[Preparation and identification of monoclonal antibody against human Flt-1]
1Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Tianjin, China.
Aim:
To prepare functional monoclonal antibodies(mAb)against recombinant human Flt-1(rhFlt-1).
Methods:
A cell line stable secreting mAb was established by using FLT-1 extracellular domain III as antigen and hybridoma technique. Then it was purified in large-scale from mouse ascites by protein G affinity chromatography. The characteristics of mAb were then determined by ELISA, Western blotting and FACS.
Results:
The immunoglobin subtype of mAb XA12 was IgG1 with kappa (κ) light chains, and it could recognize rhFlt-1 specifically. Furthermore, mAb XA12 could bind to rhFlt-1with high affinity (K=1.28±0.05 nmol/L). It could also be used to detect Flt-1-positive cells, such as human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) and K562/A02 in a dose-dependent fashion.
Conclusion:
A hybridoma cell line secreting functional anti-rhFlt-1 mAb was successfully prepared. The antibody can be used to study the function of Flt-1 and further potentially optimized for clinical purpose.
