OBJECTIVE To produce mAb against DAF by DNA immunization followed by a single boost with cell antigen and to characterize its property. METHODS Recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1/DAF was constructed by molecular cloning technique and injected into mice quadriceps muscle of thigh. To boost the DAF immunized mice, HPB-All cell antigen were injected on day 3 before cell fusion. The affinity and property of mAb to natural membrane protein and denatured protein were identified by FCM, fluorescence microscope and Western blot. RESULTS Two mAb against DAF were obtained, namely 2B6B and 2B6E. The affinity constant of 2B6E was 1.81x10(-7) mol/L. The isotype of the two mAbs were IgG2a, and the epitope of them was different. FCM, fluorescence microscope and Western blot indicated that the obtained mAb had affinity to natural membrane protein and denatured protein with high specificity. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that the DNA immunization and cell antigen boost method enables mice to produce mAb against DAF. The low frequency of nonspecific mAb is one of the advantages of this method compared to the conventional cell immunization method. Moreover the mAb generated by this method has satisfactory binding activity and specificity.

D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid

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.

D000911 Antibodies, Monoclonal Antibodies produced by a single clone of cells. Monoclonal Antibodies,Monoclonal Antibody,Antibody, Monoclonal
D000915 Antibody Affinity A measure of the binding strength between antibody and a simple hapten or antigen determinant. It depends on the closeness of stereochemical fit between antibody combining sites and antigen determinants, on the size of the area of contact between them, and on the distribution of charged and hydrophobic groups. It includes the concept of "avidity," which refers to the strength of the antigen-antibody bond after formation of reversible complexes.

D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
