Production and properties of a monoclonal antibody against human epidermal growth factor. 1985

S Ikuta, and Y Yamada, and Y Yoshitake, and K Nishikawa

A monoclonal antibody against human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) was obtained from a mouse hybridoma cell line. The purified monoclonal antibody from the ascites fluid of a mouse injected with one of the cell lines was specific for hEGF and did not cross-react with mouse EGF (mEGF). Its Kd value for hEGF was 1.4 X 10(-9) M. This monoclonal antibody inhibited the biological activities of hEGF, including its binding to the receptor of BALB/3T3 cells and its stimulation of DNA synthesis in the cells, but did not affect the activities of mEGF. The monoclonal antibody completely inhibited DNA synthesis stimulated by human urine from a patient without a tumor, but only partially inhibited the stimulatory activity in urine from a tumor-bearing patient.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.
