Abstract

Six murine monoclonal antibodies against human hepatic cytochrome P-450 have been raised, using human liver microsomes (microsomal fractions) or semi-purified human cytochrome P-450 as immunogen. All six antibodies recognized the same highly purified of human liver cytochrome P-450 of molecular mass 53 kDa and gave rise to a single band at 53 kDa on immunoblots of human liver microsomes from 11 individuals. The antibodies also recognized proteins at 52 kDa and 54 kDa on immunoblots of control and induced male-rat liver microsomes, showing four different banding patterns. Antibodies HL4 and HP16 recognized a 52 kDa protein that was only weakly expressed in untreated rats and which was strongly induced by pregnenolone 16 alpha-carbonitrile (PCN) but not by phenobarbitone (PB), 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC), isosafrole (ISF), Aroclor 1254 (ARO), clofibrate or imidazole. HP10 and HL5 recognized a constitutive 52 kDa protein that was weakly induced by PCN but not by the other agents and was suppressed by 3MC and ARO. HP3 recognized a 54 kDa protein that was undetectable in control rats but was strongly induced by PB, PCN, ISF and ARO. HL3 appeared to recognize a combination of the proteins recognized by the other antibodies plus a 54 kDa protein that was weakly expressed in control rats. The constitutive proteins recognized were male-specific.
