Abstract:

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 hybridomas, clones 3FII, 3C3 and IF2 showed a strong reactivity for T-cells purified from thymus and tonsil tissues. Moreover, clones I D4 and 605 which partially stained thymus tissues were found to be negative on purified B-cells and monocytic cell line U937. The third group, 4ES and 4F4 hybridoma clones was expressed weakly on purified T, B-cells and U937 cell line. Further work is needed to determine the epitopes recognized by these MAbs and a comparison of the data with those presented at the previous leukocyte antigens workshop.

Production of monoclonal antibodies directed against the microsporidium Enterocytozoon bieneusi.

Several hybridomas producing antibodies detected by indirect immunofluorescence antibody test (IFAT) were established by fusion of mouse myeloma SP2/O with spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized against whole spores (protocol 1) or chitinase-treated spores (protocol 2) of Enterocytozoon bieneusi and were cloned twice by limiting dilutions. Two monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), 3B82H2 from protocol...

Monoclonal antibodies directed against preneoplastic and neoplastic murine mammary lesions.

We have produced a panel of monoclonal antibodies directed against a dimethylbenzanthracene-induced murine mammary tumor. Five rat-mouse hybridomas produced antibodies that bound to some murine mammary tumors, but not to normal renal adherent cells, lymphocytes, 3T3 fibroblasts, red blood cells, or mammary gland. One of these antibodies, designated AMT8, was selected for further evaluation base...

Monoclonal antibodies directed against the human Leb blood group antigen.

Four monoclonal antibodies produced by hybridomas obtained from a mouse immunized with a human adenocarcinoma cell line SW1116 (Koprowski, H., Steplewski, Z., Mitchell, K., Herlyn, M., Herlyn, D., and Fuhrer, P. (1979) Somatic Cell Genet. 5, 957-972) are directed against the Leb antigen of the human Lewis blood group system. Their specificities were established by binding studies using purified...

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...

Murine monoclonal antibodies against staphylococcal enterotoxin B: production and characterization.

A group of 14 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) were obtained by fusion of Sp2/O myeloma cells with spleen cells from female BALB/c mice immunized with commercial SEB. The antibodies belonged to IgG1 and IgG2b subclasses. We evaluated the anti-SEB titres, competition assays and sensitivity of detection by indirect ELISA. Reactivity and cross-reactivity were also...
