Three murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against human pancreatic elastase 2 (ELS-2) were produced by hybridomas obtained from the fusion of murine myeloma cells, P3X63-Ag8.-653, with the splenocytes of mice immunized with recombinant human proELS-2 (r-proELS-2) and purified natural ELS-2. These MAbs were found to recognize the different epitopes of ELS-2 based on a competitive binding assay. In addition, one of the MAbs, E19, reacted with the activation peptide of ELS-2. Western blot analysis performed under nonreducing conditions indicated that all MAbs bound only to ELS-2 in pancreatic juice in addition to natural ELS-2. Reduced ELS-2 on a Western blot could not be detected with E19, indicating that the activation peptide remained attached to active ELS-2 via a disulfide bond even after tryptic activation. Another MAb, B4, inhibited the enzymatic activity of ELS-2, indicating that B4 recognized the active site or its vicinity to ELS-2.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007120 Immunochemistry Field of chemistry that pertains to immunological phenomena and the study of chemical reactions related to antigen stimulation of tissues. It includes physicochemical interactions between antigens and antibodies.
D009500 Neutralization Tests The measurement of infection-blocking titer of ANTISERA by testing a series of dilutions for a given virus-antiserum interaction end-point, which is generally the dilution at which tissue cultures inoculated with the serum-virus mixtures demonstrate cytopathology (CPE) or the dilution at which 50% of test animals injected with serum-virus mixtures show infectivity (ID50) or die (LD50). Neutralization Test,Test, Neutralization,Tests, Neutralization
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
D010196 Pancreatic Elastase A protease of broad specificity, obtained from dried pancreas. Molecular weight is approximately 25,000. The enzyme breaks down elastin, the specific protein of elastic fibers, and digests other proteins such as fibrin, hemoglobin, and albumin. EC 3.4.21.36.
