Development of a new anti-prolactin receptor (PRLR) antibody, F56, which can serve as a PRLR antagonist.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules 2017 Februrary
In this work, we developed a new prolactin receptor (PRLR) antagonist using the hybridoma technique. A series of monoclonal antibodies against prolactin receptor (PRLR) was prepared, from which we characterized and selected one anti-PRLR antibody, F56. Epitome mapping showed that F56 and prolactin (PRL) share a common binding epitope on PRLR, and therefore, F56 could compete with prolactin (PRL) for binding to PRLR. Subsequent experiments indicated that F56 could effectively neutralize PRLR-mediated intracellular signalling molecules, such as signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase-1 and kinase 2 (ERK1/2), either by endogenously expressed PRLR or in a cell model transfected with PRLR. In addition, further experiments showed that F56 could effectively inhibit PRL-induced cell proliferation. The current study suggests that F56 has potential applications in PRLR-related studies.
