Abstract

The subcellular, intralobular distributions and intracellular partner(s) of a factor which inhibits the proliferation of cell growth (Hashimoto C. et al. (1994) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1221, 107-117) were determined in hamster livers, using a combination of immunological and biochemical techniques. The IgG fraction from an antiserum raised against the growth inhibitory factor with 37 kDa was shown to be highly specific for the antigen. The nuclear and cytosolic fractions demonstrated inhibitory effects on cell growth and Western blot analysis revealed that both fractions contained the immunoreactive 37 kDa protein with the anti-inhibitory factor IgG but microsomal and mitochondrial fractions did not. The nuclear and cytoplasmic localization of the inhibitory factor were further confirmed by immunochemical staining mediated through the immune IgG and an avidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase complex, the parenchymal liver cells were clearly stained, but endothelial and connective tissue cells were not. Although some staining was evident throughout the liver parenchyma, the hepatocytes with most intensively stained nuclei were located in the periportal region. In the liver from hamsters 6 days old or the regenerating hamster l...Continue Reading

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.
