Abstract:

The objective of this study was to compare different antigen preparations to produce monoclonalantibodies against bovine leukaemia virus gp51SU. The four antigen preparations for immunization ofBALB/c mice were: CL: BLV-FLK cell lysate, UF: a fraction of CL (between 30 and 100 kDa), WVP: wholevirus particles and SP: with ion exchange chromatography, gp51SU was semipurified. A total of ninesuccessful fusions were performed which resulted in production of 23 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specificagainst gp51SU. The highest ratio of specific hybridoma colonies in each fusion was with SP preparation.Based on the reactivity of the mAbs in Western blotting, mAbs were classified into four groups: anti-gp51SU(23 mAbs), anti-gp30TM (8 mAbs), anti-Pr72 (5 mAbs) and antibodies against other viral proteins (7 mAbs).Some of the anti-gp51SU mAbs reacted with more than one band in Western blotting, suggesting that thesecolonies recognized not only gp51SU but also its precursors

Bovine Leukaemia Virus onco-protein Tax antigen identification in human lymphomas tissue

Background: Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) is the primary cause of enzootic bovine leukaemia which belongs to the HTLV/BLV group of oncogenic retroviruses including Human T-cell leukaemia virus types 1, 2, and 3 and simian T-lymphotropic virus. Due to daily consumption of milk, meat and other dairy by-products, a possible role in appearing human cancers can be assumed for BLV. Materials and Metho...

Adaptation of an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay by purified gp51SU for detection of antibodies to bovine leukemia virus

The objective of this study was to compare an indirect ELISA, based on a purified 60 kDa envelope glycoprotein (gp51SU), with a Pourquire indirect ELISA for the detection of antibodies to the bovine leukemia virus. For conducting this research, 340 serum samples were collected from two different breeds of cows (Sarabi and Holestin) in different herds. Commercial ELISA revealed positive results ...

Monoclonal antibodies against bovine growth hormone.

A number of mouse x mouse hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against bovine growth hormone (bGH) were prepared by fusion of spleen cells from bGH-primed mice (Balb/c) with non-secretory mouse myeloma cells (PAIOP3) and characterized. MAbs obtained from three fusion experiments belonged to IgM, IgG1 and IgG2b class/subclass of antibodies. Cross-reaction studies indicated that gene...

Production, Characterization, and Use of Monoclonal Antibodies Against gp51 Protein to Diagnose Bovine Leukemia Virus Infection

Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) is a retroviral infection that causes persistent lymphocytosis and lymphosarcoma in cattle. The economic importance of infection by bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is due to several factors, including losses in exportation, treatment of secondary infection, and reduction in dairy production. To facilitate the development of a national test that is sensitive, simple, a...

Monoclonal antibodies against La Crosse virus.

Monoclonal antibodies have been used to show that an epitope is present on the G1 glycoprotein of prototype La Crosse virus that is absent or significantly altered on several isolates of La Crosse virus made in New York State, U.S.A. The portion of the G1 protein where this epitope is located plays a role in both virus neutralization and haemagglutination. Additional experiments revealed that u...
