Further characterization of monoclonal antibody 6,F-8 reacting with Lathyrus, Lens and Pisum lectins.
The murine monoclonal antibody (MoAB) 6,F-8 made against the glucose/mannose-specific Lathyrus odoratus mitogen has previously been shown to react with Lens culinaris and Pisum sativum lectins, but not with the lectin from Vicia faba [(1988) Biol. Chem. Hoppe-Seyler 369, 365-370]. The reactivity against seven other completely sequenced Lathyrus lectins has now been tested after separation of the subunits by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electroblotting to nitrocellulose filters. Two of these lectins reacted with the antibody. Comparison of the amino acid sequences of the examined lectins and the predicted hydrophilic, flexible and accessible regions of Pisum sativum suggest that valine-147 is involved in antibody binding.[1]References
