Abstract

Ambystoma talpoidium CTMax Desmognathus ochrophaeus ELISA Eurycea bislineata Fundulus heteroclitus Heat shock protein hsp-70 immunodetection monoclonal antibody Pimephales promelas Plethodon cinereus Trachemys scripta
1. 1. We purified hsp-70 from salamander, Plethodon cinereus, and established mouse myeloma-B lymphocyte hybridoma cell lines to produce monoclonal antibodies against hsp-70. 2. 2. An ELISA test using the monoclonal antibody allows rapid quantification of hsp-70 from tissue homogenates from large numbers of animals. 3. 3. Salamanders ( P. cinereus, Eurycea bislineata, Desmognathus ochrophaeus, Ambystoma talpoidium), turtle ( Trachemys scripta) and fish ( Fundulus heteroclitus, Pimephales promelas) contain large amounts of constitutive hsp-70 and a small but consistent increase in hsp-70 within 1 h of heat shock. 4. 4. ELISA test indicates that there is considerable variation in hsp-70 level among individuals of a species. 5. 5. Constitutive hsp-70 is present at normal ecological temperatures and additional hsp-70 is induced at temperatures as low as 25°C in A. talpoideum.
