Monoclonal antibody mapping of structural and functional plectin epitopes
To map structural and functional epitopes of the cytomatrix protein plectin, a set of mAbs was prepared by immunization of mice. Using immunoblot analysis of plectin fragments obtained after limited digestion with various proteases, two groups of mAbs were distinguished. The epitopes of one group (1) were located on a 130-kD terminal segment of the plectin 300-kD polypeptide chain, whereas thos...
متن کاملNeutralizing Monoclonal Antibodies against Disparate Epitopes on Ricin Toxin’s Enzymatic Subunit Interfere with Intracellular Toxin Transport
Ricin is a member of the A-B family of bacterial and plant toxins that exploit retrograde trafficking to the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as a means to deliver their cytotoxic enzymatic subunits into the cytoplasm of mammalian cells. In this study we demonstrate that R70 and SyH7, two well-characterized monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against distinct epitopes on the sur...
متن کاملMolecular and structural analysis of the panallergen profilin B cell epitopes defined by monoclonal antibodies.
Interactions of five mouse mAb (10A4, 5F2, 9A7, 9G4 and 3H8) and sunflower profilin were characterized using synthetic overlapping peptides. All the continuous B cell epitopes analyzed in this work were 6-10 amino acids in length, and clustered at the N- and C-terminal alpha-helices and a two-stranded segment composed of residues 40-50. Mutational analysis of the epitopes revealed that single a...
متن کاملDerivation of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies against rotavirus.
Monoclonal antibodies were derived against the SA11 simian, NIC bovine, and Wa human rotavirus strains and characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, plaque neutralization, and hemagglutination inhibition. Several strain SA11-specific antibodies were found to have neutralizing and hemagglutination-inhibiting capacity.
متن کاملTopographical and functional mapping of epitopes on hog cholera virus with monoclonal antibodies.
Competitive binding studies and antigen capture assays were done with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised against hog cholera virus (HCV) to map the corresponding epitopes. A model was constructed in which the 13 epitopes were situated in four distinct antigenic domains: A, B, C and D. Domain A was subdivided into A1, A2 and A3. The functional relevance of this model was assessed by the charact...
