Monoclonal nonspecific suppressor factor (MNSF), a product of a murine T cell hybridoma, suppresses the antibody response to lipopolysaccharide. In an attempt to clarify the N-terminal sequence, MNSF was prepared and purified by affinity chromatography with the use of an anti-MNSF monoclonal antibody (MO6), and reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography. On the SDS-PAGE, the purified MNSF showed a single band with a molecular weight of 12,000. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the protein was determined and showed no strong homology to any of the sequences of known biologically active proteins. However, the sequence revealed significant (60%) amino acid identity to transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF beta 2).

D000595	Amino Acid Sequence	The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION.

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.

D013491	Suppressor Factors, Immunologic	Proteins, protein complexes, or glycoproteins secreted by suppressor T-cells that inhibit either subsequent T-cells, B-cells, or other immunologic phenomena. Some of these factors have both histocompatibility (I-J) and antigen-specific domains which may be linked by disulfide bridges. They can be elicited by haptens or other antigens and may be mass-produced by hybridomas or monoclones in the laboratory.

D016415	Sequence Alignment	The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
