The purpose of this investigation was to demonstrate the presence of different species (subpopulations) in the purified human tracheobronchial mucin (HTM-1). Mucin was highly purified from sputum specimens collected from a cystic fibrosis (CF) patient using a protocol involving sequential chromatography on Bio-Gel A-5m and hydroxylapatite columns. SDS-composite gel electrophoresis followed by periodic acid-Schiff's reagent staining was unable to detect mucin species. However, using enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB) method and polyclonal antibodies raised against HTM-1, at least four different migrating mucin species were detected. Further immunological characterization of these mucin species was carried out using a library of 16 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) developed against the purified mucin. Nine MAbs belonged to the IgM class, two MAbs were IgG1, one IgG2a and remaining four were of the IgG3 subclass. Periodate oxidation of the mucin antigen was used to establish the nature of the mucin epitopes recognized by the MAbs. 11 MAbs recognized carbohydrate epitopes in the mucin molecule that were sensitive to periodate, while five MAbs reacted with periodate resistant carbohydrate epitopes or the protein portion of the mucin molecule. Enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot analysis of the MAbs against HTM-1 showed the presence of at least three distinct mucin species. Chromatography of the mucin on immunoaffinity columns (MAbs H(13.3), M(33.3) and CCK 061 conjugated to CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B), followed by ELISA and EITB analyses, established the mucin species recognized by the antibodies. These experiments further indicated that both unique and shared epitopes were present in the mucin species. These monoclonal antibodies may provide a promising approach to differentiate the secretory products of the tracheobronchial tree.

D009077 Mucins High molecular weight mucoproteins that protect the surface of EPITHELIAL CELLS by providing a barrier to particulate matter and microorganisms. Membrane-anchored mucins may have additional roles concerned with protein interactions at the cell surface. Mucin
D009093 Mucus The viscous secretion of mucous membranes. It contains mucin, white blood cells, water, inorganic salts, and exfoliated cells.
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction

D003550 Cystic Fibrosis An autosomal recessive genetic disease of the EXOCRINE GLANDS. It is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CYSTIC FIBROSIS TRANSMEMBRANE CONDUCTANCE REGULATOR expressed in several organs including the LUNG, the PANCREAS, the BILIARY SYSTEM, and the SWEAT GLANDS. Cystic fibrosis is characterized by epithelial secretory dysfunction associated with ductal obstruction resulting in AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION; chronic RESPIRATORY INFECTIONS; PANCREATIC INSUFFICIENCY; maldigestion; salt depletion; and HEAT PROSTRATION.
