title: Application of a new monoclonal antibody for time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay of human pancreatic phospholipase A2.
abstract: A monoclonal antibody, designated 2E1, against human pancreatic phospholipase A2 was produced by hybridization of myeloma cells with spleen cells of immunized BALB/c mice. The hybridomas were screened for antibody production by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA). The antibody was found to belong to subclass I of murine IgG. The specificity of the antibody was confirmed by immunohistochemistry of pancreatic and other tissues, by immunoblotting of a crude aqueous extract of human pancreas and purified human pancreatic phospholipase A2 and by TR-FIA. A solid-phase time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay was developed by using the monoclonal anti-phospholipase A2 antibody as the catching antibody and a polyclonal sheep anti-phospholipase A2 antibody labelled with europium as the detecting antibody. The validity of the new TR-FIA of human pancreatic phospholipase A2 was confirmed by using it to measure the phospholipase A2 concentrations in serum samples from healthy subjects and from patients suffering from acute pancreatitis.
