Resumen
The calcium-binding protein S100A9 regulates inflammatory processes and the immune response. It is overexpressed in a variety of inflammatory and oncologic conditions. In this study, we produced a recombinant human S100A9 (hS100A9) antigen with high yield and purity and used it to generate a hybridoma cell culture-based monoclonal anti-hS100A9 antibody. We selected five anti-hS100A9 antibodies from cell supernatants that showed high antigen binding efficiency and identified the nucleotide sequences of three antibodies: two with high effective concentration values and one with the lowest value. The antigen and antibody development procedures described herein are useful for producing large amounts of monoclonal antibodies against hS100A9 and other antigens of interest. The nucleotide sequences of the anti-hS100A9 monoclonal antibody revealed herein will be helpful in the generation of recombinant antibodies or antibody fragments against hS100A9.
