Production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies raised against the membrane ecdysone receptor from the anterior silk gland of the silkworm, Bombyx mori
Abstract:Several evidences for nongenomic action of ecdysteroids through membrane receptor (mEcR) in programmed cell death (PCD) of the Bombyx mori anterior silk glands (ASGs) have been reported. The isolation, characterization and sequencing of mEcR still remain elusive. In the present work, monoclonal antibodies against mEcR has been raised, for the first time, and expected to facilitate any further molecular characterization of that novel receptor. The solubilized ASGs membrane fractions were used for immunizing … Show more
