We have developed two monoclonal antibodies to human lipocortin-1 (103 and 105) as reagents for quantitating the protein in biological systems and neutralizing its activity. Lipo 105 is a high affinity antibody that is functional in ELISA and Western blot formats. The antibody recognizes a site between amino acids 30 and 55 in the lipocortin-1 sequence and can be used on native or denatured protein. Lipo 103 is an antibody that neutralizes the phospholipase A2 inhibitory activity of lipocortin-1 by blocking binding of the protein to phospholipid surfaces. The antibody is specific for native human lipocortin-1. Lipo 103 was recently shown to block lipocortin-1-dependent differentiation of a squamous carcinoma cell line, demonstrating its usefulness as a probe for function.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D010446 Peptide Fragments Partial proteins formed by partial hydrolysis of complete proteins or generated through PROTEIN ENGINEERING techniques. Peptide Fragment,Fragment, Peptide,Fragments, Peptide
D010449 Peptide Mapping Analysis of PEPTIDES that are generated from the digestion or fragmentation of a protein or mixture of PROTEINS, by ELECTROPHORESIS; CHROMATOGRAPHY; or MASS SPECTROMETRY. The resulting peptide fingerprints are analyzed for a variety of purposes including the identification of the proteins in a sample, GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS, patterns of gene expression, and patterns diagnostic for diseases.

D003488 Cyanogen Bromide Cyanogen bromide (CNBr). A compound used in molecular biology to digest some proteins and as a coupling reagent for phosphoroamidate or pyrophosphate internucleotide bonds in DNA duplexes. Bromide, Cyanogen
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.
