Production and specificity of monoclonal antibodies to retinal S antigen. 1984

J P Faure, and M Mirshahi, and C Dorey, and B Thillaye, and Y de Kozak, and C Boucheix

Hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies to the retinal S antigen were obtained by fusion of spleen cells from a BALB/c mouse immunized with purified bovine S antigen and NS-1 myeloma cells. Six cloned hybridomas were selected and expanded as large scale cultures and as ascites in mice. The specificity of the antibodies produced by these hybridomas was assessed by ELISA and immunofluorescence. All were specific for S antigen, except one which showed slight reactivity with other proteins. One antibody was specific for bovine S antigen, whereas the others showed cross reactivity with purified S antigens from various mammals. Immunofluorescence allowed to demonstrate the presence of common epitopes of S antigen in the retinal photoreceptor cells of species representative of every class of Vertebrates.

D012160 Retina The ten-layered nervous tissue membrane of the eye. It is continuous with the OPTIC NERVE and receives images of external objects and transmits visual impulses to the brain. Its outer surface is in contact with the CHOROID and the inner surface with the VITREOUS BODY. The outer-most layer is pigmented, whereas the inner nine layers are transparent. Ora Serrata

D003429 Cross Reactions Serological reactions in which an antiserum against one antigen reacts with a non-identical but closely related antigen. Cross Reaction,Reaction, Cross,Reactions, Cross
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

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.

D006825 Hybridomas Cells artificially created by fusion of activated lymphocytes with neoplastic cells. The resulting hybrid cells are cloned and produce pure MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES or T-cell products, identical to those produced by the immunologically competent parent cell. Hybridoma
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.
