Title: Preparation of polyclonal antibodies to an anti-tumor (1----3)-beta-D-glucan, schizophyllan. Author: Tabata K, Itoh W, Hirata A, Sugawara I, Mori S. Journal: Agric Biol Chem; 1990 Aug; 54(8):1953-9. PubMed ID: 1368605. Abstract: Antibodies against Schizophyllan (SPG) or SPG conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were raised in rabbits by multiple subcutaneous immunization. The titer of SPG-reactive antibodies in the antiserum to SPG-BSA conjugate was significantly higher than in the antiserum to SPG as assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The SPG-reactive antibodies purified by affinity chromatography using a Protein A-Sepharose CL-4B column interacted with the SPG-BSA conjugate spotted on a nitrocellulose membrane filter in a dose-dependent manner, but the anti-SPG antibodies did not interact with BSA. Immunocytochemical staining has also shown that the anti-SPG antibodies reacted with SPG taken up by mouse peritoneal macrophages.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
