title: Monoclonal antibodies against discoidin I and discoidin II of the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum.
abstract: The preparation and properties of monoclonal antibodies against carbohydrate-binding proteins (discoidin I and discoidin II) in the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum are described. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) ndI,II-1 bound both discoidins I and II specifically. mAb nI-1 and mAb dI-1 bound only discoidin I but their binding specificities were different: nI-1 recognized the native form and dI-1 the denatured form. mAb dII-1 bound only denatured discoidin II. In preliminary work mAbs dII-1 and nI-1 were found to be useful for localizing discoidins I and II immunohistochemically.
