Three IgG class anti-bovine CXCL8 (bCXCL8) monoclonal antibody (mAb)-secreting hybridomas, SH8-8D7, SH8-12A5 and SH8-2A1, were developed. SH8-8D7 was IgG2a, and SH8-12A5 and SH8-2A1 were IgG1. All three mAbs detected recombinant bCXCL8 (rbCXCL8) by immunoprecipitation and Western blotting. SH8-2A1 could neutralise the chemotactic activity of rbCXCL8 towards neutrophils. The quantitative bCXCL8 ELISA was constituted by the combination of SH8-12A5 and biotin-SH8-2A1. The detection range was 20-1000 pg/mL. A sandwich ELISA was used to measure native bCXCL8 derived from the supernatant of cultured bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with ConA, LPS or PHA. Furthermore, SH8-2A1 could detect bCXCL8 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, pneumonic calf tissues. These findings indicate that the newly developed anti-bCXCL8 mAbs could contribute to research on bovine inflammatory responses and immunology.
