A panel of mouse monoclonal antibodies to rat and human myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) was developed. Normal mice were unresponsive to rat MAG, and successful immunization with rat MAG was only achieved in autoimmune NZB mice. By contrast, all strains of mice were responsive to human MAG. The monoclonal antibodies developed differ with respect to immunoglobulin type, their specificity for human and/or rat MAG, and their recognition of protein or carbohydrate epitopes in MAG. In general, the antibodies that react with the protein backbone recognize both rat and human MAG, whereas a large number of the monoclonal antibodies recognize a carbohydrate determinant in human MAG that is not in rat MAG. Immunocytochemical staining of adult human spinal cord with the monoclonal antibodies resulted in periaxonal staining of myelin sheaths similar to that produced by well-defined, rabbit, polyclonal anti-MAG serum. In addition, the antibodies recognizing carbohydrate determinants in human MAG strongly stained oligodendrocyte cytoplasm. These monoclonal antibodies will be of value for the further chemical and biological characterization of MAG.
