Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The sense of tastes by human and other animals depends on the recognition of tastant molecules by taste receptor proteins. In this project, we generated and characterized monoclonal antibodies against the extracellular regions of taste receptors. We have established the method to prepare the high-quality Fab fragments from IgGs and analyzed their interaction with recombinant proteins of the extracellular regions of taste receptors by using biochemical/biophysical techniques. We confirmed that the Fab fragments prepared here had the ability to bind the extracellular regions of taste receptors with high affinity.
