Popis: Bovine FSH (bFSH) was used to immunize BALB/c mice. Spleen cells were fused to the SP 2/0 cell line to produce hybridomas that secreted monoclonal antibodies to bFSH. One of these antibodies (USDA-bFSH-MC28) was extensively characterized and found to be a gamma 1 with kappa light chains, having extremely low cross-reactivity with other bovine pituitary hormones and with ovine and porcine FSH. The dissociation constant as measured by Scatchard analysis was 4·3 nmol/l, and proved to be in a very useful range for affinity chromatography. In an essentially one-step immunoaffinity chromatography procedure, bFSH was easily isolated in a single chromatographic step from crude anterior pituitary homogenate with better yield and with the same purity as classical chromatographic techniques.
