Abstract
CD39 is involved in adenosine metabolism by converting extracellular ATP to adenosine. As extracellular adenosine plays a critical role in the immune suppression of the tumor microenvironment, the inhibition of CD39 activity by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is one of the important strategies for tumor therapy. This study developed specific and sensitive mAbs for mouse CD39 (mCD39) using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening method. The established anti-mCD39 mAb, C39Mab-1 (rat IgG2a, kappa), reacted with mCD39-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO/mCD39) by flow cytometry. The kinetic analysis using flow cytometry indicated that the dissociation constant of C39Mab-1 for CHO/mCD39 was 7.3 × 10-9 M. Furthermore, C39Mab-1 detected the lysate of CHO/mCD39 by western blot analysis. These results indicated that C39Mab-1 is useful for the detection of mCD39 in many functional studies.

Abstract
By converting extracellular adenosine triphosphate to adenosine, CD39 is involved in adenosine metabolism. The extracellular adenosine plays a critical role in the immune suppression of the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, the inhibition of CD39 activity by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is thought to be one of the important strategies for tumor therapy. In this study, we developed novel mAbs for mouse CD39 (mCD39) using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. One of the established anti-mCD39 mAbs, C39Mab-2 (rat IgG2a, lambda), reacted with mCD39-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO/mCD39) and an endogenously mCD39-expressed cell line (SN36) by flow cytometry. The kinetic analysis using flow cytometry indicated that the dissociation constant (KD) values of C39Mab-2 for CHO/mCD39 and SN36 were 5.5 × 10-9 M and 4.9 × 10-9 M, respectively. These results indicated that C39Mab-2 is useful for the detection of mCD39 in flow cytometry.

Antibodies (Basel) 2023; 12:42. [PMID: 37489364 PMCID: PMC10366908 DOI: 10.3390/antib12030042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 07/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) overexpression or its mutation mediates the sustaining proliferative signaling, which is an important hallmark of cancer. Human EGFR-targeting monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy such as cetuximab has been approved for clinical use in patients with colorectal cancers and head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. A reliable preclinical mouse model is essential to further develop the mAb therapy against EGFR. Therefore, sensitive mAbs against mouse EGFR (mEGFR) should be established. In this study, we developed a specific and sensitive mAb for mEGFR using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. The established anti-mEGFR mAb, EMab-300 (rat IgG1, kappa), reacted with mEGFR-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO/mEGFR) and endogenously mEGFR-expressed cell lines, including NMuMG (a mouse mammary gland epithelial cell) and Lewis lung carcinoma cells, using flow cytometry. The kinetic analysis using flow cytometry indicated that the KD of EMab-300 for CHO/mEGFR and NMuMG was 4.3 × 10-8 M and 1.9 × 10-8 M, respectively. These results indicated that EMab-300 applies to the detection of mEGFR using flow cytometry and may be useful to obtain the proof of concept in preclinical studies.

Abstract
Golden (Syrian) hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) is a small animal model of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. Pathological analyses of the tissues are required to understand the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and the evaluation of therapeutic modalities, including neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). However, mAbs that recognize the golden hamster-derived antigens and distinguish specific cell types, such as the pneumocytes, are limited. Podoplanin (PDPN) is an essential marker of lung type I alveolar epithelial cells, kidney podocytes, and lymphatic endothelial cells. In this study, an anti-Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus) PDPN mAb PMab-281 (IgG3, kappa) was established using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. A defucosylated mouse IgG2a version of PMab-281 (281-mG2a-f) was also developed. The 281-mG2a-f strongly recognized both the Chinese hamster and the golden hamster PDPN using flow cytometry and could detect lung type I alveolar epithelial cells, lymphatic endothelial cells, and Bowman's capsules in the kidney from the golden hamster using immunohistochemistry. These results suggest the usefulness of 281-mG2a-f for analyzing the golden hamster-derived tissues and cells for SARS-CoV-2 research.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN) is a marker of lung type I alveolar cells, kidney podocytes, and lymphatic endothelial cells. The overexpression of PDPN contributes to the malignant progression of tumors. Therefore, the development of anti-PDPN monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to animals is essential to evaluate the pathogenesis and cellular functions. Using peptide immunization, we previously developed an anti-elephant PDPN (elePDPN) mAb, PMab-295, which is useful for flow cytometry, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. In this study, we determined the critical epitope of PMab-295 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We performed ELISA with the alanine-substituted peptides of elePDPN extracellular domain (amino acids 38-51), and found that PMab-295 did not recognize the alanine-substituted peptides of M41A, P44A, and E47A. Furthermore, these peptides could not inhibit the recognition of PMab-295 to elePDPN-expressing cells by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. The results indicate that the binding epitope of PMab-295 includes Met41, Pro44, and Glu47 of elePDPN.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN) is an essential marker of lung type I alveolar cells, kidney podocytes, and lymphatic endothelial cells. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that can specifically recognize PDPN in immunohistochemistry are important to analyze the development of tissues and the pathogenesis of diseases, including cancers. We have developed anti-PDPN mAbs against many animal species; however, mAbs that can recognize elephant-derived membrane proteins and distinguish the specific cell types in immunohistochemistry are limited. In this study, a novel anti-elephant PDPN (elePDPN) mAb, PMab-295 (IgG1, kappa), was established using the peptide immunization method. PMab-295 recognized both elePDPN-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells and endogenous elePDPN-expressed LACF-NaNaI cells by flow cytometry and western blotting. Kinetic analyses using flow cytometry showed that the KD of PMab-295 for CHO/elePDPN was 1.5 × 10-8 M. Furthermore, PMab-295 detected elePDPN-expressing cells using immunohistochemistry. These results showed the usefulness of PMab-295 to investigate the molecular function of elePDPN and the pathogenesis of diseases.

Abstract
Chinese hamster (Cricetulus griseus) and golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) are important animal models of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections, which affect several organs, including respiratory tract, lung, and kidney. Podoplanin (PDPN) is a marker of lung type I alveolar cells, kidney podocytes, and lymphatic endothelial cells. The development of anti-PDPN monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for these animals is essential to evaluate the pathogenesis by SARS-CoV-2 infections. Using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening method, we previously developed an anti-Chinese hamster PDPN (ChamPDPN) mAb, PMab-281 (mouse IgG3, kappa), and further changed its subclass into IgG2a (281-mG2a-f), both of which can recognize not only ChamPDPN but also golden hamster PDPN (GhamPDPN) by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. In this study, we examined the critical epitope of 281-mG2a-f, using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with synthesized peptides. First, we performed ELISA with peptides derived from ChamPDPN and GhamPDPN extracellular domain, and found that 281-mG2a-f reacted with the peptides, which commonly possess the KIPFEELxT sequence. Next, we analyzed the reaction with the alanine-substituted mutants, and revealed that 281-mG2a-f did not recognize the alanine-substituted peptides of I75A, F77A, and E79A of ChamPDPN. Furthermore, these peptides could not inhibit the recognition of 281-mG2a-f to ChamPDPN-expressing cells by flow cytometry. The results indicate that the binding epitope of 281-mG2a-f includes Ile75, Phe77, and Glu79 of ChamPDPN, which are shared with GhamPDPN.

Abstract
The CXC chemokine receptor 6 (CXCR6) is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family that is highly expressed in helper T type 1 cells, natural killer cells, cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and various type of cells in tumor microenvironment (TME). CXCR6 has been proposed as a therapeutic target against tumors through regulation of the tumor TME. In this study, we developed specific and sensitive monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for mouse CXCR6 (mCXCR6), which are useful for flow cytometry and Western blotting by N-terminal peptide immunization into rat. The established anti-mCXCR6 mAb, Cx6Mab-1 (rat IgG1, kappa), reacted with not only mCXCR6-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO/mCXCR6) but also mCXCR6-endogenously expressed cell lines, such as P388 (mouse lymphoid neoplasm) and J774-1 (mouse macrophage-like) through flow cytometry. Kinetic analyses using flow cytometry indicated that the dissociation constants (KD) of Cx6Mab-1 for CHO/mCXCR6, P388, and J774-1 cells were 1.7 × 10-9 M, 3.4 × 10-7 M, and 3.8 × 10-7 M, respectively. Furthermore, Cx6Mab-1 could detect endogenous mCXCR6 in P388 and J774-1 cells by Western blotting. These results indicated that Cx6Mab-1 is useful for detecting mCXCR6 by flow cytometry and Western blotting, and provides a possibility for targeting CXCR6-expressing cells in vivo experiments.

Abstract
CD44 is a cell surface glycoprotein, which is expressed on normal cells, and overexpressed on cancer cells. CD44 is involved in cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, survival, stemness, and chemo-resistance. Therefore, CD44 is thought to be a promising target for cancer diagnosis and therapy. In this study, we established anti-CD44 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) by immunizing mice with a CD44 variant (CD44v3-10) ectodomain and screening using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We then characterized them using flow cytometry, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. One of the established clones (C44Mab-46; IgG1, kappa) reacted with CD44 standard isoform (CD44s)-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 cells (CHO/CD44s) or esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) cell lines (KYSE70 and KYSE770). The apparent KD of C44Mab-46 for CHO/CD44s, KYSE70, and KYSE770 was 1.1 × 10-8 M, 4.9 × 10-8 M, and 4.1 × 10-8 M, respectively. C44Mab-46 detected CD44s of CHO/CD44s and KYSE70, and CD44 variants of KYSE770 in Western blot analysis. Furthermore, C44Mab-46 strongly stained the formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded ESCC tissues in immunohistochemistry. Collectively, C44Mab-46 is very useful for detecting CD44 in various applications.

Abstract
Ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) have been used as small animal models to investigate severe acute respiratory syndrome coronaviruses (SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2) infections. Pathological analyses of these tissue samples, including those of the lung, are, therefore, essential to understand the pathogenesis of SARS-CoVs and evaluate the action of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against this disease. However, mAbs that recognize ferret-derived proteins and distinguish between specific cell types, such as lung epithelial cells, are limited. Podoplanin (PDPN) has been identified as an essential marker in lung type I alveolar epithelial cells, kidney podocytes, and lymphatic endothelial cells. In this study, an anti-ferret PDPN (ferPDPN) mAb PMab-292 (mouse IgG1, kappa) was established using the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. PMab-292 recognized ferPDPN-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary-K1 (CHO/ferPDPN) cells by flow cytometry and Western blotting. The kinetic analysis using flow cytometry showed that the KD of PMab-292 for CHO/ferPDPN was 3.4 × 10-8 M. Furthermore, PMab-292 detected lung type I alveolar epithelial cells, lymphatic endothelial cells, and glomerular/Bowman's capsule in the kidney using immunohistochemistry. Hence, these results propose the usefulness of PMab-292 in analyzing ferret-derived tissues for SARS-CoV-2 research.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that specifically target podoplanin (PDPN), a marker for type I alveolar cells, are required for immunohistochemical analyses. Anti-PDPN mAbs are available for many species, including human, mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, cat, bovine, pig, Tasmanian devil, alpaca, tiger, whale, goat, horse, bear, sheep, and California sea lion PDPNs. However, no anti-Steller sea lion PDPN (stePDPN) antibody has been developed. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that an anti-California sea lion PDPN mAb (PMab-269) reacted with type I alveolar cells from the Steller sea lion lung, renal glomeruli and Bowman's capsules from kidney, and lymphatic endothelial cells from the colon, indicating that PMab-269 is useful for detecting stePDPN.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN) is a cell-surface mucin-like glycoprotein that plays a critical role in tumor development and normal development of the lung, kidney, and lymphatic vascular systems. PDPN is overexpressed in several tumors and is involved in their malignancy. PDPN induces platelet aggregation through binding to platelet receptor C-type lectin-like receptor 2. Furthermore, PDPN modulates signal transductions that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, invasion, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, and stemness, all of which are crucial for the malignant progression of tumor. In the tumor microenvironment (TME), PDPN expression is upregulated in the tumor stroma, including cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and immune cells. CAFs play significant roles in the extracellular matrix remodeling and the development of immunosuppressive TME. Additionally, PDPN functions as a co-inhibitory molecule on T cells, indicating its involvement with immune evasion. In this review, we describe the mechanistic basis and diverse roles of PDPN in the malignant progression of tumors and discuss the possibility of the clinical application of PDPN-targeted cancer therapy, including cancer-specific monoclonal antibodies, and chimeric antigen receptor T technologies.

Abstract
CD44 functions as a major hyaluronan receptor on most cell types, with roles in cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, differentiation, and survival. The CD44 gene comprises 20 exons, with alternative splicing producing many different isoforms. CD44 variant isoforms exhibit tissue-specific expression patterns and have been studied as therapeutic targets for several cancers; therefore, anti-CD44 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are useful for investigating CD44 expression in various cancers. Previously, we established an anti-CD44 mAb, C44Mab-46 (IgG1, κ), by immunizing mice with the CD44v3-10 ectodomain. Although C44Mab-46 recognized all CD44 isoforms, the binding epitope of C44Mab-46 has not been determined. In this study, we first checked the reactivity of C44Mab-46 to several CD44v3-10 deletion mutants such as dN79, dN124, dN147, and dN224. We found the N-terminus of the C44Mab-46-binding epitope between residues 147 and 224 of CD44v3-10. We next investigated this epitope using a novel mapping system: RIEDL insertion for epitope mapping (REMAP) method. We constructed 31 CD44 standard (CD44s) mutants where the RIEDL tag was inserted into the expected epitope region in CD44s. We observed that the C44Mab-46 epitope constituted five amino acids: 174-TDDDV-178 of CD44s. Thus, the REMAP method could be used to determine mAb binding epitopes for membrane proteins.

Abstract
The development of protein-specific antibodies is essential for understanding a wide variety of biological phenomena. Parasitic and viral infections and cancers are known to occur within California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) populations. However, sensitive and specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for the pathophysiological analysis of California sea lion tissues have not yet been developed. A type I transmembrane glycoprotein, podoplanin (PDPN), is a known diagnostic marker of lymphatic endothelial cells. We have previously developed several anti-PDPN mAbs in various mammalian species, with applications in flow cytometry, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. In this study, we established a novel mAb against California sea lion PDPN (seaPDPN), clone PMab-269 (mouse IgG1, kappa), using a Cell-Based Immunization and Screening method. PMab-269 is specifically detected in seaPDPN-overexpressed Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells using flow cytometry and Western blotting. Moreover, PMab-269 clearly identified pulmonary type I alveolar cells, renal podocytes, and colon lymphatic endothelial cells in California sea lion tissues using immunohistochemistry. These findings demonstrate the usefulness of PMab-269 for the pathophysiological analysis of lung, kidney, and lymphatic tissues of the California sea lion.

Abstract
Anti-podoplanin (PDPN) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are needed as markers for lymphatic endothelial cells or type I alveolar cells in immunohistochemical analyses. We have developed anti-PDPN mAbs for many species, including humans, mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, cats, bovines, pigs, Tasmanian devils, alpacas, tigers, whales, goats, horses, and bears. This study develops and characterizes anti-sheep PDPN (sPDPN) mAbs using Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method. A RAP14 tag was added to the N-terminus of sPDPN, and an anti-RAP14 tag mAb (PMab-2) was used to measure the expression level of sPDPN in flow cytometry and Western blots. We immunized mice with sPDPN-overexpressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 (CHO/sPDPN) cells and screened mAbs against sPDPN using flow cytometry. Two of the mAbs, PMab-253 (immunoglobulin M [IgM], kappa) and PMab-260 (IgM, kappa), detected CHO/sPDPN cells specifically using flow cytometry and Western blots. Both PMab-253 and PMab-260 stained the renal glomerulus and Bowman's capsule, lymphatic endothelial cells of the lung and colon, and type I alveolar cells of the lung, suggesting PMab-253 and PMab-260, which were developed by CBIS method, can be applied to functional analyses of sPDPN. We also determined the binding epitope of PMab-253 and PMab-260 using flow cytometry. Analysis of sPDPN deletion mutants revealed that the N-terminus of the PMab-253 and PMab-260 epitope exists between amino acids 110 and 115 of sPDPN. Analysis of sPDPN point mutations revealed that the critical epitope of PMab-253 and PMab-260 includes Thr112 and Ser113 of sPDPN, indicating that the PMab-253 and PMab-260 epitope are independent of the platelet aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domain or the PLAG-like domain of sPDPN.

Abstract
An antisheep podoplanin (sPDPN) monoclonal antibody (mAb), PMab-256, has recently been established. PMab-256 shows positive immunostaining for lymphatic endothelial cells, lung type I alveolar cells, and kidney podocytes. PDPN possesses three platelet-aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domains, PLAG1, PLAG2, and PLAG3, and a PLAG-like domain (PLD). The binding epitope of many anti-PDPN mAbs is located in PLAG domains or PLD. The purpose of this study is to determine the binding epitope of PMab-256. Analysis of sPDPN deletion mutants revealed that the N-terminus of the PMab-256 epitope exists between amino acids 75 and 80 of sPDPN. Furthermore, analysis of sPDPN point mutations demonstrated that the critical epitope includes Thr80 of sPDPN, indicating that the PMab-256 epitope is in the PLD of sPDPN.

Abstract
Anti-bear podoplanin (bPDPN) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), including PMab-247 and PMab-241, have been previously established. Although PMab-247 has shown positive immunostaining for lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs), type I alveolar cells of the lung, and podocytes of the kidney, PMab-241 stains LECs but does not react with lung type I alveolar cells. PDPN possesses three platelet aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domains (PLAG1, PLAG2, and PLAG3) and the PLAG-like domain (PLD). The binding epitope of PMab-247 was previously determined to include bPDPN residues Asp76, Arg78, Glu80, and Arg82. Among these, Glu80 and Arg82 are included in PLD of bPDPN. The purpose of this study is to determine the binding epitope of PMab-241 and to clarify the difference between these two anti-bPDPN mAbs. Analysis of bPDPN deletion mutants revealed that the N-terminus of the PMab-241 epitope exists between amino acids (aa) 75 and 80 of bPDPN. In addition, analysis of bPDPN point mutants demonstrated that the critical epitope of PMab-241 includes Thr75, Asp76, and Arg78 of bPDPN. The binding epitopes of PMab-241 and PMab-247 seem to overlap, but this slight difference may be sufficient to provide the specificity of PMab-241 to discriminate LECs from type I alveolar cells of the lung.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN), also known as T1alpha, has been used as a lung type I alveolar cell marker in the pathophysiological condition. Although we have established several monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against mammalian PDPNs, mAbs against tiger PDPN (tigPDPN), which are useful for immunohistochemical analysis, remain to be developed. In this study, we immunized mice with tigPDPN-overexpressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells (CHO/tigPDPN) and screened hybridomas producing mAbs against tigPDPN using flow cytometry. One of the mAbs, PMab-231 (IgG2a, kappa), specifically detected CHO/tigPDPN cells using flow cytometry as well as recognized tigPDPN protein using western blotting. In addition, PMab-231 was found to cross-react with cat PDPN (cPDPN). The dissociation constants (KD) of PMab-231 for CHO/tigPDPN and CHO/cPDPN cells were determined to be 1.2 × 10-8 and 1.9 × 10-8, respectively, indicating moderate affinity for CHO/tigPDPN and CHO/cPDPN cells. PMab-231 stained type I alveolar cells of the feline lungs and podocytes of the feline kidneys using immunohistochemistry. Our findings suggest the potential usefulness of PMab-231 for the functional analyses of tigPDPN and cPDPN.

Heliyon 2019; 5:e02063. [PMID: 31338471 PMCID: PMC6626078 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2019.e02063] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2019] [Revised: 05/10/2019] [Accepted: 07/05/2019] [Indexed: 02/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Sensitive and specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against not only human but also mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, cat, bovine, pig, and horse podoplanins (PDPNs) have been established in our previous studies. However, anti-goat PDPN (gPDPN) has not been established yet. PDPN has been utilized as a lymphatic endothelial cell marker especially in pathological diagnoses; therefore, mAbs for immunohistochemical analyses using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues are needed. Although we recently demonstrated that an anti-bovine PDPN mAb, PMab-44 cross-reacted with gPDPN, PMab-44 did not detect lymphatic endothelial cells in immunohistochemistry. In this study, we immunized mice with gPDPN-overexpressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)–K1 (CHO/gPDPN) cells, and screened mAbs against gPDPN using flow cytometry. One of the mAbs, PMab-235 (IgG1, kappa), specifically detected CHO/gPDPN cells by flow cytometry. Furthermore, PMab-235 strongly detected lung type I alveolar cells, renal podocytes, and lymphatic endothelial cells of colon by immunohistochemistry. These findings suggest that PMab-235 may be useful as a lymphatic endothelial cell marker for goat tissues.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN) has been utilized as a lymphatic endothelial cell marker especially in pathological diagnoses. Therefore, sensitive and specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) targeting PDPN are needed for immunohistochemical analyses using formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues. Recently, anti-PDPN mAbs against many species, such as human, mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, cat, bovine, pig, and horse were established in our studies. However, anticetacean (whale) PDPN (wPDPN) has not been established yet. In this study, we immunized mice with wPDPN-overexpressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 (CHO/wPDPN) cells, and screened mAbs against wPDPN using flow cytometry. One of the mAbs, PMab-237 (IgG1, kappa), specifically detected CHO/wPDPN cells by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. Our findings suggest the potential usefulness of PMab-237 for the functional analyses of wPDPN.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN) is expressed in lymphatic endothelial cells, where it induces platelet aggregation through C-type lectin-like receptor-2 (CLEC-2). This protein has been characterized for a number of animal species using specific anti-PDPN monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). We recently established the mAb against horse PDPN (horPDPN) named PMab-219. Therefore, in this study, we investigated whether PMab-219 can detect lymphatic endothelial cells in horse tissues. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that PMab-219 strongly stained lymphatic endothelial cells in horse colon tissues, indicating that it will be useful for investigating the function of horPDPN in these cells.

Abstract
Podoplanin (PDPN) is known as a lymphatic endothelial cell marker. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against human, mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, cat, bovine, pig, and horse PDPN have been established in our previous studies. However, mAbs against alpaca PDPN (aPDPN), required for immunohistochemical analysis, remain to be developed. In the present study, we employed the Cell-Based Immunization and Screening (CBIS) method for producing anti-aPDPN mAbs. We immunized mice with aPDPN-overexpressing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-K1 cells (CHO/aPDPN), and hybridomas producing mAbs against aPDPN were screened using flow cytometry. One of the mAbs, PMab-225 (IgG2b, kappa), specifically detected CHO/aPDPN cells via flow cytometry and recognized the aPDPN protein on Western blotting. Further, PMab-225 strongly stained lung type I alveolar cells, colon lymphatic endothelial cells, and kidney podocytes via immunohistochemistry. These findings demonstrate that PMab-225 antibody is useful to investigate the function of aPDPN via different techniques. PDPN is known as a specific lymphatic endothelial cell (LEC) marker. Sensitive and specific PMab-225 mAb against alpaca PDPN was produced. PMab-225 strongly reacted with alpaca PDPN in flow cytometry. PMab-225 is useful for IHC using paraffin-embedded cell sections.
