Abstract

A hybridoma cell line secreting a monoclonal antibody against catalytic subunits of acetylcholinesterase in the electric organ of Narke japonica has been obtained by using a mouse immunized with the nerve terminal membranes prepared from the electric organ of Narke japonica. This monoclonal antibody (Nj-501) reacted with asymmetric, low salt-soluble and detergent-soluble forms of acetylcholinesterase of the electric organ of Narke japonica. Immunoblot analysis showed that the catalytic subunits of the asymmetric, low salt-soluble and detergent-soluble forms of acetylcholinesterase were polypeptides of molecular weight (M 1) 70K, 70K + 66K and 66K, respectively. Nj-501 markedly inhibited the activity of all these forms of acetylcholinesterase.
