Clonal antibodies for core protein of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan.

Abstract
Antibodies were prepared to the core protein of cartilage chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan from clones isolated after fusion of rat spleen cells and mouse myeloma cell lines. Antibodies produced by 5 clones were studied in detail by a radioimmunoassay utilizing 35SO42--labeled hyaluronidase-digested chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. Preparations of antigen contained at least 2 antigenic determinants, 1 restricted to a portion of antigen in these preparations. One clone reacted with proteoglycan synthesized in a cell-free system. Such clonal antibodies can be used for structural and biosynthetic studies of core protein.
