Guanylate cyclase (GTP pyrophosphate-lyase, cyclizing, EC 4.6. 1.2), the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of cyclic GMP, is detected mostly in soluble fraction and partly associated with particulate fraction of mammalian tissues [l-61. In rat brain, guanylate cyclase is found mainly in synaptosomal soluble fraction suggesting its involvement in the neural transmission [6]. We have purified the soluble guanyiate cyclase from bovine brain to an apparent homogeneity and produced the antibody to the enzyme by immunizing a rabbit [7]. The antibody effectively inhibited the soluble guanylate cyclase activity from various mammalian tissues, but not the Triton-dispersed particulate guanylate cyclase from tissues. A method for preparing a monoclonal antibody has been established [8]. Because of its high specificity, a monoclonal antibody would offer a method for studying the different properties of enzyme molecules and for histochemically demonstrating the cellular as well as subcellular localization of guanylate cyclase. We report here production and properties of the monoclonal antibody to the soluble guanylate cyclase of rat brain.The purified guanylate cyclase (64OMg) was injected into BALB/c mouse intraperitoneally with 2 X lo9 heat-inactivated pertussis organisms. The booster injections were carried out twice at a 3-week interval without pertussis organisms. Spleen cells were taken from immunized mouse 3 days after the last booster injection and fused with mouse myeloma cells P3-NS I/l-Ag4-1 (NS I) as in [9]. Spleen cells (1.6 X 108) were fused with 4 X 10’myeloma cells by the addition of 1 ml 50% polyethylene glycol4000. The cells were suspended in growth medium (RPM1 1640 supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum, 2 mM L-glutamine and 1 mM pyruvate) and inoculated in two 96-well Nunc Microtest Plates. Two days later, 0.1 ml of HAT selective medium (growth medium supplemented with 100 PM hypoxanthine, 0.4 PM aminopterin and 16 PM thymidine) was added and half of the medium was replaced 3 times during the subsequent 10 days. Fourteen days after cell fusion, culture fluid (60 fl) was assayed for anti-guanylate cyclase antibody by measuring enzyme inhibition as described below. Monoclonal hybridoma cell lines were obtainec’by a limiting dilution method repeated twice.
