Abstract
It is intended to provide a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes human soluble LOX-1, particularly a monoclonal antibody with a dissociation constant (Kd) for human soluble LOX-1 of 1×10−9 (M) or less. The antibody can be produced from a hybridoma prepared by a method including the following steps of: (1) immunizing a non-human animal with a prokaryotic cell-derived human LOX-1 extracellular domain; (2) collecting antibody-producing cells from the animal; (3) fusing the antibody-producing cells with myeloma cells; (4) selecting hybridomas that produce a monoclonal antibody reacting with the human LOX-1 extracellular domain from the fused cells obtained in the above step; and (5) selecting a hybridoma that produces a monoclonal antibody reacting with a eukaryotic cell-derived human LOX-1 extracellular domain from the selected hybridomas.
