The recombinant VHHs have a high potential as alternative reagents for the next generation of immunoassay. In particular, they might be very useful for molecular mimicry. The present study demonstrated an alpaca immunized with the F（ab＇）z fragment of anti-aflatoxin B1 mAb and developed an important anti-idiotypic （anti-ld） responses. Antigen-specific elution method was used for panning private anti-ld VHHs from the constructed alpaca VHH library. The selected VHHs were expressed, renatured, purified, and then identified by a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Our findings indicated that the VHH would be an alternative tool for haptens mimicry studies.展开更多
Thirty-five hybridoma cell lines against cytoke-ratins, isolated from Hela cells and human cellus respectively, were generated by fusion of immunized spleen cells of BALB/C mice with P3×63-Ag8.653, a mouse myelom...Thirty-five hybridoma cell lines against cytoke-ratins, isolated from Hela cells and human cellus respectively, were generated by fusion of immunized spleen cells of BALB/C mice with P3×63-Ag8.653, a mouse myeloma cell line. Two of them (HI and C53) were characterized by indirect immu-nofluorescence, ABC immunostaining and immuno-blotting. The results of immunofluorescence and ABC immunostaining suggested that both monoclonal antibodies were specific for keratin-type intermediate filaments. However, the two monoclonal antibodies showed different specificities in normal tissues and neoplasms as observed on both frozen and deparaf-finized sections. In normal tissues, H1 stained transitional epithelium and all types of simple epithelium except endothelium and mesothelium but did not stain stratified squamous epithelium. In contrast, C35 recognized only stratified squamous epithelium, but failing to react with simple epithelium. Both monoclonal antibodies did not react with nonepithelia cells and tissues. In neoplasms, H1 stained varieties of adenocaroinomas and C35 recognized merely squamous cell carcinomas. Therefore, all the epithelial tissues can nearly be recognized by combination of the two monoclonal antibodies. All the results indicated that H1 and C35 can be used in cell biology and histology studies, and can be used in differential diagnosis of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in pathology.展开更多
