Three monoclonal antibodies capable of specifically inhibiting hemagglutination of human rotavirus were produced. Their hemagglutination inhibition (HI) activity was specific to the homologous strain (KUN) used for immunization. The monoclonal antibodies with HI activity were highly effective in neu

β¦ Synopsis
Using immunoperoxidase staining method, a human monoclonal antibody (MAb), termed HB4C5, which was generated by fusion of NAT-30 cells with regional lymph node lymphocytes from a lung cancer patient, was examined for tumor specificity. The determinant recognized by HB4C5 MAb was well preserved in usual formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Experiments with four major histological types of the lung cancer showed that HH4C5 MAb reacted with adenocarcinoma (19/27), squamous cell carcinoma (2/15), and large cell carcinoma (4/6), but not with small cell carcinoma (0/7). The immunoreaction was seen in the cytoplasm. In addition, this MAb also reacted with some gastric and colon adenocarcinomas. Further study on normal lung and nonpulmonary tissues revealed that HI34C5 MAb bound only type I1 pneumocytes and proximal tubules of normal kidney.

MAb were derived from mice immunized with cells of the human neuroblastoma line IMR-32. Five hybridomas were selected according to their selective binding to human cell lines, tumors and normal tissues. One of them, CE7, reacted with all sympatho-adrenomedullary cells (neuroblastoma, ganglioneurobla
Anti-actin monoclonal antibodies were prepared using phalloidin-stabilized actin that was purified from pea roots by DNase I affinity chromatography. One monoclonal antibody, designated mAb3H 1 1, bound plant actin in preliminary screenings and was further analyzed. Immunoblot analysis showed that t
