ABSTRACT

3-Nitro-L-tyrosine (nitrotyrosine) has recently been considered to be useful as a biomarker of endogenous production of several reactive nitrogen species including peroxynitrite. In the present study, nitrotyrosine was coupled to human serum albumin (HSA) using a two-step glutaraldehyde method and immunized mouse with multifocal intradermal injections. Using a conventional immunization protocol, 12 stable monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) producing cell lines recognizing nitrotyrosine were obtained. Six MAbs were selected for further characterization. A study of cross-reactions with nitrotyrosine-like compounds showed that the antibodies had a high specificity for nitrotyrosine, but no detectable reactivity with L-tyrosine, p-nitro-L-phenylalanine, o-phospho-L-tyrosine or 3-amino-L-tyrosine. Using these high titer and affinity antibodies, a competitive inhibition ELISA was developed with a lower detection limit of approximately 20 nmol/L to detect both free and protein-bound nitrotyrosine in biological systems.
