Recent immunological approaches have greatly helped broaden our understanding of the biomedical significance of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in aging and age-enhanced disease processes. Recently, Nepsilon-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML), one of the glycoxidation products of AGEs, was demonstrated to be a major immunological epitope among AGEs. In the subsequent study, we characterized 13 different polyclonal anti-AGE antibodies and showed that these antibodies could be classified into three groups (Groups I, II and III). Group I was specific for CML and both Group II and Group III were specific for other epitopes (non-CML). Time-course study suggested that the epitope of Group II was formed earlier than that of Group III. In the present study, we prepared two monoclonal anti-AGE antibodies (2A2 and 3A3) whose epitope structures appeared to be closely related to Group III and Group II, respectively. The result indicates that AGE-proteins express at least two major non-CML epitopes.
