Three mouse monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) to human apo A-I were produced using apolipoprotein A-I or HDL3 as immunogens. These monoclonal antibodies, 2G11, 4A12 and 4B11, were characterized for their reactivity with isolated apolipoprotein A-I and HDL in solution. The immunoblotting patterns of the HDL3 two-dimensional electrophoresis show that these three monoclonal antibodies reacted with all the polymorphic forms of apolipoprotein A-I. Cotitration experiments indicated that they correspond to three distinct epitopes. In order to locate these three antigenic determinants on the isolated apolipoprotein A-I, the reactivity of the three monoclonal antibodies has been studied on CNBr-cleaved apolipoprotein A-I. The monoclonal antibodies 2G11 and 4A12 addressed to the amino (CNBr 1) and carboxy (CNBr 4) terminal segments, respectively. In comparison with the monoclonal antibodies characterized by Weech et al. ((1985) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 835, 390-401), monoclonal antibody 4A12 is the only one described in the literature which is specific of the carboxy terminal segment of apolipoprotein A-I. Monoclonal antibody 4B11 does not react with any CNBr fragment, its binding is temperature dependent, it could be directed to a conformational epitope. Relative differences were demonstrated in the expression of the three epitopes in HDL subfractions isolated by density gradient ultracentrifugation. According to Curtiss and Edgington ((1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 2982-2993) our results indicate the existence of an immunochemical heterogeneity in the organization of apolipoprotein A-I at the surface of HDL particles as well as in the soluble form of apolipoprotein A-I.
