Methods: BALB/c mice were immunized with extract of human pituitaries. The spleen cells of one immunized mouse were fused with mouse myeloma cells in polyethylene glycol and the positive clones were subcloned 3 times. Results: Two hybridoma cell lines which secrete anti-thyrotropin monoclonal antibodies with high affinity and specificity have been collected. The antibodies were of the IgG1 subclass and their maximum binding with thyrotropin was 60% and 45. 1% respectively. Using competitive binding assay,the antibodies were found to direct against different epitopes of human thyrotropin. Conclusion: The extract of human pituitaries could be used to produce monoclonal anti-pituitary hormone antibodies. The two anti-thyrotropin monoclonal antibodies produced in this study could be used in the establishment of a sensitive measurement of human thyrotropin.展开更多
