Thrombopoietin (TPO) is a megakaryocyte growth and differentiation factor that is currently being investigated as a therapeutic for cancer patients undergoing myelosuppressive chemotherapy. We generated monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for human thrombopoietin (hTPO) by genetic immunization using an hTPO expression plasmid and an adjuvant plasmid that encodes mouse granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and interleukin-4 (IL-4). All genetically immunized mice exhibited a high humoral immune response. Splenocytes from these mice were used to generate hybridomas. Two MAbs, designated 2B9A10 and 4C16B15 (of IgG1 and IgG3 isotypes, respectively), were subsequently selected and produced. They specifically recognized and precipitated recombinant hTPO produced by mammalian cells and were effective in sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for hTPO quantitation. Our results demonstrate that these MAbs should be useful for purification and quantitation of hTPO in clinical and laboratory settings.

D003412 Cricetulus A genus of the family Muridae consisting of eleven species. C. migratorius, the grey or Armenian hamster, and C. griseus, the Chinese hamster, are the two species used in biomedical research.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D006224 Cricetinae A subfamily in the family MURIDAE, comprising the hamsters. Four of the more common genera are Cricetus, CRICETULUS; MESOCRICETUS; and PHODOPUS. Cricetus,Hamsters,Hamster

D006825 Hybridomas Cells artificially created by fusion of activated lymphocytes with neoplastic cells. The resulting hybrid cells are cloned and produce pure MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES or T-cell products, identical to those produced by the immunologically competent parent cell. Hybridoma
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
