title: A monoclonal antibody to DNA modified with osmium tetroxide/2,2'-bipyridine.
abstract: A murine monoclonal antibody (IgG) has been generated that binds to DNA modified with osmium tetroxide in the presence of 2,2'-bipyridine and does not interact with unmodified DNA. Reactivity of the antibody was tested by gel retardation assay, ELISA, dot-binding assay and immunoblotting. The results obtained suggest that the antibody does not cross-react with modified or unmodified RNA or proteins. The high specificity of the binding reaction is due to the specific recognition of modified deoxythymidine residue by the monoclonal antibody. A possible way of using the antibody produced is discussed.
