The obtaining of an anti-human CD40 mono-clonal antibody with special functions and the analysis of it's biological effects / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

objective: To prepare mouse anti-human CD40 antigen functional monoclonal antibody and to further study it's biological effects by triggering the Cd40 molecules on B cells and dendritic cells(DCs) Methods: Using cell fusion, McAb screening immunofluorescence analysis immunoblotting and competition test obtain mouse anti-human CD40 McAb;by the proliferation assay of B cells and DCsand the analysis of expression of differentiation antigens on DCs. Results: On the basis of phenotype analysis, Western blotting and competition test, it is verified that 5Cll recognizes human CD40 antigens specially; 5Cll can augement the proliferation of tonsil B cells in the LCD32cells and IL-4 culturing system; 5Cll can medicate DCs to get proliferation and maturatio. Conclusion: 5Cll+LCD32 +IL4 can make tonsil resting B cells survive and long-term proliferate in vitro, the setup of CD40 System furnish necessary tool for the study of B cells; McAb5Cll also triggered the generation, proliferation and maturation of dendritic cells from peripheral blood monocytes. Thus 5Cll is a McAb withspecial function and important application value.
