Abstract

A hybridoma clone secreting rat monoclonal antibody (MAB) designated as 3F3.5F and which reacted with a population of activated tumoricidal mouse peritoneal macrophage (M phi) was produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells with rat spleen cells immunized against adherent BCG-activated mouse peritoneal exudate cells (adherent BCG-PEC). The antibody was cytotoxic and of the rat IgM class. The specific reactivity of the antibody with mouse primary cells and cell lines was examined by complement-dependent cytotoxicity and indirect immunofluorescence flow cytometry analysis. The antibody was found to bind to about 40% of the adherent BCG-PEC activated in vivo and elicited peritoneal macrophages activated in vitro by lymphokine and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), to about 35% of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) 15 hr after intraperitoneal injection of BCG, to about 30% of bone marrow cells from BCG-infected mice, to about 10% of P815 mastocytoma cells and to thioglycollate-induced PEC to some degree. It did not bind to other cells tested including BCG-induced peritoneal lymphocytes, non-tumoricidal PEC, thymocytes, spleen cells, resting bone marrow cells from normal mice, lymphomas, myelomas, fibroblasts, or macrophage-cell lines.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
