Objective:To develop monoclonal antibodies(mAb)against human neuropilin 1(HuNRP1)and provide useful materials to inhibit tumor angiogenesis by targeting HuNRP1. Methods:Using lymphocyte hybridoma technique,8-week-old BALB/c mice were immunized with recombinant protein,b domain of human neuropilin 1(TF-HuNRP1b)derived from E. Coli,then splenocytes of the immunized mice were prepared and collected,with the addition of sp2/0 myeloma cells,all the mixed cells were fused. Positive hybridoma cells were screened by indirect immunofluorescent assay(IFA)established with native HuNRP1 expressed by breast tumor cell line MDA-MB-231. The specificity of mAb was identified by IFA,Western blot and flow cytometry(FCM). The inhibitory ability of mAbs against tumor angiogenesis was identified by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)and chamber migration test. Results:One hybridoma cell line producing mAb against TF-HuNRP1b were obtained and named as 4F11. Western blot analysis showed that mAbs could recognize only recombinant HuNRP1b not the other proteins produced in BL21(DE3)(pCold-HuNRP1b)and BL21(DE3)(pCold). The results of IFA and FCM showed that mAb could recognize native HuNRP1 expressed on human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC),tumor cell line MDA-MB-231 and HepG2. The results of MTT assay and chamber migration test further showed that mAb 4F11 had strong inhibitory effect on migration and proliferation of HUVEC. Conclusion:mAb against HuNRP1b was successfully obtained which will be useful in the functional study of HuNRP1 and provide good materials for the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis.
