Jmp. Delalastra et al., 2 MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES FROM THE PLATELET PANEL RECOGNIZE SHEEP PLASMA-FIBRINOGEN, Veterinary immunology and immunopathology, 52(4), 1996, pp. 371-375
Among the monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) submitted to the third Workshop
, two mAbs, IVA120 (3W-323) and IVA198 (3W-290), could be identified t
o recognize the sheep fibrinogen molecule. The apparent molecular weig
ht of the immunoprecipitated 48-60kDa cell surface protein under reduc
ing conditions suggested this antigen could be the fibrinogen molecule
. ELISA and immunoblotting assays, performed with commercially availab
le sheep plasma fibrinogen, confirmed that these two mAbs recognize tw
o different epitopes present on the sheep fibrinogen molecule.
