To obtain monoclonal antibodies of the factor H binding protein (fHBP) A and B subfamily proteins in meningococcal group B, and establish an ELISA detection method which can provide a new way for quantitation and identification of fHBP antigen.
Mice were immunized with purified histidine-labeled recombinant fHBP (His), the spleen cells of mouse were fused with SP2/0 cells. 3 cell strains with stable secretion of anti-fHBP monoclonal antibodies were acquired, respectively named A, B and AB. To establish a double-antibody sandwich ELISA method for detecting recombinant fHBP antigen, AB was coated as primary antibodies, A and B were labeled by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) as the second antibody.
The GMTs valences of A, B and AB antibodies produced in mouse ascites were all between 4.4~8.8×105, and Western Blot showed that the 3 antibodies could specifically bind the corresponding recombinant fHBP antigens. The direct ELISA test also demonstrated that the 3 monoclonal antibodies merely reacted with proteins containing fHBP A or fHBP B through different recognition sites on antigens, independent of each other. The double-antibody sandwich ELISA method had good specificity and applicability, with sensitivity up to 10 ng·mL-1 and coefficient variation of less than 10%.
The double antibody sandwich ELISA method based on monoclonal antibody has good specificity and applicability, which laid a foundation to further establish a sensitive and rapid method for detection and identification of fHBP antigen.
