[Preparation of monoclonal antibodies against chorionic gonadotropin receptor and study of its characteristics].
We reported the production of monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against chorionic gonadotropin hormone (CG) receptor by fusing spleen cells of BALB/c mice which had been immunized by purified bacteria (Pseudomonas maltophilia) CG receptor with mouse myeloma line SP2/0. Four hybridoma cell lines secreting CG receptor McAbs were obtained (ED490 DG390, AB890 and GE590). The titers of specific antibodies of both mice ascites and culture supernatant were 10(-2)-10(-6) and 1-10(-2) respectively, by solid phase ELISA. Double-Immunodiffusion test showed that the McAb GE590 was IgG1, and the McAbs ED490, DG390 and AB890 were IgG2b Immunoprecipitation indicated that 125I-HCG could bind the HCG receptor which had reacted with McAbs ED490, AB890 and DG390, suggesting that they may recognize the receptor with different antigenic determinant. Interaction of McAb GE590 with the receptor showed that the increased concentration of GE590 was in inverse proportion to the amount of 125I-HCG binding receptor, indicating that both the McAb and 125I-HCG could recognize a common site of receptor and that increased concentration of McAb GE590 may induce some change in conformation and structure of the receptor. Our study suggested that these McAbs may be used for studying structure of CG receptor.
