ABSTRACT
Hybridomas obtained by the fusion of spleen cells from rat cytochrome b5-immunized mice with mouse myeloma cells produced five groups of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) with three mouse immunoglobulin subtypes IgG1, IgG2b and IgM. All of the MAbs bound strongly to rat cytochrome b5 as measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Four clones of MAbs were also strongly immunoreactive with cytochrome b5 when tested by Western blotting, but only one of the MAbs (1-39-2) weakly immunoprecipitated cytochrome b5 in an Ouchterlony double-immunodiffusion test. Two of the MAbs partially inhibited cytochrome b5-mediated NADH cytochrome c reduction catalyzed by liver microsomes (24-36%). Expression of immunodetectable cytochrome b5 was highest in the liver, next highest in the kidney, and quite low in the other tissues examined with MAb 1-17-1 by Western blotting. This MAb recognized homologous cytochrome b5 of human liver microsomes and in homogenates of TK- cells infected with recombinant vaccinia virus encoding human cytochrome b5. These MAbs to cytochrome b5 will be useful for the identification, quantification, and purification of cytochrome b5 from animal and human tissues, and for understanding its role in cytochrome P450 catalyzed drug metabolism and carcinogen activation with respect to tissue, organ and individual differences.
