Tandem Repeat Region

The human cancer antigen 125 (CA125) is over-expressed in epithelial ovarian cancer cells and it plays a role in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer. This protein presents a repeat region containing up to sixty tandem repeat units. The anti-CA125 monoclonal antibodies have been previously classified into three groups: two major families, the OC125-like antibodies and M11-like antibodies, and a third group, the OV197-like antibodies. A model in which a single repeat unit contains all the epitopes for these antibodies has been also proposed, even if their exact position is still undetermined. In the present work, the affinities of the monoclonal antibodies, representative of the three families, have been investigated for different CA125-recombinant repeats through Western blot analysis. Different patterns of antibody recognition for the recombinant repeats show that CA125 epitopes are not uniformly distributed in the tandem repeat region of the protein. The minimal region for the recognition of these antibodies has been also individuated in the SEA domain through the subcloning of deleted sequences of the highly recognized repeat-25 (R-25), their expression as recombinant fragments inE. coliand Western blot analysis. Obtained data have been further confirmed by ELISA using the entire R-25 as coating antigen.

A Korean isolate of the sacbrood virus infecting Apis cerana (AcSBV-Kor) is the most destructive honeybee virus, causing serious economic damage losses in Korean apiculture. To address this, here, we attempted to develop an assay for the rapid detection of AcSBV-Kor based on immunochromatographic detection of constituent viral proteins. Genes encoding VP1 and VP2 proteins of AcSBV-Kor were cloned into an expression vector (pET-28a) and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). During purification, recombinant VP1 (rVP1) and VP2 (rVP2) proteins were found in the insoluble fraction, with a molecular size of 26.7 and 24.9 kDa, respectively. BALB/c mice immunized with the purified rVP1 and rVP2 produced polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) such as pAb-rVP1 and pAb-rVP2. Western blot analysis showed that pAb-rVP1 strongly reacted with the homologous rVP1 but weakly reacted with heterologous rVP2. However, pAb-rVP2 strongly reacted not only with the homologous rVP2 but also with the heterologous rVP1. Spleen cells of the immunized mice fused with SP2/0-Ag14 myeloma cells produced monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) such as mAb-rVP1-1 and mAb-rVP2-13. Western blot analysis indicated that pAb-rVP1, pAb-rVP2, mAb-rVP1-1, and mAb-rVP2-13 reacted with AcSBV-infected honeybees and larvae as well as the corresponding recombinant proteins. These antibodies were then used in the development of a rapid immunochromatography (IC) strip assay kit with colloidal gold coupled to pAb-rVP1 and pAb-rVP2 at the conjugate pad and mAb-rVP1-1 and mAb-rVP2-13 at the test line. One antibody pair, pAb-rVP1/mAb-VP1-1, showed positive reactivity as low as 1.38 × 103 copies, while the other pair, pAb-rVP2/mAb-VP2-13, showed positive reactivity as low as 1.38 × 104 copies. Therefore, the antibody pair pAb-rVP1/mAb-VP1-1 was selected as a final candidate for validation. To validate the detection of AcSBV, the IC strip tests were conducted with 50 positive and 50 negative samples and compared with real-time PCR tests. The results confirm that the developed IC assay is a sufficiently sensitive and specific detection method for user-friendly and rapid detection of AcSBV.

Please address reprint requests to Professor H. Breer, Universität Stuttgart, Hohenheim Farbenstrasse 30, 7000 Stuttgart 70 1. Monoclonal antibodies affecting the ligand binding of the neuronal acetylcholine receptor were prepared. 2. A clone was detected which produced antibodies that increased [125I]-αbungarotoxin binding, but decreased [3H]acetylcholine binding. 3. Western blot analysis established that these antibodies did not recognize the receptor protein, but labelled a 20xl03Mr polypeptide. 4. This putative regulatory polypeptide was purified and was found to inhibit [125I]-α-bungarotoxin binding to pretreated neuronal membranes.

SummaryWe have produced a panel of ten monoclonal antibodies specific to coagulation factor XI. Western blot analysis demonstrates that 9 of these antibodies react with the heavy chain of factor XI and one with the light chain. Seven of these antibodies inhibit factor XI and factor XIa activity.We have used immobilised monoclonal antibody for the production of factor XI deficient plasma and to purify factor XI to homogeneity with high yield in a simple two-step procedure. These monoclonal antibodies were used to develop highly sensitive immunoassays capable of detecting less than 0.01 u factor XI antigen ml−1. A strong correlation was found between antigen and activity levels in 11 patients with hereditary deficiency indicating that none was cross-reacting material positive. Cultured Hep G2 cells were found to synthesize small amounts of factor XI antigen and this could also be detected by functional assay and by western blot analysis.

AbstractThe development of (1→3,1→4)-β-glucan 4-glucanohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.73) has been examined in germinating wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Millewa) grain, and in isolated aleurone layers and scutella. Activity is first detected in extracts of intact grain 2–3 days after the initiation of germination and thereafter increases until 6 days. In isolated aleurone layers, (1→3,1→4)-β-glucanase activity is secreted for up to 4 days. Treatment of aleurone layers with gibberellic acid (GA3) results in a 2-fold enhancement of secreted enzyme for the first 2 days, but activity decreases after 2 days. (1→3,1→4)-β-Glucanase secretion from GA3-treated aleurone layers clearly precedes the secretion of amylase and (1→4)-β-xylanase. Small but significant levels of cellulase are secreted from aleurone layers after GA3 treatment. Isolated scutella also secrete (1→3,1→4)-β-glucanase but GA3 has little apparent effect on secretion patterns from this tissue. Proteins secreted from excised aleurone layers and scutella, together with those in homogenates of intact, germinated grain, have been examined by Western blot analysis, using monoclonal antibodies against barley (1→3,1→4)-β-glucanases as probes. In each case the wheat (1→3,1→4)-β-glucanase is recognised only by the monoclonal antibody that is specific for barley isoenzyme El.
