Research Abstract |
To prevent and treat Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, we generated a novel monoclonal antibody against human occludin. 15 clones of the purified antibodies showed no toxicity in the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Huh7.5.1. These antibodies did not inhibit HCV infection in Huh7.5.1 monolayer culture. However, when the fluorescent labeling antibody was applied to the lower chamber, the signal was detected along cell borders of Huh7.5.1 cells cultured in the upper chamber, suggesting that the novel antibody binds to occludin in living cells.
