Bovine FSH (bFSH) was used to immunize BALB/c mice. Spleen cells were fused to the SP 2/0 cell line to produce hybridomas that secreted monoclonal antibodies to bFSH. One of these antibodies (USDA-bFSH-MC28) was extensively characterized and found to be a gamma 1 with kappa light chains, having extremely low cross-reactivity with other bovine pituitary hormones and with ovine and porcine FSH. The dissociation constant as measured by Scatchard analysis was 4.3 nmol/l, and proved to be in a very useful range for affinity chromatography. In an essentially one-step immunoaffinity chromatography procedure, bFSH was easily isolated in a single chromatographic step from crude anterior pituitary homogenate with better yield and with the same purity as classical chromatographic techniques.

D002846 Chromatography, Affinity A chromatographic technique that utilizes the ability of biological molecules, often ANTIBODIES, to bind to certain ligands specifically and reversibly. It is used in protein biochemistry. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Chromatography, Bioaffinity,Immunochromatography,Affinity Chromatography,Bioaffinity Chromatography
D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

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.
