Most Mycobacterium leprae carbohydrate-reactive monoclonal antibodies are directed to lipoarabinomannan.
Each of more than 30 monoclonal antibodies that had been raised against Mycobacterium leprae and previously classified as reactive with carbohydrate was shown to be directed against lipoarabinomannan, a prominent, highly pervasive, myo-inositol-phosphate-containing, cross-reactive antigen within the leprosy bacillus. Some of the antibodies preferentially bound to the lipopolysaccharide of M. le...
متن کاملHuman monoclonal antibodies against Mycobacterium leprae.
Human hybridomas were constructed which produce antibodies against three different extracts of Mycobacterium leprae. A thioguanine-resistant (Thgr), ouabain-resistant (Ouar), human lymphoblastoid cell line, KR-4, was hybridized with Epstein-Barr virus-transformed cell lines from lepromatous leprosy patients with fusion frequencies of greater than 10(-5). Non-Epstein-Barr virus-transformed donor...
متن کاملMonoclonal Antibodies Reactive
The 3 murine monoclonal antibodies, Yps1, Yps2 and Yps3 reactive to Y. pseudotuberculosis can be stabilized and all were found to be of IgG type. Monoclonal antibody, Yps1, recognized a glycoprotein antigen of the organism with reactivity at the 55-75 kDa region, while Yps2 and Yps3 recognized protein antigens of Y. pseudotuberculosis 65 kDa and 26-28 kDa molecular weight regions, respectively....
متن کاملTruncated structural variants of lipoarabinomannan in Mycobacterium leprae and an ethambutol-resistant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Current knowledge on the structure of lipoarabinomannan (LAM) has resulted primarily from detailed studies on a few selected laboratory strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium bovis BCG, and Mycobacterium smegmatis. Our previous work was the first to report on the salient structural features of M. tuberculosis clinical isolates and demonstrated significant structural variations. A ...
متن کاملMonoclonal Antibodies
SUMMARY Monoclonal Antibodies are identical antibodies and Can be generated in ultimated amounts by countinuos cultures of single antibody- secreting cells. These cell lines are produced by cell fusion of normal lymphocytes to cells of a myeloma tumor cell line, which confers on the antibody producing hybrid cell, immortality and the ability grow as atumor in animals. monoclonal antibodies c...
