Generation and Application of Monoclonal Antibodies against Porcine S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12 Proteins Using Hybridoma Technology.

S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12 proteins are important members of the S100 protein family, act primarily as congenital immunomodulators, and are closely related to the occurrence of infectious diseases. There have been few reports on the functional properties of S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12 proteins in swine, but it is certain that porcine S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12 proteins are highly expressed in diseased swine. To address the current lack of reliable and timely detection tools for these three proteins, we generated monoclonal antibodies specific to the porcine S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12 proteins using hybridoma technology. The results of serum sample testing showed that the above monoclonal antibodies specifically recognize the proteins S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12 in the serum and were able to evaluate the content change of these proteins during the infection process. This provides the basis for the use of porcine S100A8, S100A9, and S100A12 in the surveillance and diagnosis of swine diseases and laid a foundation for further understanding their roles in infection, immunity, and inflammation, as well as their potential applications in preventing or treating gastrointestinal tract or inflammatory diseases in swine.
