20F3 (a-GDGF2)
ANTIGEN USED FOR IMMUNIZATION
Partially purified glioma-derived growth factor-2 (GDGF2)from human malignant glioma cell line D-54MG. GDGF2 ismitogenic for BALB 3T3.A31 cells; high molecular weight(>I58 kD) gel-filtration fractions of preparative isoelectricfocused culture supernates. (pi = 6.5)
METHOD OF IMMUNIZATION
Intramuscular (both thighs) injection of GDGF-2 emulsified inRibi's MPL/TDM preparation; intraperitoneal injection ofGDGF-2 in saline at 3-week intervals x3. Mice killed 4 daysafter last injection.
PARENTAL CELL LINE USED FOR FUSION
P3x63Ag8.653
SELECTION AND CLONING PROCEDURE
Littlefield's HAT formulation; hybrids seeded in 20 96-wellplates; colony supernates selected by screening for mouse Ig.Selected supernates screened by ELISA against immunogenseparated by IEF or gel filtration and screened by ability to bind35S-labeled glioma cell proteins.
SPECIFICITY
Binds to GDGF-2 but does not neutralize mitogenic activitydirectly. Can be used to immunoprecipitate GDGF-2 or to purifyGDGF-2 by immuno affinity chromatography. Works poorly inWestern blots of SDS-PAGE separated GDGF-2.
SPECIFIC ANTIGEN IDENTIFIED
GDGF-2 a high-molecular-weight (170 kD) mitogenic activityfor BALB 3T3 cells; produced by human glioma cells.
