Abstract

We have developed a monoclonal antibody AF-28 that specifically recognizes a neo-epitope on polypeptides with N-terminal FFGVG ... sequences. This sequence is found at the N-terminus of aggrecan fragments that have been digested with matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). By immunoblotting, monoclonal antibody AF-28 specifically detected G2 fragments derived from an aggrecan G1-G2 substrate digested with stromelysin, collagenase, gelatinase and matrilysin, but failed to detect G2 fragments obtained from elastase, trypsin or cathepsin B digests. Undigested G1-G2 was not detected. In addition, AF-28 antibody detected fragments derived from whole aggrecan and this detection did not require prior treatment with chondroitinase or keratanase. Competition experiments confirmed that peptides containing internal ... FFGVG ... sequences were not detected by the antibody, while native MMP-digested aggrecan fragments and a synthetic 32-mer peptide with FFGVG ... N-termini were equally competitive on a molar basis. An FFGVG 5-mer, and an FGVGGEEDI9-mer which lacked the N-terminal phenylalanine residue, were 50 times and 230 times respectively less competitive than the FFGVG ... 32-mer. Two fragments from the interglobular domain, F342-F373 and F...Continue Reading
