Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we generated two hybridomas using a hiPS cell line (Tic) as an antigen. These hybridomas produced antibodies that specifically bound to hiPS/ES cells but exhibited little or no binding to hEC cells. Interestingly, both of these antibodies were found to be carbohydrate–recognizing antibodies of the IgG1 subtype. 1st antibody R-10G recognizes a type of keratan sulfate lacking oversulfated structures expressed on podocalyxin molecules on hiPS/ES cells like anti-TRA-1-60 antibody. 2nd antibody R-17F recognized glycolipids like anti-SSEA-3 antibody, and exhibited a strong cytotoxic effect toward hiPS/ES cells.
