Immunosorbent Assays

Monoclonal antibodies produced from 19 cloned hybridomas were selected for this study. Specific canine distemper virus (CDV) antibodies in medium from cloned hybridomas were detected by direct enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and by indirect immunofluorescence. Three different sandwich ELISA systems were developed either to detect CDV in cell cultures and clinical specimens or to detect specific antibody in canine sera. Protein A and monoclonal antibodies attached in sequence to a solid phase constituted the capture system in the assays. Viral antigens were detected by sandwiching extracts of clinical specimens (or infected cell cultures), monoclonal antibody, and peroxidase-labeled protein A in sequence onto the capture layer. In 1 procedure, biotin-labeled antibody and peroxidase-labeled avidin were used as the last 2 layers in the assay. The CDV antibodies in dog sera were quantitated in a similar manner, but the sequential sandwiching levels consisted of partially purified CDV, serum specimen, and peroxidase-labeled protein A, respectively. The procedures were specific and highly sensitive.

Abstract Canine distemper virus (CDV) infection causes mass mortality in diverse carnivore species. For effective virus surveillance, rapid and sensitive assays are needed to detect CDV in field samples. In this study, after BABL/c mice were immunized with recombinant CDV-fusion (F) protein, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against recombinant CDV-F protein (designated 1A5, 1A6, and 7D5) were produced using traditional hybridoma cell technology. Next, capture antibody (1A6, 800 ng/well) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)–conjugated detection antibody (HRP-7D5, 1:100, 500 ng/well) were used in a double monoclonal antibody–based sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for CDV detection after optimization of both mAb amounts per well using a checkerboard titration test. Based on sandwich ELISA test results for 120 known CDV-negative samples, the cutoff value for a positive result was set to an OD450 nm value ≥ 0.196. As compared with test results obtained from commercial immune colloidal gold test strips, the low limits of detection for the two assays were revealed to be 100 TCID50 per 100 μL. In addition, the sandwich ELISA agreed 100% and 96.4% with commercial immune colloidal gold test strips when testing serum and stool samples. The sandwich ELISA assay provided statistically similar CDV detection. Thus, the sandwich ELISA developed here to detect CDV in fecal and serum samples provided good sensitivity, high specificity, and good reproducibility and should serve as an ideal method for large-scale surveillance of CDV infections in carnivores. Key points • Three CDV mAbs that recognized different epitopes and bound to virion were generated. • The sandwich ELISA based mAbs to detect CDV in fecal and serum samples was developed. • The sandwich ELISA is an ideal method for detecting CDV infections in the field.

Background:: Protein A affinity chromatography is often employed as the most crucial purification step for monoclonal antibodies to achieve high yield with purity and throughput requirements. Introduction:: Protein A, also known as Staphylococcal protein A (SPA) is found in the cell wall of the bacteria staphylococcus aureus. It is one of the first discovered immunoglobulin binding molecules and has been extensively studied since the past few decades. The efficiency of Protein A affinity chromatography to purify a recombinant monoclonal antibody in a cell culture sample has been evaluated, which removes 99.0% of feed stream impurities. Materials and Method:: We have systematically evaluated the purification performance by using a battery of analytical methods SDS-PAGE (non-reduced and reduced sample), Cation Exchange Chromatography (CEX), Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), and Reversed phased-Reduced Chromatography for a CHO-derived monoclonal antibody. Results and Discussion:: The analytical test was conducted to determine the impurity parameter, Host Cell Contaminating Proteins (HCP). It was evaluated to be 0.015ng/ml after the purification step; while initially, it was found to be 24.431ng/ml. Conclusion:: The tests showed a distinct decrease in the level of different impurities after the chromatography step. It can be concluded that Protein A chromatography is an efficient step in the purification of monoclonal antibodies.

ABSTRACT The biological properties of wild-type A75/17 and cell culture-adapted Onderstepoort canine distemper virus differ markedly. To learn more about the molecular basis for these differences, we have isolated and sequenced the protein-coding regions of the attachment and fusion proteins of wild-type canine distemper virus strain A75/17. In the attachment protein, a total of 57 amino acid differences were observed between the Onderstepoort strain and strain A75/17, and these were distributed evenly over the entire protein. Interestingly, the attachment protein of strain A75/17 contained an extension of three amino acids at the C terminus. Expression studies showed that the attachment protein of strain A75/17 had a higher apparent molecular mass than the attachment protein of the Onderstepoort strain, in both the presence and absence of tunicamycin. In the fusion protein, 60 amino acid differences were observed between the two strains, of which 44 were clustered in the much smaller F2 portion of the molecule. Significantly, the AUG that has been proposed as a translation initiation codon in the Onderstepoort strain is an AUA codon in strain A75/17. Detailed mutation analyses showed that both the first and second AUGs of strain A75/17 are the major translation initiation sites of the fusion protein. Similar analyses demonstrated that, also in the Onderstepoort strain, the first two AUGs are the translation initiation codons which contribute most to the generation of precursor molecules yielding the mature form of the fusion protein.

Abstract Two immunoglobulins secreted by hybridoma cell lines have been systematically investigated to determine if they could be used in solid-phase assays to give results comparable with those obtained by conventional liquid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA). The antibodies, BQ.1 and BQ.2, bind with high specificity to the steroid hormone progesterone. The affinity constants, Ka, to 125I-labeled progesterone derivatives are 1.1 X 10(11) L/mol and 9.1 X 10(9) L/mol, respectively. Progesterone inhibited the binding of radioiodinated derivatives (amides of tyramine, histamine, and tyrosine methylester with 11 alpha-progesterone hemisuccinate) equally well. For solid-phase assays, we immobilized antibody BQ.1 via Protein A to different polystyrene surfaces (about 30 pg per tube at 50% inhibition of radiolabeled tracer). Under these conditions, the performance of this antibody for the quantification of progesterone was equivalent to that obtained in RIA. For the immobilized antibody BQ.2, only 1/10 of the amount used for optimal results in RIA was required in solid-phase assays. Binding of either antibody to the antigen was undiminished after several freezing-thawing cycles. When immobilized on solid matrices, both antibodies retained up to 95% of their binding properties for one year. Thus high-affinity, high-specificity monoclonal antibodies can be obtained for haptens and, when suitably immobilized, can be used in solid-phase assays with results equal to or better than those obtained with liquid RIA.

Abstract Convenient, sensitive, and specific solid-phase immunoassays involving monoclonal antibody are described for the determination of human placental alkaline phosphatase (hPLAP). An endogenous enzyme immunoassay combined the specificity of the immunological and the enzymatic reactions. Alternatively, a solid-phase "sandwich" radioimmunoassay involving immobilized polyclonal rabbit anti-hPLAP in combination with iodinated monoclonal antibody provided some additional advantages. Both tests can be used to detect hPLAP from various sources, e.g., in human sera during pregnancy or as a tumor marker. The radioimmunoassay detected an increase in hPLAP at nine weeks of gestation. We discuss the use of monoclonal antibodies for the differentiation of different alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme types by electrophoresis on starch gel.

Abstract Prothrombin fragment 1.2 (F1.2) is an activation peptide generated during a critical event of blood coagulation, the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. As a marker of thrombin generation, F1.2 has clinical potential in assessing thrombotic risk and monitoring anticoagulant therapy. In developing a highly specific, monoclonal antibody-based immunoassay of human plasma F1.2, we generated six murine anti-F1.2 monoclonal antibodies, using as immunogen a synthetic peptide (sequence: CGSD-RAIEGR) similar to the unique carboxyl terminus of F1.2. Each antibody bound F1.2 but not prothrombin. Epitope mapping studies with one antibody (5-3B) showed that optimum binding required six to eight amino acids plus a terminal arginine to emulate the F1.2 carboxyl terminus. A quantitative sandwich ELISA for human plasma F1.2 was configured with monoclonal antibody 5-3B as the capture antibody and peroxidase-labeled polyclonal antibodies to the F1.2 amino-terminal region as detector antibodies. Calibrators were prepared by adding purified F1.2, 0-10 nmol/L, to F1.2-depleted plasma. Assay characteristics included the following: mean (+/- SD) analytical recovery of 98% +/- 13%; no interference from lipemia, hemolysis, icterus, or thrombolytic agents; 0.08 nmol/L sensitivity; and mean intra- and interassay imprecision (three lots) < 12% at both low and high concentrations of F1.2.

Abstract We have developed and thoroughly validated a solid-phase sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on microtiter plates for osteocalcin in human serum with use of an antibody raised against human osteocalcin. We used a monoclonal antibody against bovine osteocalcin as the capture antibody; the second antibody was a polyclonal antibody against human osteocalcin. The amount of bound second antibody was determined with use of swine anti-rabbit antibody labeled with horseradish peroxidase. We demonstrated independence of volume and determined the recovery of added standard and within- and between-assay precision. The minimal detection limit for osteocalcin was between 1.0 and 1.5 micrograms/L and the midpoint of the standard curve ranged from 14 to 17 micrograms/L. The intraassay CV was < or = 8% in the range 2.7-52 micrograms/L; the interassay CV was usually < or = 15% in the same range. Analytical recovery of human osteocalcin standard added to serum samples was consistently > 90%. Values for osteocalcin measured in serum from 44 normal subjects were similar to those obtained with a competitive enzyme immunoassay (EIA) that used a monoclonal antibody against bovine osteocalcin. There was a good correlation between the two assays [r2 = 0.877, slope and intercept (+/- SE) = 0.88(+/- 0.051) and 0.316(+/- 0.523), respectively]. The range and mean (+/- SD) for the sandwich ELISA and the competitive EIA were 1.7-18.1 micrograms/L [8.7(+/- 4.4) micrograms/L] and 1.9-22.8 micrograms/L [9.1(+/- 4.4) micrograms/L], respectively.

Isolation And Characterization

Membranes from tobacco cell suspension cultures were used as antigens for the preparation of monoclonal antibodies. Use of solid phase and indirect immunofluorescence assays led to the identification of hybridomas producing antibodies directed against cell surface epitopes. One of these monoclonal antibodies (11.D2) was found to recognize a molecular species which on two-dimensional analysis (using nonequilibrium pH-gradient electrophoresis and SDS-PAGE) was found to have a high and polydisperse molecular mass and a very basic isoelectric point. This component was conspicuously labeled by [3H]proline in vivo. The monoclonal antibody cross-reacted with authentic tomato extensin, but not with potato lectin nor larch arabinogalactan. Use of the monoclonal antibody as an immunoaffinity reagent allowed the purification of a tobacco glycoprotein which was identical in amino acid composition to extensin. Finally, immunocytological analyses revealed tissue-specific patterns of labeling by the monoclonal antibody that were identical to those observed with a polyclonal antibody raised against purified extensin. We have concluded that monoclonal antibody 11.D2 recognizes an epitope that is carried exclusively by extensin. Analysis of cellular homogenates through differential and isopycnic gradient centrifugation revealed that biosynthesis of the extensin epitope was found on or within the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi region and plasma membrane. This result is consistent with the progressive glycosylation of the newly-synthesized extensin polypeptide during its passage through a typical eukaryotic endomembrane pathway of secretion. The 11.D2 epitope was not found in protoplasts freshly isolated from leaf tissues. However, on incubation of these protoplasts in appropriate culture media, biosynthesis of the epitope was initiated. This process was not impeded by the presence of chemicals that are reported to be inhibitors of cell wall production or of proline hydroxylation.
