phenol-water extraction of whole cells, were subjected to various fractionation procedures and then analyzed to determine their immunoelectrophoretic patterns and chemical properties. Fraction A, prepared from sonic extracts, contained at least nine precipitable components when analyzed b...

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibody against Saffron Pollen Profilin, Cro s 2

Background: Allergy to Saffron (Crocus sativus) pollen has been described in people involved in processing of saffron flower stamens. Profilins have been identified as a pan-allergen in different plant pollens and foods. This molecule is an actin-binding pro-tein with a molecular weight of 12-16 kDa found in eukaryotic species. Objective: The aim of this study was to generate monoclonal antibod...
