Generation of Rat Monoclonal Antibody for Cytokeratin 18 by Immunization of Three-Dimensional-Cultured Cancer Cells.

In this study, we produced rat monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) through immunization of the lysate from 3D-cultured DLD-1 cells to elucidate a characteristic feature of a tumor, and our results showed that mAb 2H7 recognized human CK18. Furthermore, we indicated that mAb 2H7 was useful for immunoblotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence staining. Therefore, it may be useful as a diagnostic tool for evaluating malignancy.
