title: Mapping of the epitope on lipoprotein lipase recognized by a monoclonal antibody (5D2) which inhibits lipase activity.
abstract: A monoclonal antibody, 5D2, which inhibits human lipoprotein lipase (hLPL) activity has been widely used for assessment of LPL immunoreactive mass in the clinical evaluation of patients [1] and for analysis of structure-function relationships of LPL [2,3]. We have mapped the epitope on LPL, recognized by the 5D2 antibody, within residues 396-405. Ala400 is the critical amino acid residue conferring epitope specificity. This knowledge confirms that the C-terminal domain of LPL plays a critical role in LPL activity and also provides important information for studies exploring the structure-function relationship of LPL using this antibody.
