Murine monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific for DNA-RNA hybrids were successfully produced with two different heteropolymers as antigens, cDNA-mRNA and phi X174 DNA-RNA heteroduplexes. The former was simpler to prepare. Both had shown similar immunogenicities. Two different immunoglobulin M MAbs were isolated. The 20D3 MAb, generated with the phi X174 DNA-RNA hybrid, showed association constants of 1.05 x 10(12), 2.12 x 10(10), and 1.68 x 10(7) for the antigens phi X174 DNA-RNA, cDNA-mRNA, and poly(rA)-poly(dT), respectively. The 6B5 MAb, obtained with the cDNA-mRNA hybrid, showed association constants of 1.59 x 10(5), 5 x 10(12), and 7.1 x 10(8) for the above-described antigens, respectively. With the 20D3 MAb, an immunoassay was developed for the detection of Listeria DNA-RNA hybrids. In brief, a biotinylated rRNA gene probe specific for the genus Listeria was hybridized with rRNA in the solution phase. The hybrids thus formed were then captured in microtiter plate wells precoated with the purified 20D3 MAb, and the probe-target hybrids were detected with a streptavidin-alkaline phosphatase conjugate. This assay was shown to be specific for the genus Listeria and highly sensitive, allowing the detection of as little as 2.5 pg of target rRNA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008087 Listeria A genus of bacteria which may be found in the feces of animals and man, on vegetation, and in silage. Its species are parasitic on cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals, including man.
D008807 Mice, Inbred BALB C An inbred strain of mouse that is widely used in IMMUNOLOGY studies and cancer research. BALB C Mice, Inbred,BALB C Mouse, Inbred,Inbred BALB C Mice,Inbred BALB C Mouse,Mice, BALB C,Mouse, BALB C,Mouse, Inbred BALB C,BALB C Mice,BALB C Mouse
D009692 Nucleic Acid Heteroduplexes Double-stranded nucleic acid molecules (DNA-DNA or DNA-RNA) which contain regions of nucleotide mismatches (non-complementary). In vivo, these heteroduplexes can result from mutation or genetic recombination; in vitro, they are formed by nucleic acid hybridization. Electron microscopic analysis of the resulting heteroduplexes facilitates the mapping of regions of base sequence homology of nucleic acids. Heteroduplexes, Nucleic Acid,Heteroduplex DNA,Acid Heteroduplexes, Nucleic,DNA, Heteroduplex
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D004269 DNA, Bacterial Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of bacteria. Bacterial DNA
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.
