    Notes: Abstract Cross-reactions among carbonic anhydrases (CAs) I, II, and III were studied using a variety of antisera: (1) a rabbit antiserum to bovine CA III, (2) mouse antisera to human CA I, CA II, and CA III; and (3) five monoclonal antibodies prepared by the hybridoma technique using splenocytes from a mouse immunized with human CAs I and II and bovine CA III. Cross-reactions between CAs were readily found by binding assays using these antisera. Human CA I, but not human CA II, inhibited the reaction of the rabbit anti-CA III with its homologous antigen. Mouse antisera to CA I or CA II bound the homologous I or II with nearly as great efficiency as the autologous isozyme and sometimes weakly bound CA III. Mouse antisera to CA III frequently bound CA I or II. These cross-reactions were confirmed by the first use of hybridoma-prepared, monoclonal antibodies to CAs. The mouse monoclonal antibodies to CA isozymes varied in the amount of cross-reactivity among I, II, and III: at one extreme, one monoclonal was highly specific for the autologous CA III; at the other extreme, one monoclonal weakly reacted with some examples of CAs I, II, and III.

    Notes: Abstract Although the proximal, 5′ 115 bp of the human carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) gene was sufficient for expression of a reporter gene in some transfected cell lines, we found previously that 1100 bp of this promoter (or 500 bp of the mouse CA II promoter) was not sufficient for expression in transgenic mice. We have now studied the expression of linked reporter genes in mice transgenic for either (1) 11 kb of the human 5′ promoter or (2) 8 kb of the human 5′ promoter with mouse sequences from the first exon, part of the first intron (since a CpG island spans this region), and the 3′ sequences of the gene. Expression was found in both cases, but the tissue specificity was not appropriate for CA II. Although there was a difference in the sensitivity of the assays used, the first construct led to expression in many tissues, while the second construct was expressed only in spleen. These findings indicate considerable complexity of DNA control regions for in vivo CA II expression.
