Isolation of monoclonal antibodies recognizing rat bone-associated molecules in vitro and in vivo

Knowledge of the number and kinds of differentiation steps that characterize cells of the osteoblast lineage is inadequate. To further analyze osteoblast differentiation, we generated a series of monoclonal antibodies (MAb) to osteogenic cells. Spleen cells from mice immunized with whole-cell populations enriched for expression of osteoblast- associated properties or bone formation in vitro were fused with the SP2/0 myeloma cell line. Supernatants from growing hybridomas were screened by indirect immunofluorescence on frozen sections of a portion of 21-day fetal rat heads that included the calvaria bone, periosteum, muscle, fibrous connective tissue, and skin. Six MAb were selected with bone-associated staining and limited ability to label other tissues. Either cell surface or cytoplasmic molecules were recognized by five of the MAb; one recognized a molecule detectable both in the cytoplasm, on the cell surface, and in the extracellular matrix. Of the antibodies selected, one identified both preosteoblasts and osteoblasts and has been found to be against alkaline phosphatase. The others recognized the mature osteoblasts, osteocytes, and chondrocytic cells. The pattern and distribution of the labeling in vivo extended to primary cells and cell lines in vivo. These results support earlier observations on molecules differentially expressed by cells at different stages of the osteoblast lineage and extend the available cell surface and cytoplasmic epitopes identifiable as marker molecules.
