Preparation and Identification of Monoclonal Antibody Against C1q/TNF-Related Protein 4.

This study was designed to generate CTRP4 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Splenocytes extracted from mice immunized with prokaryotic protein were fused with myeloma cells Sp2/0 to generate hybridoma cells. Three hybridoma strains (16, 33, and 35) were chosen and their MAbs were purified. The specificity and affinity were identified by Western blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, whereas CTRP4 endogenous expression was identified by immunofluorescence staining. These MAbs could be useful tools for basic research and potential clinical application. PMID: 28029330 [PubMed - in process]
