Campylobacter species are a group of spiral-shaped bacteria that can cause disease in humans and animals. We developed a high-affinity monoclonal antibody (MAb) probe that recognizes Campylobacter jejuni cells. Cell suspensions grown under microaerobic conditions at 42°C for 20 h on Bolton agar plates with lysed horse blood were used as live and heat-killed preparations, centrifuged at 8,000 × g for 20 min, and resuspended in carbonate buffer (pH 9.6) for coating on the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay plates. BALB/c mice were immunized with C. jejuni sonicated cells at 107 CFU/ml to generate MAb-producing hybridoma clones. Of about 500 initial hybridoma clones, MAb 33D2, which reacted with C. jejuni and Campylobacter coli, was selected for further evaluation. MAb 33D2 is in the immunoglobulin subclass G2a and had relatively weaker reactivity with the C. coli strains tested. MAb 33D2 did not show any cross-reactions with the nine non-Campylobacter bacteria tested in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and had a stronger affinity for C. jejuni as live versus heat-killed cells. In Western blot assays, MAb 33D2 recognized two major antigens of 62 and 43 kDa in extracts from C. jejuni cells but only one antigen of 62 kDa in extracts from C. coli cells.

ABSTRACT We employed an inhibition-type enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to characterize a murine immunoglobulin M monoclonal antibody (MAb) that bound soluble macromolecular peptidoglycan (PG). With this ELISA, the MAb was capable of detecting soluble PG concentrations of less than 10 ng/ml. Enzymatic digestion of PG reduced binding by more than 100-fold, implying that the epitope recognized by this antibody depended on repeating subunits within the glycan backbone. Additionally, the MAb bound to epitopes on both O-acetylated and non-O-acetylated PG fragments from gram-negative bacteria, as well as PG fragments from Staphylococcus aureus and PG fragments released into the medium by a number of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

ABSTRACT The Bühlmann CAST 2000 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is a potentially useful assay for measuring sulfidoleukotrienes released in vitro by allergen-challenged basophils. However, we observed that the positive-control reagent yielded positive signals in cell-free systems. These false-positive results depended on using a mouse anti-FcεRI monoclonal antibody and were prevented by degranulation-inducing reagents other than mouse monoclonal antibodies.
