Monoclonal antibodies were generated against purified bovine ß-lactoglobulin A. Six antibodies reactive only with ß-lactoglobulin were selected. At least one of the antibodies appeared to be species monospecific for bovine ß-lactoglobulin. The remaining five antibodies recognized proteins in caprine and porcine whey fractions. One monoclonal antibody (59-1) exhibited a distinct 2:l preference for ß-lactoglobulin B over A at near neutral pH (7.5). These antibodies should prove extremely useful adjuncts in structural studies of bovine ß-lactoglobulin.
Key Words: bovine ßbeta;-lactoglobulin monoclonal antibodies
