Abstract excerpt
Osteopontin (OPN) plays an important role in regulating lymphocyte adhesion and cytokine production associated with inflammatory processes and autoimmune diseases. Here we developed and characterized a monoclonal antibody F8E11 specific for human OPN (hOPN). F8E11 could inhibit OPN-induced lymphocyte activation and migration. Epitope mapping showed that F8E11 could specifically recognize the peptide QLYxxYP. In...
