Monoclonal antibody producing hybridomas were developed by fusing spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized against canine glomeruli with SP2 myeloma cells. Monoclonal antibody reactivity was tested using an indirect immunofluorescence assay on various normal canine tissues and canine kidney affected with glomerulonephritis. Two of the hybridomas developed (3H2 and 3A5) reacted with glomeruli and not with renal tubules. Antibody produced by hybridoma 3A5 also reacted with smooth muscle of all other tissues tested and 3H2 with lung tissue. Antigens recognized by monoclonal antibodies were studied by assessing their heat stability and susceptibility to proteolysis and neuraminidase digestion. Antigen and antibody molecular weights were determined by using a western blotting technique. Glomerular proteins that reacted with antibody produced by hybridoma 3H2 had molecular weights ranging from approximately 92,500 daltons to 200,000 daltons. Antigens reacting with both monoclonal antibodies were likely protein antigens. It was concluded that monoclonal antibodies would be useful in the study of glomerular antigens in normal dogs and dogs with glomerulonephritis.

D009130	Muscle, Smooth	Unstriated and unstriped muscle, one of the muscles of the internal organs, blood vessels, hair follicles, etc. Contractile elements are elongated, usually spindle-shaped cells with centrally located nuclei. Smooth muscle fibers are bound together into sheets or bundles by reticular fibers and frequently elastic nets are also abundant.

D005455	Fluorescent Antibody Technique	Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.
