Monoclonal antibodies were generated against components on the surface of zoospores and cysts of the Oomycete, Phytophthora nicotianae, with the aim of obtaining antibodies diagnostic for this species of plant pathogen. A dipstick version of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to screen hybridoma cell lines produced by following a coimmunization protocol in which a mouse was immunized with Phytophthora nicotianae cysts mixed with murine antisera raised against cysts of Phytophthora cinnamomi and Phytophthora cryptogea. Of the nine hybridoma cells lines which remained positive, five produced antibodies that reacted with species-specific epitopes on the surface of the spores. Immunofluorescence, immunogold, and immunoblot labelling showed that three of the five species-specific antibodies reacted with a polypeptide of relative molecular mass greater than 205 kDa which was distributed over the entire zoospore surface, including that of the two flagella. These antibodies also labelled the surface of cysts to varying degrees. The other two species-specific antibodies bound to the shaft of tubular mastigonemes that form two rows on the anterior flagellum. In immunoblots, one of these antibodies recognised a 40-kDa glycoprotein. Antibodies produced by the other four hybridoma cell lines reacted with all Phytophthora and Pythium species tested. The results (i) showed that the coimmunization technique effectively produced antibodies directed towards components specific for Phytophthora nicotianae in the presence of antigens common to many Phytophthora species, and (ii) revealed for the first time the biochemical nature of molecular constituents of flagellar mastigonemes in the Oomycetes.Key words: cell surface, flagella, immunodiagnostics, mastigonemes, monoclonal antibodies.

Sweet potato stem and root rot is an important bacterial disease and often causes serious economic losses to sweet potato. Development of rapid and sensitive detection methods is crucial for diagnosis and management of this disease in field. Here, we report the production of four hybridoma cell lines (25C4, 16C10, 9B1, and 9H10) using Dickeya dadantii strain FY1710 as an immunogen. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) produced by these four hybridoma cell lines were highly specific and sensitive for D. dadantii detection. Indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (indirect-ELISA) results showed that the four MAbs 25C4, 16C10, 9B1, and 9H10 could detect D. dadantii in suspensions diluted to 4.89 × 104, 4.89 × 104, 9.78 × 104, and 9.78 × 104 CFU/ml, respectively. Furthermore, all four MAbs can react strongly and specifically with all four D. dadantii strains used in this study, not with the other seven tested bacterial strains. Using these four MAbs, three different serological approaches, triple-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TAS-ELISA), dot-ELISA, and tissue-print-ELISA, were developed for detection of D. dadantii in crude extracts prepared from field-collected sweet potato plants. Among these three methods, TAS-ELISA and dot-ELISA were used to detect D. dadantii in suspensions diluted up to 1.23 × 104 and 1.17 × 106 CFU/ml, respectively, or in sweet potato crude extracts diluted up to 1:3,840 and 1:1,920 (wt/vol, grams per milliliter), respectively. Surprisingly, both TAS-ELISA and dot-ELISA serological approaches were more sensitive than the conventional PCR. Analyses using field-collected sweet potato samples showed that the newly developed TAS-ELISA, dot-ELISA, or tissue-print-ELISA were reliable in detecting D. dadantii in sweet potato tissues. Thus, the three serological approaches were highly valuable for diagnosis of stem and root rot in sweet potato production.

SummaryFactor VIII-Light Chain (FVIII-LC) and FVIII-Heavy Chain (FVIII-HC) were purified from human plasma by the use of immunosorbents containing monoclonal antibodies or human inhibitor antibodies. FVIII-LC was subsequently isolated in essentially pure state by cation exchange chromatography. The preparations obtained contained 50 ng of protein for each unit of FVIII-LC antigen (FVIII-LC: Ag).Affinity purified FVIII-LC and FVIII-HC preparations containing less than 0.3% of the opposite subunit were added in FVIILC inhibition assay of hemophilia A inhibitor antibodies. FVIII-LC was able to fully block the inhibitor activity in 6 out of 7 hemophilia A plasmas and partially block the inhibitor activity of one plasma. FVIII-HC only blocked FVIILC inhibiting antibodies form the plasma that was not fully blocked by FVIII-LC. It is suggested that FVIII-LC can be used for immunotherapy of the patients whose FVIILC inhibiting antibodies are directed towards FVIII-LC.When FVIII-LC was coupled to Sepharose at a concentration of 4800 units of FVIII-LC: Ag per ml Sepharose, 0.2 ml of the immunosorbent was able to bind 900 Bethesda units from 100 ml hemophilia A inhibitor plasma. This opens the possibility to remove FVIII inhibitor antibodies from circulation by extracorporeal immunotherapy with FVIII-LC coupled to Sepharose.

Clathrin was isolated from detergent-solubilized, biosynthetically radiolabeled cells by immunoprecipitation with anti-clathrin monoclonal antibodies. Immunoprecipitates obtained after pulse-chase labeling demonstrated that after biosynthesis the LCa light chain of clathrin could be found either complexed to heavy chain or in a free pool (not associated with heavy chain) which decreased steadily over time. More than half of the free LCa disappeared within the first hour after biosynthesis, but some was still detectable after several hours. Incorporation of clathrin LCa light chain and heavy chain into coated vesicles was coordinate and increased up to 4 h after biosynthesis. Comparison of these kinetics suggested that once incorporated into coated vesicles, LCa and heavy chain did not dissociate, even during depolymerization of the vesicle. There was also little apparent degradation of clathrin found in coated vesicles for up to 22 h after biosynthesis. Immunoprecipitation with anti-clathrin monoclonal antibodies was carried out after fractionation of continuously radiolabeled cell lysates using two different sizing columns. These experiments indicated that the triskelion form of clathrin that has been isolated from coated vesicles in vitro also exists in vivo. They also confirmed the existence of a transient but detectable pool of newly synthesized free LCa light chain.

Two regions on the clathrin heavy chain that are involved in triskelion interactions during assembly have been localized on the triskelion structure. These regions were previously identified with anti-heavy chain monoclonal antibodies X19 and X35, which disrupt clathrin assembly (Blank, G. S., and F. M. Brodsky, 1986, EMBO (Eur. Mol. Biol. Organ.) J., 5:2087-2095). Antibody-binding sites were determined based on their reactivity with truncated triskelions, and were mapped to an 8-kD region in the middle of the proximal portion of the triskelion arm (X19) and a 6-kD region at the triskelion elbow (X35). The elbow site implicated in triskelion assembly was also shown to be included within a heavy chain region involved in binding the light chains and to constitute part of the light chain-binding site. We postulate that this region of the heavy chain binds to the interaction site identified on the light chains that has homology to intermediate filament proteins (Brodsky, F. M., C. J. Galloway, G. S. Blank, A. P. Jackson, H.-F. Seow, K. Drickamer, and P. Parham, 1987, Nature (Lond.), 326:203-205). These findings suggest the existence of a heavy chain site, near the triskelion elbow, which is involved in both intramolecular and intermolecular interactions during clathrin assembly.

Octamer motifs contribute to the function and tissue specificity of immunoglobulin heavy- and light-chain gene promoters and the heavy-chain enhancer. A variant octamer-binding site within a conserved region of the human kappa light-chain gene enhancer which contributes to the function of this enhancer has been identified.
