Migration inhibition activity from ascitic fluids of ovarian cancer patients (OC-MIF) was used to develop monoclonal antibodies. The OC-MIF was purified about 10,000 fold by affinity chromatography on L-fucose-Sepharose 6B. Spleen cells from AB/Jena mice immunized with purified OC-MIF were hybridized with P3X63 Ag 8.653 myeloma cells. Supernatants of the hybridoma cultures were screened by solid-phase binding assay, direct neutralizing assay and solid-phase RIA. Several clones of these hybridomas secreted antibodies into the culture medium, which neutralized the biological activity of OC-MIF at dilutions as high as 10(-4) relative to the initial culture medium. After expansion and cloning one clone was selected for ascitic antibody production. This monoclonal antibody coupled to Sepharose 4B adsorbed OC-MIF. Most of the adsorbed biological activity could be eluted with 0.1 M acetic acid.
