Monoclonal antibodies to cyanogen bromide fragments of glycophorin A.
Eleven mouse monoclonal antibodies directed against epitopes on CNBr peptides of the major sialoglycoconjugate of the human red blood cell, glycophorin A, have been produced by hybridomas derived from P3-X63-Ag8.653 myeloma cells and spleen cells from BALB/c mice immunized with purified glycophorin. The monoclonal antibodies could be divided into four groups according to their reactivities with CNBr peptides in a direct ELISA assay: one antibody (6B5) that binds solely to the aminoterminal octapeptide (CNBr3); two antibodies (8F10 and 9C3) that bind to CNBrl (residues 9-81); two antibodies (3D2 and 4C6) that are reactive with CNBr2, The C-terminal portion of the molecule (residues 82-131); six antibodies (1B4, 4C3, 4E7, 7B10, 7C11 and 9D6) which are cross-reactive with an epitope on both CNBr1 and CNBR3 glycopeptides. This cross-reactive epitope(s) appears to involve both carbohydrate and protein residues.
