Abstract

NEW MATERIAL:An antibody against male specific antigen capable of specifically linking to a middle piece part of male sperm. USE:A female and male fractionating reagent for discriminating sperm of mammalian species and fractionating female and male of sperm. PREPARATION:For example, a spermary of a pure line male hamster after pair mating for >=20 generations is extracted and homogenized, mixed with complete Freund's adjuvant to give an emulsion, which is then subcutaneously injected into a pure line female hamster to carry out immunological sensitization. The above-mentioned operation is carried out 5 times at an interval of one week and blood is collected on the 10th day after the final injection, coagulated and subjected to centrifugation, etc., to afford the aimed antibody against male specific antigen.

Generally, experimental animals are subjected to bear mating (pair mating).
When the kinship coefficient is 99.8% or more when the breeding is carried out for about 20 generations by sub-aging), in this state male and female animals are identical in all genes other than the gene that produces male-specific antigens. Such a population of animals is said to be isogenic and distinct from inbred animals that have been passed through mass mating. Therefore, once such pure-bred animals are established, antibodies against male-specific antigens, that is, antibodies against male-specific antigens, can be produced by immunizing female animals with organs that produce male-specific antigens, such as testis. Layer specific antigens (male specific antibodies) can be produced in the serum of the immunized female animal.

In other words, in order to establish a pure lineage, pair mating must be carried out for over 20 generations, and pair mating is defined as pair mating, in which only one male and female pair of hand animals born from a common parent animal is separated from another. This is a breeding method in which animals are isolated from other animals and bred repeatedly, and unlike mass mating, in which multiple pairs of parent animals are bred together, extremely strict management is required to continue this process repeatedly. do.

According to the method of the invention, female mice are immunized with an immunogen preparation from a male animal containing a male-specific antigen. The immunogenic preparation can be prepared from testis, lung, cells, tissues or organs expressing iso-male-specific antigens. Particular preference is given to using testicles. The treatment of these cells, tissues or organs is conveniently carried out by homocynation. For immunization of female animals, complete Freund's adjuvant is used as an immunization adjuvant.

The results of the observation are shown in Table 1. When testing three different experiments using sperm donated by three different people using the chi-square method, there is no significant difference in the experimental results depending on the sperm donor. Furthermore, when a chi-square test was performed using the total of three different experiments, it was observed with an accuracy of 0.1% or higher that immunostained spermatozoa were also stained by quinacrine mustard. Therefore, it can be concluded that the antitumor-specific antigen of the present invention recognizes only spermatozoa having a Y chromosome, that is, male spermatozoa.
