摘要:
A method of producing monoclonal antibodies that bind to human cancer-associated mucin-type glycoprotein antigens comprising: (1) immunizing a host with a core structure of a mucin-type glycoprotein; (2) fusing splenocytes from said immunized host with myeloma cells to form hybridoma cells; (3) culturing said hybridoma cells on selective medium; (4) selecting hybridoma cells surviving step (3) that secrete antibody that binds to said core structure of a mucin-type glycoprotein; (5) cloning said selected hybridoma cells from step (4); (6) culturing said cloned hybridoma cells; and (7) recovering said antibody. Hybridomas and monoclonal antibodies produced by the above-described method. Methods of passive and active immunization employing the monoclonal antibodies and mucin-type glycoproteins or synthetic oligosaccharide-carrier conjugates.
摘要:
Systematic chemical analysis of glycosphingolipid (GSL) fractions from large quantities of normal human neutrophils and HL60 cells failed to detect GSL's which are binding targets of selectin. A series of long-chain, unbranched polylactosamine GSL's with a terminally sialylated, internally polyfucosylated structure bind selectins.
摘要:
The present invention discloses trifluorofucoses and methods of making the same. Also disclosed are trifluorofucose analogs of fucose-containing oligosaccharides, and conjugates of trifluorofucose. Compositions are prepared which combine the trifluorofucose-containing oligosaccharides or trifluorofucose conjugates of the present invention with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. Tumor cell metastasis, autoimmune responses or inhibition of an inflammatory process may be inhibited by such compositions.
