Podoplanin (PDPN), a type I transmembrane sialoglycoprotein, is expressed on lymphatic endothelial cells, podocytes of the kidneys, and type I alveolar cells of the lungs. PDPN, a platelet aggregation-inducing factor, comprises three platelet aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domains (PLAG1, PLAG2, and PLAG3) in the N-terminus and PLAG-like domains in the middle of the PDPN protein. We have previously reported a mouse antipig PDPN (pPDPN) monoclonal antibody (mAb) clone, PMab-213, which was developed using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. PMab-213 is very useful in flow cytometry, Western blotting, and immunohistochemical analyses; however, the binding epitope of PMab-213, which was developed by CBIS method, remains to be elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the epitope of PMab-213 using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, flow cytometry, and immunohistochemical analyses. The results revealed that the critical epitopes of PMab-213 are Pro53, Arg54, Arg56, and Tyr60 of pPDPN.

A Hybridoma Technology for Producing Monoclonal Antibodies against a Metallopeptidase

This video demonstrates an assay to produce monoclonal antibodies against porcine aminopeptidase N (APN), a membrane-bound metallopeptidase, using a traditional hybridoma technology. Upon immunizing a mouse with APN, the spleen cells are harvested and fused with immortal myeloma cells to produce hybridomas. The hybridomas are then selected and proliferated using the HAT (hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine) medium to produce monoclonal antibodies specific to different APN...

Overlapping Peptide Library to Map Qa-1 Epitopes in a Protein

Qa-1 (HLA-E in human) belongs to a group of non-classical major histocompatibility complex 1b molecules. Immunization with Qa-1-binding epitopes has been shown to augment tissue-specific immune regulation and ameliorate several autoimmune diseases. Herein we describe an overlapping peptide library strategy for the identification of Qa-1 epitopes in a...
