Preparation of two anti-human CD40L monoclonal antibodies and analysis of their biological functions / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To prepare mouse anti human CD40L antigen monoclonal antibody and study its biological characteristics and functions.Methods:Using CD40L transfected cell as antigen,cell fusion,mAb screening,immunofluorescence,Western blot and competitive test,obtain two mouse anti human CD40 mAb.Their biological functions are evaluated by the analysis of the effect of the Daudi cell proliferation and the mixed lymphocyte reaction.Results:On the basis of phenotype analysis and competition test,it was evidenced that 1B1 and 4F1 recognized different epitopes of human CD40L antigen specially,and they could reverse the growth inhibition of Daudi cell mediated by CD40L transfected cells and reduce MLR in different extents.Conclusion:Two stable hybridomas murine anti human CD40L monoclonal antibodies have been obtained and antibodies(1B1?4F1)showed a obviously blocking function for CD40/CD40L signal.
