Abstract

Flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) Immunoglobulins (Igs) were purified from the serum of mouse IgG-immunized flounder by using affinity chromatography. Under denaturing conditions in SDS-PAGE, the flounder Igs appeared to be composed of 2 heavy (H) chains (72 and 77 kDa) and two light (L) chains (26 and 28 kDa). Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced by the fusion of myeloma cells (SP2/0) with Balb/c mouse spleen cells that were previously sensitized against affinity-purified flounder Igs. In a Western blot analysis, the produced MAbs, FIM511, FIM519, and FIM562 recognized both the 72 and 77 kDa H chains, 26 kDa, and 28 kDa L chain, respectively. Mouse antiserum against flounder Igs reacted more strongly with the L chain of 28 kDa than with 26 kDa, suggesting that the 28 kDa molecule is more immunogenic than the 26 kDa L chain molecule. In a FACS analysis, the ratios of the Ig+ cell population in the flounder head kidney and spleen cells were 49% and 24%, respectively. Unexpectedly, however, the ratios of the Ig+ B-like cell population in the flounder were not significantly augmented, even after the immunization of an immunogenic antigen. This suggests that the humoral immune response in fish could be considerably different from that in mammals. The produced MAbs in this study would be useful in characterizing flounder Ig+ B-like cells and in developing flounder Ig detecting an immunoassay system.
