title: Monoclonal antibodies against human synovial phospholipase A2.
abstract: Four monoclonal antibodies (HP-1, HP-2, HP-3 and HP-4) with differing reactivities were raised against human synovial fluid phospholipase A2. None of them bound to exocrine phospholipases A2, such as those from pancreas or snake venom. However, antibodies HP-1 and HP-3 showed cross-reactivity with rabbit and rat platelet secretory phospholipases A2, which share common enzymatic and structural features with the human synovial enzyme. Antibodies HP-1, HP-2 and HP-3 inhibited the activity of human synovial phospholipase A2. The antibodies were used to develop a rapid immunoaffinity column chromatographic procedure for enzyme purification. In some preparations, the recovery of total activity after immunoaffinity column chromatography was more than 100% suggesting the existence of endogenous inhibitory factors of phospholipase A2 in human synovial fluid.
