Monoclonal antibodies against the mercaptoethanol-sensitive structure of a cell-cell adhesion protein of Polysphondylium pallidum. Research Abstract Details
Monoclonal antibodies were prepared against a putative cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein, with an apparent molecular mass of 64,000 (gp64), of the cellular slime mold, Polysphondylium pallidum. Five monoclonal antibodies obtained by means of an enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay did not bind to the antigens which were subjected to gel electrophoresis and blotting method in the presence of a reducing agent, but they did bind specifically to the antigens prepared in unreducing conditions of samples and then processed by the same blotting method. To solubilize gp64 in a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-sample buffer without mercaptoethanol (heated) or SDS-sample buffer with 2-mercaptoethanol (nonheated) was critical for the antibody binding onto gp64 on a membrane. Hence the antibodies seem to bind to a surface portion(s) of the localized protein structure folded up by disulfide cross-linkages. One of the antibodies obtained blocked cell-cell adhesion by about 20%.
