A set of four monoclonal antibodies was produced against a highly purified pepsin extract of type 5 streptococcal M protein. Three of the four antibodies cross-reacted with purified M proteins from heterologous serotypes and opsonized the respective heterologous organisms. Our studies suggest that monoclonal antibodies may be useful in identifying subpeptides of various M proteins containing common, protective epitopes that are capable of evoking antibodies that would protect against several different potentially "rheumatogenic" serotypes.
制备了一组针对5型链球菌M蛋白高度纯化胃蛋白酶提取物的四种单克隆抗体。四种抗体中的三种与来自异源血清型的纯化M蛋白发生交叉反应,并调理相应的异源生物体。我们的研究表明,单克隆抗体可能有助于鉴定各种M蛋白的亚肽,这些亚肽含有共同的保护性表位,能够诱发可抵御几种不同潜在“致风湿性”血清型的抗体。
