Monoclonal antibody, its immunoreactive fragment and hybridoma
View Patent ↗It is an object to utilize a novel HSCA-3 antigen occurring in immature hemopoietic stem cells and a monoclonal antibody recognizing said antigen in 1) the immunoassay or flow cytometry involving antibody labeling and 2) the isolation and purification of immature hemopoietic stem cells from human bone marrow cells, umbilical code blood or blood enriched in human hemopoietic stem cells by mobilization with G-CSF. It is directed to a novel HSCA-3 antigen occurring in immature hemopoietic stem cells and to a monoclonal antibody or an immunoreactive fragment thereof which recognizes said antigen.
1. A monoclonal antibody which recognizes human immature hemopoietic stem cells but does not recognize CD34 + Jurkat cells, and
which binds to the same antigen as does the monoclonal antibody produced by a hybridoma having an accession number of FERM BP-8045.
2. A solid support comprising the antibody according to claim 1 as immobilized thereon.
3. An immunoreactive fragment of the antibody according to claim 1 .
4. The immunoreactive fragment according to claim 3 , which is fluorescent-labeled, radioisotope-labeled, or enzyme-labeled.
5. A solid support comprising the immunoreactive fragment according to claim 3 as immobilized thereon.
6. A hybridoma which has an accession number of FERM BP-8045.
7. The hybridoma according to claim 6 ,
which is acquired by the fusion of antibody-producing cells of a mammal immunized with KG-1 cells,
which are human myeloblastoid cells derived from an acute myeloid leukemia patient, to myeloma cells.
8. The monoclonal antibody according to claim 1 , as produced by a hybridoma having an accession number of FERM BP-8045.
9. The antibody according to claim 1 , which is fluorescent-labeled, radioisotope-labeled, or enzyme-labeled.
10. The antibody according to claim 8 , which is fluorescent-labeled, radioisotope-labeled, or enzyme-labeled.
