This paper describes the development of quantitative immunoassays utilizing mouse monoclonal antibodies which are monospecific to type II collagen. The monoclonal antibodies were characterized and tested extensively for reactivity against a panel of antigens including actin, myoglobin, thyroglobulin, ssDNA, tetanus toxin and different types of collagens including their CnBr-derived peptides. Four monoclonal antibodies having strict monospecificity to type II collagen were selected. Quantitative immunoassays developed with these antibodies can measure either type II collagen in its native conformation or type II collagen-derived cyanogen bromide peptides. The assay conditions such as coating concentration of antigen, monoclonal antibody concentration, second antibody concentration and incubation times were optimized to obtain maximum possible sensitivity. These quantitative immunoassays can be employed to measure type II collagen or type II collagen-derived peptides in low amounts ranging from 20 to 100 ng/ml. The assays can be applied to chondrocyte cultures without interference from serum components or other collagen types.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010446	Peptide Fragments	Partial proteins formed by partial hydrolysis of complete proteins or generated through PROTEIN ENGINEERING techniques.	Peptide Fragment,Fragment, Peptide,Fragments, Peptide
D002813	Chondrosarcoma	A slowly growing malignant neoplasm derived from cartilage cells, occurring most frequently in pelvic bones or near the ends of long bones, in middle-aged and old people. Most chondrosarcomas arise de novo, but some may develop in a preexisting benign cartilaginous lesion or in patients with ENCHONDROMATOSIS. (Stedman, 25th ed)	Chondrosarcomas
D003094	Collagen	A polypeptide substance comprising about one third of the total protein in mammalian organisms. It is the main constituent of SKIN; CONNECTIVE TISSUE; and the organic substance of bones (BONE AND BONES) and teeth (TOOTH).	Avicon,Avitene,Collagen Felt,Collagen Fleece,Collagenfleece,Collastat,Dermodress,Microfibril Collagen Hemostat,Pangen,Zyderm,alpha-Collagen,Collagen Hemostat, Microfibril,alpha Collagen
D003488	Cyanogen Bromide	Cyanogen bromide (CNBr). A compound used in molecular biology to digest some proteins and as a coupling reagent for phosphoroamidate or pyrophosphate internucleotide bonds in DNA duplexes.	Bromide, Cyanogen
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.

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.	Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D000911	Antibodies, Monoclonal	Antibodies produced by a single clone of cells.	Monoclonal Antibodies,Monoclonal Antibody,Antibody, Monoclonal
D014407	Tumor Cells, Cultured	Cells grown in vitro from neoplastic tissue. If they can be established as a TUMOR CELL LINE, they can be propagated in cell culture indefinitely.
