Aim: To study expression and clinical significance of CD3, CD4 and COX-2 in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods: Expression of COX-2, CD3 and CD4 was detected by immunohistochemical staining in 37 cases of NSCLC. The correlation of CD3, CD4, COX-2 expressions and overall survival(OS) was evaluated with spearman rank correlation analysis.

Analysis of the mitochondrial proteome would provide valuable insight into the function of this important organelle, which plays key roles in energy metabolism, apoptosis, free radical production, thermogenesis, and calcium signaling. It could also increase our understanding about the mechanisms that promote mitochondrial disease. To identify proteins that are antigenically dominant in human liver mitochondria, we generated >240 hybridoma cell lines from native mitochondrial proteins after cell fusion, screening, and cloning.

Objective: To prepare monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against enoyl-CoA hydratase 1 (ECH1).

Methods: Normal human liver tissues were homogenized, and the mitochondria were isolated by differential centrifugation. The total mitochondrial proteins were used to immunize BALB/c mice to prepare mAbs by routine hybridoma technique.

Aim: To prepare and characterize the monoclonal antibody (mAb) against human carbamyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI) and make a study of its application.

Methods: Normal human liver tissues were homogenized, and their mitochondria were isolated by differential centrifugation. The total mitochondrial proteins were used to immunize BALB/c mice to prepare mAb using the routine hybridoma technique.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to create monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting the UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase 2 (UGP2) enzyme in humans using hybridoma techniques.
  • Human liver tissue was used to immunize mice, and the mAbs were identified through ELISA, Western blot, and immunohistochemistry methods, producing one specific mAb, BAD062.
  • The BAD062 mAb was shown to specifically bind to UGP2 in liver cells with a molecular weight of 56 kD, and it is confirmed as a valuable tool for further UGP2 research.
