title: The interactions of anti-MLI monoclonal antibodies with isoforms of the lectin from Viscum album.
abstract: Monoclonal antibodies (mAb) reacting with native (TA5, TB12) and denatured (T33, T35) plant toxin mistletoe lectin I (MLI) from Viscum album have been obtained. The interaction between mAbs and native toxin with ML isoforms (MLII, MLIII) has been investigated. An immunological cross-reaction has been shown to take place for mAb TA5 (anti-A-chain of MLI) between MLII and MLIII isoforms of toxin. TA5 has not inhibited enzyme activity of the A-chain in a rabbit reticulocyte cell-free system. TB12 has been shown to react with the galactose-binding site of the B-chain. TA5 and TB12 have shown no cross-reaction with plant toxin ricin. The association constants for mAbs have been determined. The nature of heterogeneity of the lectins from Viscum album is discussed.
