Resumo

Two monoclonal antibodies monospecific for bovine %lcasein, which recognize three genetic variants of ql-casein, have been isolated and their binding properties characterized.Antibodies 57-115 and 57-310 recognize different antigenic determinants on the o&l protein with affinity constants of 1.63 x 10" and 2.13 x 10" W1, respectively.Five monoclonal antibodies, 58-409, monospecific for bovine p-casein with affinity constants >lo9 M-l, which recognize a similar epitope(s) also were isolated.All seven antibodies are of isotype IgGl and recognize both the denatured and undenatured forms of their antigen, making them suitable for qualitative and quantitative radioimmunoassay.
