[en] The monoclonal antibody against mercaptoundecahydrododecaborate (BSH) was prepared, which recognized specifically the icosahedral boron cluster moiety and named 'anti-BSH MAb'. The dissociation constant of anti-BSH MAb against BSH was determined, and the cross reactivity was also clarified by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In addition, the amino acid sequences of the antigen-binding site in the variable region of heavy and light chains were partly determined and characterized upon protein database. Furthermore, a highly specific, rapid and practical immunoassay for BSH including quantitative determination of the BSH concentrations in blood by the competitive ELISA system using anti-BSH MAb has been explored.

[en] Three monoclonal antibodies against p-boronophenylalanine (anti-BPA MAb) were first prepared from the hybridoma by the modified reported method. The dissociation constants of anti-BPA MAbs against BPA and its related compounds were measured by using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). These anti-BPA MAbs had high binding affinity and specificity against BPA. (author)
