Monoclonal antibody to human plasma gelsolin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Human plasma gelsolin was purified by column chromatography. The method yielded a protein of high purity and activity. Using this protein, we produced monoclonal antibody (Mab H6B11) against human plasma gelsolin by somatic cell fusion. This monoclonal antibody reacted in a dose-dependent manner with gelsolin derived from human plasma and platelets and neutralized depolymerizing activity to F-actin. It differed from the commercially available substance (Mab G4896; Sigma) in that the time required for the reaction between the antigen and antibody in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay could be shortened by one-third. The antibody was judged to be useful in assays for elucidating the physiological role of plasma gelsolin.

Plasma gelsolin facilitates interaction between β2 glycoprotein I and α5β1 integrin
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by thrombosis and the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) that directly recognizes plasma β(2)-glycoprotein I (β(2) GPI). Tissue factor (TF), the major initiator of the extrinsic coagulation system, is induced on monocytes by aPL in vitro, explaining in part the pathophysiology in APS. We previously reported that the mitogen-activated p...
متن کاملTopological assignment of the N-terminal extension of plasma gelsolin to the gelsolin surface.
The actin-binding protein gelsolin is highly conserved in vertebrates and exists in two isoforms, a cytoplasmic and an extracellular variant, generated by alternative splicing. In mammals, these isoforms differ only by an N-terminal extension in plasma gelsolin, a short sequence of up to 25 amino acids. Cells and tissues may contain both variants, as plasma gelsolin is secreted by many cell typ...

Background: Human CD34 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed in human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the small- vessel endothelial cells of a variety of tissues. CD34 plays a critical role as a marker for diagnosis and classification of leukemia. Anti CD34 antibodies are used for isolation and purification of HSCs from bone marrow, peripheral blood and cord blood. Objective: ...

Background: Human plasminogen is a plasma glycoprotein synthesized mainly in the liver. Conversion of plasminogen to plasmin by plasminogen activators is a key event in the fibrinolytic system. In this study, we investigated the effects of two anti-human plasminogen monoclonal antibodies, A1D12 and MC2B8 on Glu-plasminogen activation in presence of u-PA, t-PA and streptokinase. Methods: Produci...
