RESUMO
Genetic studies of plants and their pathogens indicate that dominant alleles for resistance in hosts are complemented by corresponding dominant alleles for avirulence in pathogens. Products of these genes have not yet been identified. We have produced murine monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to extracellular antigens of the fungal soybean pathogen Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea (Pmg, race 1) as part of a larger effort to identify antigenic determinants associated with particular avirulence genes. Thirty-six independent mAbs have been characterized by binding to Western blots of Pmg extracellular glycoproteins and by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with glycoproteins modified by treatment with periodate, α-mannosidase, and endo-β-N-acetylglucosaminidase H. The mAbs are predominantly carbohydrate-specific and can be placed in six groups based on interactions with Pmg glycoproteins. Binding patterns of various mAbs to Western blots indicate that Pmg proteins may have single or multiple types of attached carbohydrate antigens. Races of Pmg with differing avirulence genes exhibit more characteristic differences by Western blot analysis than by protein staining of glycoprotein profiles. Several of the mAbs show much higher reaction levels to glycoproteins from race 1 than from two other races. All of the glycoprotein-specific mAbs cross-react with purified mycelial walls.
