摘要:
The present invention provides two monoclonal antibodies capable of binding to taxol and taxol-like substances which are produced by hybridomas designated 69E4A8E, having ATCC Accession No. HB11281 and 29B7B3C, having ATCC Accession No. HB11280. The present invention also provides a method for detecting the presence of taxol or a taxol-like substance in a sample, a method for screening for a ligand in a subject which is not being treated with taxol, an endogenous taxol-like substance in human serum detected by this screening method, a method of quantitatively determining the amount of taxol or taxol-like substance in a biological fluid sample and a kit for assaying for taxol or a taxol-like substance in a sample.

This invention provides a hybridoma produced by the fusion of a mouse antibody-producing cell and a mouse myeloma which is designated 1-10F-8A and deposited with the ATCC under Accession Number PTA-279, said hybridoma producing a monoclonal antibody which binds to fullerene C60. This invention provides a mouse monoclonal antibody specific for a fullerene-C60 and produced by the mouse monoclonal antibody-producing hybridoma designated 1-10F-8A. The invention provides the amino acid and encoding nucleic acid sequences of the heavy and light chains of the 1-10F-8A monoclonal antibody. This invention also provides methods of determining a serum concentration of a fullerene in a subject and of purifying a fullerene from a sample.
摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies to cyclosporine A (CsA), a potent immunosuppressant, were generated in Balb/c mice using a novel antigen prepared by linking CsA to a protein carrier via a photoactive cross-linking reagent, 4-benzoylbenzoic acid (BBa). Twenty-two monoclonal anti-CsA antibodies were generated, using CsA-BBa-bovine serum albumin (CsA-BBa-BSA) as the immunogen. Epitope mapping studies were performed using a series of singly substituted CsA derivatives and an antibody was identified that recognizes N-methyl leucine residues 9 and 10 of CsA. This antibody also cross-reacts with the HIV-1 Gag protein. A method for the detection of HIV-1 in patient samples employing this monoclonal antibody is disclosed.

This invention includes the conception of T-independent conjugate-vaccines and its application in the induction of antigen specific IgA response. We demonstrated that 1) &agr;(1,6)dextran can elicit a markedly enhanced IgA response in T-cell free mice (20-50 fold higher than in normal mice); 2)co-injection of the molecule with other antigens can enhance the IgA response to the co-antigen; and 3)a dextran-Gag conjugate can elicit the Gag-specific IgA. Thus, the invention identified &agr;(1,6)dextran as a carrier molecule for producing the T-independent conjugates and as an adjuvant for the enhancement of IgA production. The T-independent property of these conjugates makes it especially useful in vaccinations against HIV and other infectious and non-infectious diseases associated with T-cell deficiency.
