The monoclonal antibodies were all IgG1subclass, as defined by an isotyping kit (Roche Diagnostics, Sydney, NSW, Australia). reactivity of a polyclonal antibody raised against the native protein and the monoclonal antibodies were defined and mapped to unique regions within the IDS protein. The antigenicity of native IDS was higher in areas without glycosylation, but reactivity was not restricted to protein surface epitopes. One monoclonal epitope was relatively surface accessible and in close proximity to an N-linked glycosylation site, while three others required additional thermal energy to expose the epitopes. The monoclonal antibodies shown the capacity to differentiate progressive structural changes in IDS and could be used to characterize the severity of MPS type II in individuals based on variable denatured microstates.
