| Popis: | Hybridoma technology was used for the production of murine monoclonal antibodies to bovine normal prothrombin. Hybrid cell cultures were assayed for the production of antibodies, both in the absence and presence of calcium ions, by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Antibody-producing cell lines were cloned two times and grown as ascites tumors. Monoclonal antibodies (McAb), isolated by affinity chromatography (Protein A-Sepharose), were tested for their affinity for normal (10-Gla) and dicoumarol-induced abnormal prothrombins containing 2, 5, 7, 8 and 9 α-carboxyglutamyl (Gla) residues. A total of 24 McAb were obtained and the immunoglobulins were of the IgG1 subclass. Nine of the twenty-four McAb did not require Ca2+ for the formation of Ag-Ab complexes, and reacted equally with normal and Gla-deficient prothrombins. These antibodies had affinity for prethrombin (PI) but not for the Gla-containing prothrombin fragment1 (Fl) portion of the molecule. In contrast, the 15 Ca2+-dependent McAb reacted with F1 but not with P1. They discriminated the abnormal prothrombins based upon their Gla content. For example, though all the Ca2+-dependent McAb formed Ag-Ab complexes with 9-, essentially none formed with 5- or less-Gla prothrombins. [Some reacted equally with 9- and 10-Gla (normal) prothrombin while others had only 25% of normal affinity for 9-Gla isomer]. Only four and twelve of the 15 McAb had some affinity for 7-and 8-Gla variants respectively. These results show that antibodies which react with the Ca2+-stabilized conformation of prothrombin are not specific for normal prothrombin, as has been reported in the literature. |
