Monoclonal antibody against human fibronectin which inhibits cell attachment.
Monoclonal antibodies have been prepared against both human and bovine fibronectin. Evidence is provided which indicates that nine different antigenic determinants are recognized by the ten antihuman fibronectin monoclonal antibodies isolated. One monoclonal antibody was identified that blocked fibronectin mediated cell attachment without interfering with fibronectin binding to collagen. Sensitive ELISA assays for fibronectins derived from 32 mammalian species have been developed with the monoclonal reagents characterized in this study.
