Abstract Spleen cells of BALB/c mice, immunized with fragments Y of normal human fibrinogen, were fused with P3 X 63 Ag 8653 myeloma cells. A clone was found which produces monoclonal antibodies (Mab-Y18) of the IgM kappa type. Mab-Y18 is immunoreactive with normal human fibrinogen, and its fragments X, Y, N-terminal disulphide knot, A alpha-chain, and A alpha stretch 1–51. The immunoreactivity with these same fragments disappears upon treatment with thrombin or arvin. This strongly suggests that fibrinopeptide A is an essential component of the Mab-Y18 epitope. This is supported by the finding that Mab-Y18 prolongs the thrombin and arvin clotting times of human fibrinogen by inhibition of the fibrinopeptide A release. More detailed information about the nature of the Mab-Y18 epitope was obtained from studies with genetic variants of human fibrinogen (especially fibrinogen Metz) and with fibrinogens from other mammalian species. These studies show that amino acid residue A alpha 16 (arginine) of fibrinopeptide A is essential for the Mab-Y18 epitope. Mab-Y18 does not react with free fibrinopeptide A.

Six kinds of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) systems were developed for the quantitative analysis of hormone-disrupting chemicals (HDCs), such as estrogen (ES: the total amount of estrone (E1), 17 β-estra (E2) and estriol (E3)), E2, bisphenol A (BPA), alkylphenol (AP), phthalate esters (PE) and chlorophenols (CP). To generate specific monoclonal antibodies against BPA, AP, PE, CP, hybridoma cells were produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and spleen cells from mice immunized with carboxylated derivatives, while anti E2 monoclonal antibody was selected from those available on the market, and anti ES monoclonal antibody was purchased from Teikoku Hormone Mfg Co. Ltd. The detection limits of ES, E2, BPA, AP, PE and CP ELISAs were 0.1, 0.1, 5, 10, 200, 10 μg/L, when E2, E2, BPA, Nonylphenol (NP), Dibutylphthalate (DBP), 2,4-CP were used as standard, respectively, and the specificity of each ELISA was confirmed with the cross-reaction test using several compounds which have structural resemblance to the compounds of interest.

Abstract Balb/c mice were immunized with human plasmin-generated fibrinogen degradation product Y. Spleen cells were fused with P3X63-Ag8.653 myeloma cells. A clone (Y22) was found that produces monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) with a strong reactivity with human fibrin and only a weak reactivity with fibrinogen in an enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Y22 also reacts with fibrin of rabbits, rats, sheep, and dogs. The antibodies are of the IgG1 kappa-type and appear to be directed against a conformation-dependent epitope in the D-domain of fibrin. Experiments with 99mTc-labeled Y22 in vitro show that Y22 binds rapidly to forming clots. 99mTc-Y22 also binds to preformed plasma clots in a plasma milieu, even in the presence of high concentrations of heparin. Clot localization experiments in rabbits and rats confirm the high fibrin specificity and the potential of 99mTc-Y22 for thrombus imaging in vivo.

Introduction: CD45 is a common marker of leukocytes. Anti-human CD45 monoclonal antibody (MAb) has been used widely in diagnosing and monitoring hematologic diseases. The aim of this study was to generate an anti-human CD45 MAb, which can be used in research and diagnosis. Methods: Recombinant human CD45RO antigen was expressed from E. coli BL21 (DE3), purified and analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The purified CD45RO antigen was used to immunize Balb/c mice. Spleen cells from immunized mouse were collected and fused with P3X63Ag8.653 myeloma cells to form hybridoma. Anti-CD45 antibody-secreting capacity of hybridoma clones was evaluated by ELISA assay. Anti-CD45 MAb from the culture supernatant of the chosen hybridoma clone was purified by affinity chromatography. The MAb was characterized the biochemical characteristics and biological activity. Results: Recombinant human CD45RO antigen was expressed and purified from E.coli BL21 (DE3). Injection of purified CD45RO antigen provoked the immune response in Balb/c mice. Hybridoma clones were generated successfully by the fusion of spleen cells from the selected immunized-mouse and myeloma cells. Among these hybridoma clones, one with the highest yield of MAb production was identified. The isotype of the anti-CD45 MAb created in this work is IgG2b, while its the light chain is kappa (k) type. The affinity of this MAb with CD45RO antigen is high with Kd value at the picomolar level. The anti-CD45 MAb can interact with CD45 naturally expressed on the surface of Jurkat cells in Western blotting and fluorescent immuno-staining assay. Conclusion: We have developed successfully an anti-human CD45 MAb using hybridoma technology, which can recognize CD45 in ELISA, Western blotting, and fluorescent immuno-staining analysis. Although further investigations are necessary, obviously, our anti-human CD45 MAb is potential for research and diagnosis applications.

Monoclonal antibodies with specificity for autoreactive murine T cells have been developed. These antibodies inhibit proliferative response of splenic T cells activated by syngeneic spleen cells. These antibodies have no effect on the proliferative response of T cells activated by allogeneic spleen cells or PHA. The number of splenic T cells that react with these monoclonal antibodies is comparable in several normal mouse strains.

Spleen cells of a BALB/c mouse immunized with factor VIII procoagulant activity (VIII:C) (isolated by affinity chromatography) were fused with mouse myeloma cells (P3 x 63 Ag8). After the fusion 12/32 wells produced an inhibitor to VIII:C. Cells from one well (1B3) were subcloned four times in order to isolate the hybridoma that produces the anti-VIII:C antibody. Injection of hybridoma cells in pristane pretreated BALB/c mice results in anti-VIII:C titers of 5000–10,000 Bethesda U/ml. Analysis of the produced immunoglobulin demonstrated heavy chains of IgG1 (produced by the myeloma cell line) and IgG2b subclass. The 1B3 antibody neutralizes VIII:C in LMW FVIII, crysosupernatant, cryoprecipitate, and normal plasma. It was found that binding of the IgG to FVIII results in a delay in its activation and not in an inhibition of its cofactor activity. The antibody removes VIII:C from pooled normal plasma when coupled to Sepharose; when coupled to plastic tubes, it binds VIIICAG from isolated VIII:C, purified FVIII, and pooled normal plasma; it does not bind VIIIR:AG, fibrogen, or serum VIIICAG. The 1B3 antibody can be used successfully in an IRMA for VIIICAG.

Six murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA) and enterotoxin E (SEE) were prepared by fusion of myeloma cells with mouse spleen cells immunized with SEA and SEE. Of five MAbs to SEA tested, two MAbs were reactive with only SEA, whereas three were specific for both SEA and SEE. On the other hand, one MAb to SEE was found to be specific for only SEE. To study specificities of the combining sites of these MAbs, competitive binding assays with either SEA or SEE and horseradish peroxidase conjugated MAbs were performed using unconjugated MAbs as inhibitors. The results obtained in the assays suggest that different epitopes may be located on SEA and that some of them may be cross-reacting epitopes between SEA and SEE. Key words: enterotoxins, monoclonal antibodies, Staphylococcus aureus.

Eight murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against staphylococcal enterotoxin D (SED) were obtained by fusion of myeloma cells with mouse spleen cells immunized with SED only or a combination of SED and either enterotoxin A (SEA) or enterotoxin E (SEE). When only SED was used as an immunogen, six MAbs were specific for SED only, whereas one MAb was reactive with both SED and SEE when both SEs were used as immunogens. One MAb reacted with SEA, SED, and SEE when both SEA and SED were used as immunogens. A MAb with the highest reactivity to SED was used to prepare an immunosorbent for purification of SED by immunoaffinity chromatography. Approximately 70% of the partially purified SED was recovered in the eluate. The purified SED was electrophoretically and antigenically pure. Immunoaffinity chromatography proved useful in the purification of SED in terms of ease of purification, percent enterotoxin, and enterotoxin purity. Key words: enterotoxin D, monoclonal antibodies, Staphylococcus aureus.
