Eight different rat hybridoma cell lines have been produced which secrete MAbsAbbreviations: BSA, bovine serum albumin; ELISA, enzymelinked immunosorbent assay; MSA, murine serum albumin; PBS, phosphate‐buffered saline; MAb, monoclonal antibody; s.c., subcutaneous.
identifying the melanoma‐specific B700 antigen. This antigen has been previously shown to have significant sequence homology to the mammalian serum albumins, but antibodies specifically raised against B700 cross‐react only with murine albumin. Each of these MAbs has been shown by Western immunoblotting to recognize an independent epitope on the B700 protein; it is concluded not only that the B700 protein is a highly immunogenic antigen, but also that the sequence homologies between the B700 antigen and murine albumin must occur extensively throughout the molecule.
