The Wuerzburg Hybridoma Library against the
Drosophila brain represents a
collection of around 200 monoclonal antibodies
that bind to specific structures in the
Drosophila brain. Here we
describe the immunohistochemical staining
patterns, the Western blot signals of one- and
two-dimensional electrophoretic separation, and
the mass spectrometric characterization of the
target protein candidates recognized by the
monoclonal antibodies aa2 and ab52 from the
library. Analysis of a mutant of a candidate gene
identified the Drosophila homolog
of the Epidermal growth factor receptor Pathway
Substrate clone 15 (Eps15) as the antigen for
these two antibodies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
