摘要

Four hybridoma cell lines have been established that secrete monoclonal antibodies to nonapeptide bradykinin. Bradykinin coupled to ovalbumin, using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide as coupling agent, was used to immunize BALB/c mice. Spleen cells from the immunized animals were fused to P3-X63-AG8-653 mouse myeloma cells. The resultant hybrid cells were screened by enzyme-linked immunoassay for production of antibodies to bradykinin. Hybrids from four positive wells were subcloned by limiting dilution and expanded as ascites tumor into pristane-primed mice. All the four hybrids secreted monoclonal antibodies of IgG1 (k) isotype. Unlabeled peptides bradykinin, lysyl-bradykinin (kallidin) and methionyl-lysyl-bradykinin competed with the radiolabeled [Tyr1]kallidin for monoclonal antibody binding sites. These antibodies recognized preferentially either NH2- or COOH-terminals of the nonapeptide bradykinin and can distinguish between des-Arg1-bradykinin and des-Arg9-bradykinin. Bradykinin fragments smaller than eight residues were not recognized by these antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies BK-D6A5, BK-B6C9 and BK-A3D9 neutralized the smooth muscle contractile activity of bradykinin. An enzyme-linked immunoassay developed using these monoclonal antibodies showed the effective range of bradykinin determination between 5 and 150 ng.
