Anti-Grass xylan preparations [LM27] monoclonal antibody

Invented by Prof Paul Knox from PlantProbes
Invented at University of Leeds

Info

Catalogue Number 157885
Antigen/Gene or Protein Targets Heteroxylan, specifically it binds strongly to heteroxylan preparations from grass cell walls.
Synonyms Xylan, β-1,4-linked xylose
Relevance Plant cell walls are complex composites of structurally distinct glycans that are poorly understood in terms of both in muro inter-linkages and developmental functions. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are versatile tools that can detect cell wall glycans with high sensitivity through the specific recognition of oligosaccharide structures.
Host Rat
Immunogen RG-I oligosaccharides coupled to BSA
Positive Control IgM
Myeloma Used IR983F
Notes Two male Wistar rats were injected with 25 μg of RG-I oligosaccharides coupled to BSA in complete Freund’s adjuvant administered sub-cutaneously on day 0, with the same amount administered with incomplete Freund’s adjuvant on days 28 and 63. On day 133, the rat was given a pre-fusion boost of 1 mg immunogen in PBS by intraperitoneal injection. Spleen lymphocytes were isolated 3 days later and fused with rat myeloma cell line IR983F (Bazin 1982). Hybridoma cells were selected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using the coupled oligosaccharides as the immobilised antigen and this led to the isolation of rat MAb LM27.
