[The isolation and characteristics of monoclonal antibodies to Mycobacterium smegmatis and M. kansasii]. 1996

Immunization of BALB/c mice with sonicates of M. smegmatis and kansasii and fusion of splenocytes of the immunized mice with cells of syngeneic myeloma P3X63Ag8653 yielded hybrid clones synthetizing antibodies to these antigens. The selection of hybrid clones and analysis of the antibodies specificity were performed at ELISA using the immunization antigens and antigens from other mycobacteria and E. coli. To define immunoglobulin class of the antibodies the authors used antiglobulin sera of class A, M, G. The monoclonal antibodies belonged to IgG. Molecular mass of polypeptides carrying the epitope against which the antibodies were directed was measured at immunoblotting. Two antibodies reacted only with M. smegmatis, 38 and 10 kD proteins. The other 2 cross-reacted with other mycobacteria and were directed against epitopes on polypeptides varying in molecular mass.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D009170 Nontuberculous Mycobacteria So-called atypical species of the genus MYCOBACTERIUM that do not cause tuberculosis. They are also called tuberculoid bacilli, i.e.: M. abscessus, M. buruli, M. chelonae, M. duvalii, M. flavescens, M. fortuitum, M. gilvum, M. gordonae, M. intracellulare (see MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM COMPLEX;), M. kansasii, M. marinum, M. obuense, M. scrofulaceum, M. szulgai, M. terrae, M. ulcerans, M. xenopi.

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.

D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody
