Abstract

Proteomics research in humans and other eukaryotes demands a large number of high-quality mAbs. Here, we report a new approach to produce high-quality mAbs against human liver proteins using a combined force of high-throughput mAb production and protein microarrays. After immunizing mice with live cells from human livers, we isolated 54 hybridomas with binding activities to human cells and identified the corresponding antigens for five mAbs via screening on a protein microarray of 1058 unique human liver proteins. Finally, we demonstrated that using the five mAbs we could characterize the expression profiles of their corresponding antigens by using tissue microarrays. Among them, we discovered that eIF1A expressed only in normal liver tissues, not in hepatocellular carcinoma in humans.
