Abstract

Triton X-100 extracted ciliary membrane protein from isolated cilia, prepared from the protozoon Tetrahymena thermophila, were fractionated by affinity chromatography on columns with covalently bound fibroblast growth factor (FGF), insulin, or concanavalin A (ConA), respectively. The eluted proteins were further analyzed by electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gels, isoelectric focusing, and by immunoblotting techniques using antibodies against the FGF receptor, platetelet derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor alpha-subunit, and insulin receptor beta-subunit. The particular antibodies were chosen because the peptides PDGF, FGF, insulin, and ConA are chemoattractants in this organism and corresponding binding (receptor) proteins could be expected to be identified. A 66 kDa protein fraction was eluted from the FGF-MiniLeak agarose, insulin-MiniLeak agarose and ConA sepharose. This fraction responded in Western immunoblots to an antibody against the beta-subunit of the human insulin receptor, to an antibody against the PDGF receptor (PDGFR) and also to an antibody against the bovine FGF receptor (FGFR) that is known, in other systems, to inhibit FGF binding to its receptor. When analyzed by SDS-PAGE and stained...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.
