Identification and application of monoclonal antibodies against aspergillus fumigatus / 中国免疫学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To produce monoclonal antibodies(McAb) against aspergillus fumigatus and to establish rapid assay for the measurement of aspergillus fumigatus antigen.Methods:Recombinant galactomannoprotein of aspergillus fumigatus(AFMP1) was used to immune BALB/c mice.Monoclonal antibodies against AFMP1 were produced from hybridoma.Results:Three hybridomas producing antibodies against AFMP1 were obtained.IgG isotypes of three McAb were IgG1,IgG2a and IgG2b.The affinity constants(K) were 1.2?10 10 ,4.56?10 9 and 1.81?10 10 mol/L.The antibodies were proved to be specific for aspergillus fumigatus by Western blot and recognized different epitopes on AFMP1 by the additivity assay.An sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) to detect AFMP1 was established to produce standard curve which showed linearity between 0.1～60.0 ng/ml with a sensitivity of 0.1 ng/ml.Conclusion:These results show three hybridomas producing high specificity and affinity monoclonal antibodies against AFMP1 and can provide for rapid assay for the measurement of aspergillus fumigatus antigen.
