title: Monoclonal antibodies to plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) of eel (Anguilla japonica).
abstract: Six week-old female mice (Balb/c) injected intraperitonealy with 50 micrograms of eel high density lipoprotein (HDL) emulsified with equal volume of adjuvant three times every two weeks. Three weeks after the third injection, hyperimmunized mice were boosted by injection of 100 micrograms of HDL. After 5 days, the best responding mouse to injected HDL was sacrificed, and spleen cells were fused with mouse myeloma cells (Sp2/O-Ag14), and hybridomas were cultured in a selection medium. Monoclonal antibodies specific to apolipoprotein A-I or A-II (apoA-I or apoA-II) of HDL were obtained by cloning and recloning the hybridomas. Eighteen monoclonal antibodies specific to apoA-I and/or apoApII were isolated. Antibodies in the culture medium were purified by a HiTrap Protein G or an eel-HDL column. These purified antibodies belong to the subclass IgG1. The monoclonal antibodies specific to eel apoA-I and apoA-II secreted by clone 10D12 and 2G3, respectively, interact with serum proteins of some fish species such as red-sea bream and carp. The anti-eel apoA-I antibody of 10D12 did not bind to serum proteins of rat, rabbit, and chicken, while the anti-eel apoA-II of 2G3 antibody did.
