ABSTRACT

Monoclonal antibodies (McAb) and polyclonal antibodies (PcAb) against human insulin-like growth factor-I (somatomedin C; hIGF-I) were produced. Using these two antibodies, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system for hIGF-I was established. The ELISA system was able to detect hIGF-I at a range of 1–25 μg/l, compared with the range of 1–50 μg/l detected by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Human IGF-II and human insulin could not be recognized in this system. The plasma concentrations of IGF-I found using the ELISA agreed well with those found using RIA after conventional Sep-Pak C₁₈ cartridge pretreatment. Epitopes of hIGF-I to McAb and PcAb were investigated by enzymatic digestion of hIGF-I followed by comparing the affinity of the antibodies to the peptides obtained proteolytically. The epitope to McAb was found to be a peptide containing Leu¹⁰-Val¹¹-Asp¹² (epitope 2). Five epitopes to PcAb containing the following key fragments were identified: a conformational structure formed by the disulphide bonds between Cys⁶ and Cys⁴⁸, and between Cys⁴⁷ and Cys⁵² (epitope 1), Leu¹⁰-Val¹¹-Asp¹² (epitope 2), Val¹⁷-Cys¹⁸-Gly¹⁹-Asp²⁰ (epitope 3), Arg²¹-Gly²²-Phe²³-Tyr²⁴ (epitope 4) and Lys⁶⁸-Ser⁶⁹-Ala⁷⁰ (epitope 5). Of these, the peptide containing epitope 5 showed the highest affinity to PcAb. The results indicated that our ELISA system combined recognition by epitope 2 of McAb and recognition by epitope 5 of PcAb to obtain its good specificity.
