Borna disease virus-specific antigens: two different proteins identified by monoclonal antibodies

A variety of cells originating from different species, including man, can be infected with Borna disease (BD) virus. Two different virus infection-specific antigens with molecular weights of 24 kD and 35/38 kD (double band) could be demonstrated using antigen preparations from persistently infected cells and rat brains, and polyvalent antisera from naturally and experimentally infected animals. Three different monoclonal antibodies were selected. One was specific for the 24-kD protein and two others reacted with the 35/38-kD antigen. The 24- and 35/38-kD antigens could be monitored concomitantly with the appearance of newly synthesized infectious virus. Both antigens could be detected at the same time during the infection cycle, and showed identical distribution in the cell. Their relationship to one another and their possible function is discussed.     

Preparation of monoclonal antibodies against cell surface antigens in cattle

The BALB/c mice were immunized three times with bovine lymphocytes and thrombocytes in vivo. Besides, dissociated spleens of the mice were immunized with bovine lymphocytes in vitro. Hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies were formed as a result of the fusion of the spleen cells with the murine myeloma cells. On the whole, four fusions were performed after immunization in vivo and three fusions after immunization in vitro, and 70 stable hybridoma clones were obtained. Five monoclonal antibodies exhibited an identical specific reaction only with bovine thrombocytes, two antibodies reacted only with a certain limited population of bovine spleen cells. The remaining monoclonal antibodies exhibited no tissue specificity and were bound to the lymphocytes of peripheral blood, lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen, to thrombocytes, liver cells, and spermatozoa, but never to erythrocytes. As for the amount of the obtained hybridomas and specific antibodies, no significant difference was observed in the effectiveness of in vivo and in vitro immunization.     

Bovine respiratory syncytial virus-specific monoclonal antibodies

Five hybridomas were produced which secreted monoclonal antibodies to bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV). Two antibodies (8G12, 15C7) neutralized the virus and inhibited syncytia formation in vitro. These monoclonal antibodies also stained, by indirect fluorescent assay, an external envelope protein of living virus-infected cells, and recognized the 48k subunit of the viral fusion protein by Western blot analysis of bovine respiratory syncytial virus-infected cell lysates. Three other monoclonals (6A12, 14D3, 14E3) stained, by indirect fluorescent assay, acetone-fixed virus-infected cells but not living cells. Three hybridomas (6A12, 8G12, 15C7) secreted monoclonal antibody of isotype IgG1, k; two hybridomas secreted monoclonal antibody of isotype IgG2a, k. This apparently is the first report of monoclonal antibodies specific for BRSV glycoproteins.

Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against chicken lymphocyte surface antigens

A panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with specificity for chicken lymphocyte surface antigens was established and characterized based on their reactivities against chicken lymphoid cells and tumor cell lines on flow cytometry. Three mAbs (7-3G-2, 7-2E-8, and JB-2) reacted preferentially with thymocytes, however, none of them reacted with Marek's disease derived T lymphoblastoid cell lines. Four mAbs (6-27A-1, 4-5C-5, Lc-4, and Lc-6) reacted with spleen cells and peripheral blood leukocytes as well as thymocytes. All seven mAbs reacted with chicken embryonic thymocytes from day 12 of embryonic life onward. All mAbs showed no reactivity against bursal lymphocytes.     

A characterization of monoclonal antibodies prepared against Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 surface antigens.

The production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1 is described. Ten monoclonal antibodies were produced and divided, on the basis of their properties, into six different groups. One produced bacteria agglutination only of P. haemolytica serotype 1. Three antibodies bound with P. haemolytica serotypes 1, 5-8 and 12 and the antigen was identified in immunoblots as lipopolysaccharide. Two antibodies bound P. haemolytica serotypes 1, 2, 5-8 and 12 and P. multocida serotypes 1-7, 9, 12, 15 and 16, recognizing an epitope present on a 29 kDa outer membrane protein. One antibody bound all P. haemolytica and P. multocida serotypes. The antigen was a hexosamine less than 30 kDa which contained a formalin sensitive epitope. One antibody bound only to P. haemolytica serotype 1 and the antigen was identified as a 66 kDa outer membrane protein. Two antibodies bound P. haemolytica serotypes 1, 2, 5-9 and 12 and the antigen, while not identified, was localized on the outer membrane. This study identified antigens which contribute to the cross-reactions among P. haemolytica and P. multocida serotypes and the antibodies may be useful in investigating the pathogenesis of pneumonic pasteurellosis.     

Preparation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against bovine B lymphocyte surface antigens

Two monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs; BLMo-4 and BLMo-10) were prepared by immunizing with a cell line established from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) cattle. The specificities of these MoAbs were assayed using bovine PBMC. BLMo-4 reacted with all surface immunoglobulin-positive cells (SIg+ cells; B lymphocytes) and also recognized monocytes, but did not react with T lymphocytes. BLMo-10 recognized a majority, although not all, B lymphocytes, but did not react with either T lymphocytes or monocytes. The antigens recognized by BLMo-4 and BLMo-10 were not Ig, Fc or C3 receptors on the surface of B lymphocytes. The reactivity of the MoAbs with mononuclear cells from the lymphoid organs of adult cattle was studied. BLMo-4 and BLMo-10 did not react with any bone marrow cells. BLMo-10 reacted with 7.4% of thymocytes, and stained the medulla of the thymus in the immunoperoxidase assay. In the case of PBMC, spleen and lymph node cells, the percentage of cells positive for BLMo-4 was slightly higher than that of SIg+ cells, but BLMo-10 showed a slightly lower value.     

Differentiation antigens on bovine mononuclear phagocytes identified by monoclonal antibodies

Five monoclonal antibodies (MAb) produced against cell surface antigens on bovine mononuclear phagocytes (MPh) were characterized. None of the MAb recognized erythrocytes, thrombocytes, B lymphocytes or resting or activated T lymphocytes. Two MAb (IL-A22 and IL-A24) reacted with the majority of monocytes and granulocytes in peripheral blood, with 20-40% bone marrow cells comprising myelo-monocytic cells, and with a proportion of mature macrophages. Reactivity of the remaining three MAb was restricted to MPh: one of these (IL-A25) was apparently specific for pulmonary macrophages, whereas the molecules recognized by the other two (IL-A23 and CH16A) were expressed on subpopulations of blood monocytes and tissue macrophages. None of the MAb inhibited adherence of MPh to plasma-coated gelating surfaces or Fc-mediated rosette formation. One of the MAb, IL-A24, which reacts with MPh and granulocytes, inhibited antigen-specific proliferative response or peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (PBM) to the soluble antigen, keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) but did not inhibit responses to concanavalin A or allogeneic leukocytes. This MAb was shown to react with two polypeptides of approximately 75 kD and 110 kD on the surface of peripheral blood monocytes.

Isolation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against structural proteins of infectious laryngotracheitis virus

Thirteen infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV)-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were isolated after immunization of mice with purified infectious laryngotracheitis virions. On the basis of their reactions in western blot analyses of ILTV-infected cells, the MAbs were assigned to five different virus proteins or protein groups. Two of the viral target proteins could be identified after transient expression of cloned ILTV genes in eucaryotic cells. The MAbs of group II detected a 60-kD protein that was shown to be the ILTV homologue of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) glycoprotein (g)C. The MAbs of group I reacted with the positional homologue of HSV-1 gJ, which is encoded by the open reading frame (ORF) 5 gene within the unique short genome region of ILTV. The ORF 5 gene product of ILTV was previously described as a 60-kD glycoprotein (gp60), whereas multiple protein bands with apparent molecular masses of 85, 115, 160, and 200 kD were identified in the present study. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that both gC and gJ of ILTV are localized in the envelope of virus particles, whereas the 15-kD protein detected by the MAbs of group III presumably represents a tegument component. Immunofluorescence analyses of infected cells demonstrated that the epitopes of the gC- and gJ-specific MAbs are conserved in all tested ILTV isolates originating from different parts of the world and that these MAbs are also suitable for in situ antigen detection in tissues of ILTV-infected chickens. The remaining ILTV-specific MAbs recognized viral proteins of 22 kD (group IV) and 38 kD (group V) that were not further characterized up to now.     

己烯雌酚单克隆抗体免疫亲和柱的制备及应用

己烯雌酚(Diethylstilbestrol,英文缩写为DES)是一种人工合成的二苯乙烯类雌激素药,最初曾作为添加剂被添加在饲料中以促进动物生长。虽然随着其致癌性的发现,我国农业部在1997年以3号文公布禁止使用该药,但当前我国在畜禽产品及水产品中滥用DES现象依然存在,检测工作依然十分必要。目前己烯雌酚的残留检测工作已逐渐简化,而样品的前处理过程越来越成为兽药残留分析过程中的关键[1]。经典的样品前处理方法通常繁琐复杂、操作时间长、选择性差,满足不了兽药残留分析发展的新要求。免疫亲和色谱技术作为一种新的样品前处理技术被逐渐应用到…     

Monoclonal antibodies directed against Brucella abortus cell surface antigens

A panel of monoclonal antibodies (MAb) has been raised against Brucella abortus cell surface antigens from mice immunized with either heat/phenol treated or UV killed bacterial suspensions of B. abortus. The hybridomas were screened by either a microagglutination procedure or by an indirect enzyme immunoassay (EIA) on sonicated bacterial preparations. From a large number of MAb generated by various procedures, two distinct types of MAb emerged. The most numerous type was capable of agglutinating B. abortus and reacting with a soluble preparation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS). A second type was not capable of agglutinating the bacterial suspensions or of binding to the soluble LPS preparation but reacted with an antigen present in bacterial sonicates. Two MAb of this type react differentially with sonicates prepared from virulent and avirulent strains of B. abortus. There appeared to be sufficient evidence from our analysis of the relative degree of cross reaction with antigens present on a range of B. abortus strains and Brucella and xenogenic bacterial species to conclude that each of the seven MAb was recognising a separate antigenic site on the B. abortus cell surface.     

Development of murine monoclonal antibodies against an enterotoxin produced by Bacillus cereus.

Three murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were prepared against an enterotoxin (ET) produced by Bacillus cereus. Although these MAbs were found to react with the ET, their specificities appeared to be different in competitive binding assays. One of the MAbs (D-8), which was highly reactive with the ET, will be useful in developing immunological methods to detect crude ET and to isolate the ET in high yield.     

Characterization of monoclonal antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5.

Two monoclonal antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae serotype 5, designated as 5MAb-1 and 5MAb-6, were characterized. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-inhibition tests with whole-cell antigens obtained from strains of serotype 1 through 12 of A pleuropneumoniae revealed that 5 MAb-1 bound to only serotype-5 strains. The epitope recognized by 5MAb-1 was a carbohydrate that was sensitive to periodate oxidation and resided on the structure of beta-1,6-linked D-galactose in an O-antigen polysaccharide of serotype-5 lipopolysaccharide. Analysis of these results revealed that the O-antigen polysaccharide of lipopolysaccharide was 1 of the antigenic determinants responsible for the serotype specificity of A pleuropneumoniae. On the other hand, 5MAb-6 reacted with strains of serotype 1 through 10 in varying degrees and its epitope was located on polypeptides sensitive to proteinase K. In an immunoblotting analysis, 5MAb-6 reacted with 2 polypeptide bands, with molecular weights of approximately 41,500 and 28,000, in the outer membrane protein-rich fraction obtained from strains of serotype 1 through 10. These results indicated that outer membrane proteins from several serotype strains of A pleuropneumoniae possessed common antigenic determinants.     

Preparation and characterization of monoclonal antibodies against Mycoplasma bovis.

Monoclonal antibodies (mabs) against Mycoplasma (M.) bovis were prepared for use in diagnosis of bovine mastitis. From the original 32 hybridomas actively secreting mabs against M. bovis, 6 stable lines were cloned. Two of them, Mb 5D8 and Mb 4F6, recognized M. bovis antigens of estimated molecular weights of 33 and 26 kDa, respectively. They showed no cross-reaction to other bovine mycoplasmas, thus rendering them useful for specific detection of this pathogen. All mabs investigated cross-reacted with M. agalactiae which is known to be closely related to M. bovis, but does not occur in cattle. Two other mabs, Mb 5D4 and Mb 1F6, exhibited further cross-reactions to a number of bovine mycoplasma species. Finally, mabs Mb 5D5 and Mb 2G5 reacted with all mycoplasmas tested. The possibility that they recognized constituents of the broth culture medium is discussed.     

Cross-reactive proteins among eight bovine mycoplasmas detected by monoclonal antibodies

Whole cell proteins of eight bovine mycoplasmas (M. bovoculi, M. bovis, M. dispar, M. bovirhinis, M. arginini, M. verecundum, M. canadense, M. alkalescens) were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose paper. Rabbit anti-M. bovoculi serum was found to react with immunoblots of all mycoplasma species tested. These cross-reactive proteins were in the range of 35,000-100,000 molecular weight. Monoclonal antibody MA25.5 developed against a M. bovoculi 94 kDa surface protein cross-reacted with a band of 62 kDa from M. dispar and three bands of 89, 85 and 74 kDa from M. arginini only while MA18.13 that recognized a band of 57 kDa from M. bovoculi did not react with the other species. The role of MA25.5 monoclonal antibody in inhibiting the growth of M. bovoculi, M. dispar and M. arginini was tested using the metabolic-inhibition (MI) test. Monoclonal antibody MA25.5 inhibited the growth of M. bovoculi and also inhibited M. dispar growth but at lower MI titers, while it showed no effect on the growth of M. arginini.
