摘要:
A monoclonal antibody reacting specifically with the factor Xa-tissue factor pathway inhibitor complex (Xa.TFPI) but not with free factor X, free factor Xa and free tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI); a hybridoma excreting this monoclonal antibody; and a method for immunologically assaying the factor Xa-tissue factor pathway inhibitor complex by using this monoclonal antibody.
摘要:
A cell supporting matrix which enables the cells to be supported at a high efficiency and at a high density in a short period is provided. The cell supporting matrix comprises a cell supporting layer 7 for supporting the cells, and a skin layer 8. The cell supporting layer 7 has formed therein a plurality of large pores 5 having a larger pore size and a plurality of communicating pores 6 having a smaller pore size. The large pores 5 are in finger-like structure form and are distributed in the cell supporting matrix 4. The longitudinal axis of the large pores 5 extends substantially in the flow direction of the fluid passing through the cell supporting matrix 4. The large pores 5 do not extend through the cell supporting matrix 4. The communicating pores 6 are formed such that their pore size decreases from the surface to the interior of the cell supporting matrix 4. The pore size of the communicating pores 6 range from below to beyond the size of the cells to be supported on the matrix 4.
摘要:
A novel protein having the activity of suppressing the differentiation and/or maturation of osteoclasts and methods of the production of the same. This protein is produced from human fetal pulmonary fibroblasts and has a molecular weight of about 60 KD under reductive conditions or about 120 KD under nonreductive conditions. It can be isolated and purified from the culture medium of the above-mentioned cells. Alternatively, it can be produced by genetic engineering techniques. The invention also provides a cDNA for the genetic engineering production of the protein, an antibody showing an affinity specifically for the protein, and a method for assaying the protein with the use of this antibody.

Human hematopoietic stem cells expressing recombinant DNA constructs encoding a recombinant molecule containing a signal transducing region and an antigenic specificity region results in the generation of T cells with altered specificities.
摘要:
Using human annexin-V or human annexin-V plus dog annexin-V as antigen(s), hybridoma cell lines are prepared which are capable of producing anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibodies having a binding specificity to antigenic determinant site on annexin-V as antigenic protein and belonging to immunoglobulin G class. By the hybridoma cell lines are produced the anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibodies, with which a diagnostic agent is provided for diagnosis of myocardial infarction and angina pectoris. There is also provided diagnosis of myocardial infarction and angina pectoris using a first and a second monoclonal antibodies produced by the hybridoma cell lines to quantitate human annexin-V in a sample, in which an antigen-antibody reaction on annexin-V in the sample is caused with the first anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibody to form an annexin-V antigen/anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibody complex, the antigenic site of annexin-V of the formed annexin-V antigen/annexin-V monoclonal antibody complex is allowed to be bound with a labeled anti-annexin-V polyclonal or second monoclonal antibody so as to form a labeled form of said annexin-V antigen/anti-annexin-V monoclonal antibody complex bound with the polyclonal or the second monoclonal antibody, and the labeled form of the complex is quantitatively analyzed.
摘要:
A process for efficiently producing a foreign protein, in particular, a novel foreign protein suitable for the expression of a recombinant antibody with eucaryotic cells by the genetic recombination techniques, wherein a cell containing a foreign gene introduced thereinto can be cultured in a serum-free medium by using as a host cell for foreign gene expression a fused cell obtained by the fusion of mouse myeloma with a lymphoid cell and culturable in a serum-free medium.
摘要:
Disclosed is a monoclonal antibody specific to tumor-associated mucin glycoprotein, and a method as well as a kit for detecting the tumor-associated mucin glycoprotein. The monoclonal antibody is secreted and produced by hybridoma 7D9-233.
