Immunocytochemical localization of the subunits of glycoprotein hormones (LH, FSH, and TSH) in the bullfrog pituitary gland using monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antiserum.

Using beta and alpha subunits of bullfrog follitropin (FSH) III (pI 6.2), which were highly purified by HPLC, we generated three monoclonal antibodies (MCAs) to FSH beta subunit (FSH beta) and six to FSH alpha subunit (FSH alpha). They were produced by hybridomas derived from the myeloma X63.Ag8.653 and spleen lymphocytes from mice immunized with each subunit. Non-competitive binding tests revealed that one of the MCAs against FSH beta (BF3B25) bound strongly to intact FSH and its beta subunit, but not FSH alpha, lutropin (LH), LH alpha, and LH beta. The immunoblotting results also showed a similar immunological specificity for BF3B25. Cross-reactivity of bullfrog FSH against BF3B25 was 19.4%, when compared with FSH beta in the competitive inhibition assay system. On the other hand, noncompetitive binding tests and immunoblotting results showed that one of the MCAs against FSH alpha (BF3A20) bound strongly to intact LH and FSH and their alpha subunits, but not their beta subunits. The inhibition curves obtained using the alpha subunits of LH and FSH were similar. In the sexually mature bullfrog pituitary, immunoreactive FSH cells stained with MCA BF3B25 were distributed throughout the pars distalis, except for the rostral region, and were polygonal in shape, with well-developed cytoplasm. With respect to distribution and histological characteristics, the immunoreactive LH cells were very similar to the immunoreactive FSH cells when consecutive sections were stained with LH beta-specific MCA (BL4B11). However, immunoreactive TSH cells, revealed by anti-human TSH beta serum, formed clusters in the ventrocentral region of the pars distalis. In young adult pituitary, almost all of the gonadotrophs showed the coexistence of FSH and LH, but some gonadotrophs contained only FSH. The number of immunoreactive alpha-subunit cells stained by BF3A20 was always higher than the sum of the numbers of cells stained by the three beta-subunit-specific antibodies.

An improved immunogen for anti-human chorionic gonadotropin vaccine eliciting antibodies reactive with a conformation native to the hormone without cross-reaction with human follicle stimulating hormone and human thyroid stimulating hormone.

Beta-subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was associated with alpha-subunit of ovine luteinizing hormone (OLH) to create a heterospecies dimer (HSD) which has a higher steroidogenic potency than the homologous dimer of alpha hCG and beta hCG in the mouse Leydig cell bioassay. The properties and merits of the antibodies induced by this HSD and beta hCG linked to carrier(s) were investigated in rodents and in a subhuman primate species. The antisera had, in both cases, high affinity for binding with hCG (K alpha = 10(9)-10(10) M-1). The mean (+/- S.E.M.) bioneutralization capacity as a percentage of immunoreactivity (determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA)) of the antibodies generated by the HSD-carrier in rats and bonnet monkeys was higher in comparison with those induced by beta hCG linked to carrier (80 +/- 2.3% vs. 63 +/- 1.5% in rats, and 65 +/- 1.9% for HSD vs. 44 +/- 3.7% in monkeys). None of the sera gave any evidence of cross-reactivity with human follicle stimulating hormone (hFSH) and human thyroid stimulating hormone (hTSH).

Production and characterization of a monoclonal antibody against the beta-subunit of bullfrog lutropin.

We generated a high-affinity and highly specific monoclonal antibody (BL4B11)-producing hybridoma against bullfrog lutropin (LH) beta by fusing mouse myeloma, X63.Ag8.653, with spleen lymphocytes obtained from BALB/c mice immunized with bullfrog LH-IV (pI 9.3) beta-subunit. The resultant antibody-secreting hybridoma was injected into intraperitoneally pristane-primed BALB/c mice to obtain a large amount of antibody. Noncompetitive binding tests revealed that the ascitic fluid (BL4B11) could be diluted up to 1:12,000 for 50% binding to 125I-labeled bullfrog LH beta and also bound strongly to bullfrog intact LH, but not to LH alpha, follitropin (FSH), FSH alpha, FSH beta, and rat glycoprotein hormones (LH, FSH, and thyrotropin (TSH) significantly. The immunoblotting results also showed a similar immunological specificity of BL4B11. Cross-reactivities of bullfrog LH, FSH beta, FSH, LH alpha, and FSH alpha against BL4B11 were 9.69, 3.76, 2.40, 1, and 1%, respectively, when compared with bullfrog LH beta in the competitive inhibition assay system. The affinity constant (Ka) of the BL4B11 was 1.09 X 10(9) M-1. In the sexually mature bullfrog pituitary, immunoreactive LH cells which were revealed by this BL4B11 were distributed throughout the pars distalis except the rostral region. They were especially large, numerous, and polygonal, with well-developed cytoplasm. In the rostral region, immunoreactive LH cells were larger and more intense than those in the central region. In the case of young bullfrog, several immunoreactive LH cells were found only in the dorsocaudal region of the pars distalis. The distribution and histological characteristics of immunoreactive LH cells were different from those of immunoreactive TSH cells revealed by anti-human TSH beta serum.
