We have evaluated in C57/Bl6 and HLA-A2.1 transgenic mice the immunogenicity of three MVA vectors expressing either native HCV E1E2 polyprotein, truncated and secreted E1 (E'1(311)) and E2 (E'2(661)) proteins, or a chimeric E1E2 heterodimer presented at the plasma membrane. Immunization induced mainly a Th1 response in HLA-A2.1 transgenic mice while a Th2-type response was detected in C57/Bl6 mice. Comparison of the three vectors shows an increase in the humoral response when antigens are secreted or membrane bound, and slightly in the cellular response when antigens are exposed on the cell surface. | 15364440

Stable clones of 31 mouse hybridomas that produce monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against human IgG antigenic determinants were obtained. The number of hybridomas of different specificity described are: 2 anti-IgG1 Fc, 1 anti-IgG2 Fc, 1 anti-IgG2 Fd, 2 anti-IgG3 Fc, 2 anti-IgG3 hinge, 3 anti-IgG4 Fc, 3 anti-IgG4 Fd, 2 anti-nG4m(b), 4 anti-IgGFc, 2 anti-IgGFd, 1 anti-kappa, 1 anti-lambda, 1 anti-non IgG1, 2 anti-non IgG2, 2 anti-non-IgG3, 2 anti-non-IgG4. Evidence is presented validating their specificity. Some MAbs demonstrated to be avid, potent, and specific for well defined IgG-subclass epitopes may be partially or completely inactive in other assay systems, presumably because of different presentations of antigen epitopes. In general, this problem requires careful writing of protocols describing the use of MAbs. | 6209201
