Mouse hybridoma clones were isolated, and found to constitutionally secrete monoclonal antibody (MoAb) immunoglobulins specific for human hematopoietic stem cell growth factor (SCGF). MoAbs were initially screened by dot-blotting and enzyme immunoassay (EIA), and their specificity was confirmed using western blotting and EIA. Protein A-purified MoAb IgG neutralized SCGF activity, namely, granulocyte-macrophage colony potentiating and erythroid burst-promoting activities. The availability of MoAb could extend its application to one-step immunoadsorbent affinity-purification of SCGF as well as analysis on its receptor.
