Abstract

Seven rat monoclonal antibodies (MAb) for bovine myoglobin were produced. Five antibodies reacted with surface-absorbed myoglobin whereas the two remainders reacted only in a sandwich type ELISA. The ability of different antibodies to bind simultaneously to myoglobin was examined by competition and additivity experiments and three noncompeting epitope regions were found. A two-site enzyme immunoassay was developed and allowed quantification of 30 ng/ml bovine myoglobin. These antibodies should be valuable tools in comparative studies for immunological reactivity of mammalian myoglobins and for myoglobin measurement in serum and urine of myopathic animals.
