Abstract

Knowledge of the response of cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) to exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in both humans and rodents is limited. To improve the analysis of CYP1 proteins, specific CYP1B1 and CYP1A1 polypeptides were expressed as hexahistidine-tagged fusion proteins in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity and used to produce polyclonal antibodies in rabbits. Immunoblot analyses showed that these antibodies were specific and sensitive, detecting both the human and rat forms of the respective isozymes and exhibiting negligible cross-reactivity between the two known CYP1 subfamilies. We show that CYP1B1, CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 protein levels were induced in the livers of female Sprague-Dawley rats following either acute (single dose of 25 microg TCDD/kg) or chronic (125 ng TCDD/kg/day for 30 weeks) exposure to TCDD. CYP1B1 protein exhibited a dose-response to TCDD that was different from those of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2. CYP1B1 induction appeared to be less sensitive to TCDD exposure, with induction occurring at higher doses of TCDD than that required for induction of CYP1A1 or CYP1A2. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that in animals chronically exposed to TCDD (35 ng/kg/day for 30 weeks), CYP1B1 was induced ...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.
