| Abstract | Ten selected murine hybridoma cell lines that produce monoclonal antibodies against M type 5 Streptococcus pyogenes and human heart antigen were isolated. All of the monoclonal antibodies studied were determined to be the immunoglobulin M isotype. The antibodies were characterized on the basis of their reactions with Triton X-100-extracted whole human heart antigens, sodium dodecyl sulfate-extracted sarcolemmal antigens, and whole streptococci or their membranes. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and Western immunoblotting techniques were used to compare the reactivity of the monoclonal antibodies. All 10 of the antibodies were first selected for their reactivity with Triton X-100-extracted heart antigens and whole group A, M type 5 streptococci. These antibodies were then divided into two categories: strong reactors or weak reactors with human sarcolemmal and streptococcal membranes. Among the strong reactors, two different types of monoclonal antibodies were observed on the basis of their immunobanding patterns with sarcolemmal and streptococcal membranes on Western blots. Monoclonal antibodies that were strong reactors with sarcolemmal and group A streptococcal membrane antigen were directed against a determinant on a family of proteins. The major reactants of sarcolemmal extracts were high-molecular-weight proteins near 200,000. Some monoclonal antibodies demonstrated more specificity for the heart than did others when reacted with separated Triton X-100-extracted tissue antigens from the heart, kidney, and skeletal muscle. One of the monoclonal antibodies that reacted with group A streptococci reacted with a Triton X-100-extracted heart antigen ca. 40,000 daltons in size. None of these monoclonal antibodies opsonized type 5 Streptococcus pyogenes, and in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays most of the antibodies were found to react to a lesser degree with other groups of streptococci. Monoclonal antibody was used to probe normal and rheumatic sarcolemma for differences in reactivity. Although the rheumatic heart reacted more intensely, no major differences between the immunobanding patterns of normal and rheumatic hearts were observed. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
