W. J. Gullick** and J. M. Lindstrom* abstract: One hundred and fifty-four monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) raised against acetylcholine receptors from several species were tested for their ability to bind iodinated dissociated receptor subunits from Torpedo californica electric organ. Seventy-four mAbs bound detectably, and their primary subunit binding preference was established by immunopre-cipitation followed by gel electrophoresis. Several mAbs cross-reacted between subunits. In order to quantitate their relative affinity we determined the apparent titer of each mAb against each subunit. Ninety-four percent of the mAbs tested were at least 95% specific for a single subunit. Most cross-reacting mAbs bound predominantly to one subunit and weakly to others. However, two mAbs bound to some degree with all four subunits. To assess their specificity of binding, we tested them all for binding to bovine serum albumin, ovalbumin, and phosvitin. Only one mAb which bound to phosvitin showed any extraneous cross-reaction. We also tested five mAbs raised against unrelated antigens for reaction with great potential virtueof monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) as probes of the structure and function of acetylcholine re-ceptors is that mAbs can be prepared against many parts of the receptor macromolecule. In principal, the site at which a mAb binds can be determined rather precisely. However, the first steps in mapping a library of mAbs to the receptor, and thereby characterizing the antigenic structure of the re-ceptor, are simply to determine the receptor subunit specificity of each mAb and then determine how many different antigenic determinants can be detected within each receptor subunit. In this paper we undertake these first steps for a library of 154 mAbs raised against receptors from the electric organs of Torpedo californica and Electrophorus electricus and the muscles of cattle and humans (Tzartos & Lindstrom, 1980, 1981; Tzartos et al., 1981; SJ Tzartos, LW Swanson, L. K. Langeberg, S. M. Hochschwender, and J. M. Lindstrom, unpublished results) using subunits of receptor from Torpedo californica. In subsequent papers we will order these antigenic determinants and other structural features of the subunits along the amino acid sequence of the a (W. J. Gullick et al., unpublished results) and 8 subunits (Anderson et al., 1983). Acetylcholine receptors from the electricorgans of Torpedo californica and Electrophorus electricus have the subunit stoichiometry a2py8 (Reynolds & Karlin, 1978; Lindstrom et al., 1979a; Raftery et al., 1980; Conti-Tronconi et al., 1982b). This indicates that the subunit stoichiometry of f From the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, San Diego, California
