Generation and Identification of Monoclonal Antibody Against Porcine Adipocyte Plasma Membrane Prote

Production of monoclonal antibody against porcine adipocyte plasma membrane proteins to explore a new way of controlling body fat deposition and improving carcass quality is discussed in this article. Membrane proteins of pig adipocyte plasma membrane proteins were extracted with the help of sucrose density gradient centrifugation, and two kinds of proteins were obtained. The monoclonal antibody (designated 3B2 and 3F3) of IgG1 and IgG2b subclass against adipocyte membrane proteins were produced by immunization, with adipocyte mem- brane proteins as an antigen, and its titer was 1:105 detected by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA). The cell strains were identified by analyzing the number of chromosomes, the heat stability, the acid and alkali, the types and subtypes of immnoglobulin, and its peculiarities and affinities. Through identification, the chro- mosome number of hybridoma cell strains was from 80 to 100 and the strains formed good hybridomas colonies. The strains’ affinity constants were 4.63 × 109 and 3.75 × 109 (mol L-1)-1, respectively. At the same time, the McAb secreted was stable to environmental factors, such as, temperature, acid, alkali and so on. The mono- clonal antibodies had been obtained and their specificity to porcine adipocyte plasma membrane proteins had been identified.
