Docket #: S97-152

Mouse Ab against the C terminal Fragment of Fly Patched

Hybridoma cells for the production of monoclonal antibodies against C-terminal fragment of fly patched were made by fusion of spleen cells from an immune mouse and sp2/0 myeloma cells. Positive clones were detected by Western blotting and immunocytochemical staining of Schneider cells. After limited dilution subcloning several positive subclones were obtained.

Applications

  • Western Blots
  • Immunocytochemistry

Advantages

  • Hedgehog proteins are key signals involved in development and cancer.
  • The antibodies detect expression of patched, which is an indicator of reception of Hedgehog signals.
