Preparation and identification of monoclonal antibodies against the adenovirus vector

摘要： Objective:To prepare and identify monoclonal antibodies(McAbs)against the capsid proteins of adenovirus vector.Methods:BALB/c mice were immunized with a mixture of the purified adenovirus vector(Adv)and Al(OH)3.McAbs were produced using cell fusion technique in a conventional way.The sensitivity and specificity of monoclonal antibodies was identified by indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),immunocytochemical staining and Western blotting. Results:Six strains of hybridoma cells(A4H11,A8C7,F1H5,G1D2,G4E3 and H2G8)that can stably secrete the IgG1 McAb against Adv were obtained.After 3 months subculture and low concentration of serum adapting culture,six strains retained their stability to secrete McAb.The ascites titers were between 1:106 and 1:108.Western blot analysis demonstrated that all the McAbs reacted with one protein(about 114 kDa)which is present in wild type 3 adenovirus(wtAd3),wild type 5 adenovirus (wtAd5),wild type 7 adenovirus(wtAd7)and adenovirus vector.Conclusion:Successfully prepared six strains of hybridoma cell secreted monoclonal antibodies against the hexon proteins of adenovirus vector,and provided the substantial foundation of preclinical research of adenovirus vectors. ... （共4頁）
