The study of mucin-associated proteins is limited largely due to the lack of specific probes. In this study, we produced a monoclonal antibody, MAbHT10, against a 190-kDa mucin associated-protein by immunizing mice with hamster airway mucin purified in nondissociative condition. Using HT10, the 190-kDa mucin-associated protein was characterized immunologically. The 190-kDa mucin-associated protein is glycoprotein and HT10 recognized carbohydrate containing portion of the protein. The association of 190-kDa protein with mucin is strong enough that heat and detergent treatment is required to dissociate it from mucin as evidenced by gel filtration chromatography, Western blot, enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA), and co-immunoprecipitation. The expression of the 190-kDa protein is increased with the development of hamster tracheal epithelial cells in culture, but showed differences with the pattern of the regulation of mucin expression. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a known strong mucin secretagogue, dose-dependently increased mucin release but caused only marginal increase in the release of the 190-kDa protein. The MAb should be useful in the structural and functional analysis of the 190-kDa mucin-associated proteins in physiological and pathological situations such as chronic airway diseases.","PeriodicalId":55044,"journal":{"name":"Hybridoma","volume":"20 2 1","pages":"123-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/02724570152057625","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60498758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It recognized an antigen expressed in the surface membrane of T-cell lines, but not of U937, lymphoblastoid B cells (LBC), K562, Raji or Daudi cells, indicating selectivity for the T-cell lineage. In addition, it labelled 70-80% of normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), with high expression on the erythrocyte rosetting (E+) fraction, and low/absent expression on E- cells. However, CD4+ T cells expressed higher levels of reactivity than CD8+ or gammadelta+ T-cell receptor (TCR)+ lymphocytes in PB. Furthermore, in 7 of 10 individuals tested, 7.34+/-3.88% of unselected PBMC were CH11- CD3+ and were relatively enriched in CD8+ and in gammadelta TCR+-cells. In addition, thymic gammadelta T cells, and gammadelta lymphoproliferations from two patients were nonreactive or weakly reactive with the MAb. Activation of E+ cells with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) enhanced CH11 expression uniformly, whereas activation with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) selectively down-regulated expression of the antigen on the CD8+ subset. In Western blots performed in nonreducing (NR) conditions, MAb CH11 detected a 100 kDa molecule in PBMC and Jurkat T-cell lysates. Preincubation of T cells with MAb CH11 specifically abrogated their subsequent reactivity with MAb to CD6, suggesting that MAb CH11 is recognizing an epitope of CD6. Given its function as a receptor for ligands on thymic epithelium, activated leukocytes and synoviocytes, this newly defined heterogeneity of expression and regulation of the CD6 molecule on subsets of T cells may help determine their functional repertoire in vivo.","PeriodicalId":55044,"journal":{"name":"Hybridoma","volume":"20 2 1","pages":"75-84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/02724570152057562","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60498750","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To gain functional insights for Ring1B, we raised the mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against murine Ring1B protein. Using these antibodies, we have detected specifically mouse, human and monkey Ring1B gene products from whole cell extracts in immunoblot and immunoprecipitation analyses. Immunofluorescent staining by the antibodies has shown that endogenous Ring1B proteins clearly co-localize with Ring1A at the pattern of diffuse nuclear speckles. Together with their sequence similarity, Ring1B also may function as a Pc-G protein.

Its small size and excessive solubility have made the S-tag an excellent fusion partner in the production of recombinant proteins, and a large variety of applications have been reported using the S-tag as a carrier. While S-tagged proteins were mostly detected and analyzed so far by use of their affinity to S-proteins, monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) for this tag have been not available. The generation of antibodies specific for S-tagged proteins is expected to broaden the range of applications of such S-tag fused recombinant proteins, and in this context, a novel MAb termed ATOM-2 was generated that specifically binds S-tagged proteins, which have been expressed using pET-vectors. Antigen specificity of ATOM-2 was confirmed in Western blot and enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay analysis, and using a series of amino acid deletion mutants, the binding epitope of ATOM-2 was precisely mapped. This showed that ATOM-2 recognizes the C-terminal part of the 15-meric S-tag in context with a few residues of vector encoded sequences. The core sequence for ATOM-2 binding epitope is \"His-Met-Asp-Ser-Pro-Asp-Leu-Gly-Thr,\" which is present in all pET-expression vectors encoding S-tag fusion proteins.
