the culture media optimization is an inevitable part of upstream process development in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mabs) production. the quality by design (qbd) approach defines the assured quality of the final product through the development stage. an important step in qbd is determination of the main quality attributes. during the media optimization, some of the main quality attribute...

different igg subclass profiles are produced in response to different antigenic stimuli in a variety of diseases. igg subclass levels may reflect disease severity. quantification of igg subclasses depends on the availability of specific monoclonal antibodies (mabs). in the present study seven hybridoma clones producing mabs reactive with multiple subclasses of human igg were established. spleno...

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...

Three murine monoclonal anti-ssDNA autoantibodies have been produced by fusion of spleen cells from NZB/NZW F1 hybrid mice with Sp2/0-Ag 14 murine myeloma cells. Specificity studies characterizing monoclonal anti - ssDNA autoantibodies revealed binding patterns for nucleotides. Clone E-4-1 showed preferential binding with mono-di-and polyguanosine. Clones E-4-4 and E-11-1 specitically bound mon...

Introduction: Binding a monoclonal antibody to tumor associated antigens is an effective method for cancer therapy because these agents can specifically target malignant cells, in fact monoclonal antibodies are effective agents for diagnosis, grading and treatment of different kinds of cancers. Methods: In this research, a new monoclonal antibody against colon cancer cells was prepared an...

a survey was carried out in five provinces of iran (kerman, sistan and baluchestan, hormozgan, khorasan and yazd) for the presence of alfalfa mosaic virus (amv) sero-types in alfalfa during 2002 to 2003. the number of samples collected was 250, represent-ing the diversity and geographical distribution of amv in these areas. diagnosis was car-ried out using polyclonal (pabs) and monoclonal (mabs...

background: the humbug gene is a truncated isoform of aspartyl β-hydroxylase (asph) gene that is overexpressed in many human malignancies. in recent years, since humbug has received increasing attention, it is considered as a potential therapeutic molecular target. therefore, it is necessary for preparing humbug protein and its monoclonal antibody to investigate its structure and function. meth...

introduction: as monoclonal antibodies are potential tools for characterization of soluble or cellular surface antigens, use of these proteins has always been considered in infertility and reproduction research. therefore, in this study, monoclonal antibodies against human sperm surface antigens were produced. material and methods: to produce specific clones against human sperm surface antigens...
