Monoclonal antibody to the gastrin receptor on parietal cells recognizes a 78-kDa protein

Journal Article · · Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.; (United States)
Four monoclonal antibodies reactive by immunofluorescence and by flow microfluorimetry with canine and porcine gastric parietal cell membranes were produced by fusion of mouse NS-1 myeloma cells with splenocytes from mice immunized with a population of canine gastric mucosal cells containing 60-70% parietal cells. One of these, an IgM antibody designated 2Cl, reacted with the surface membranes of parietal cells by immunofluorescence, flow microfluorimetry, and immunogold electron microscopy; competed with /sup 125/I-labeled gastrin for binding to gastric cells; and inhibited by 56% maximal gastrin stimulation of (/sup 14/C)aminopyrine uptake in parietal cells. The antibody immunoprecipitated /sup 125/I-labeled samples of a 78-kDa gastrin-binding protein purified from membrane extracts of porcine gastrin mucosa but did not recognize the same protein labeled covalently with /sup 125/I-labeled gastrin-(2-17)-hexadecapeptide. These observations suggest that the previously identified 78-kDa gastrin-binding protein is the gastrin receptor and that the antibody 2C1 is directed against the gastrin binding site of the gastrin receptor.
