چکیده

background: monoclonal antibody technology allows identification of amastigote-specific antigen in human tissue biopsies and search for a suitable vaccine candidate, which may induce a long lasting immunity.   objectives : production and partial characterization of seven monoclonal antibodies against leishmania tropica promstigotes.   methods: seven murine monoclonal antibodies of the igg isotype were produced against the stationary stage promastigotes of leishmania tropica .    results: extensive cross reactivity was found within 4 reference strains and isolates from the patients.  non-leishmanial antigens were not recognized by any of the antibodies.  one antibody recognized a diffuse band 64 to 86 kda, and the other 6 recognized 1, 2, or more bands in immunoblotting of soluble antigens of promastigotes.  the reaction of these 7 antibodies with the soluble extracts of 4 reference strains of leishmania and 10 isolates from patients was studied.    conclusion: although these antibodies were not suitable for identification purposes, the characterization of shared epitopes may be considered in studying the antigenic structure of these organisms.  further experiments may confirm the idea that some of these epitopes are suitable vaccine candidates.

Production and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies Recognizing a Common 57-kDa Antigen of Leishmania Species

Background: The therapy of leishmania infection is difficult and each year 1.5 million new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis and 500,000 new cases of visceral leishmaniasis are estimated, therefore, there is a need for an effective vaccine. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) is one of the suitable methods for isolation and purification of leishmania antigens. In this report, we produced several mAb aga...

PRODUCTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES TO CLOSTRIDIUM PERFRINGENS ENTEROTOXIN DERIVED FROM DIFFERENT ANIMAL SPECIES

The enterotoxins (ETs) of Clostridium perfringens isolated from enterotoxemic or diarrheic alpacas, pigs, calves, dogs, and horses were obtained from sporulated cell extracts. The ETs from alpaca, pig, and calf isolates were chromatographed on Sephadex G-lOO. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against ETs derived from alpaca, pig, and calf C. perfringens isolates were produced. The MAbs were used...
