Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in activating, regulating, and maintaining the immune response. CD103+ DCs, one of the DC subpopulations, mainly function in the mucosal immune response. They are responsible for capturing and carrying antigens to the relevant lymph nodes to activate the downstream immune responses. However, there is limited available information regarding the function of CD103+ DCs in the porcine mucosal immune response. In this study, two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against porcine CD103 were prepared, and their applications were evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), and flow cytometry. The produced mAbs (7F3 and 9H3) were both IgG1 subtype with κ chains in the light chain. The 7F3 recognizes a linear epitope (PDLRPRAQVYFSDLE) while 9H3 recognizes another linear epitope (QILDEGQVLLGAVGA). The prepared mAbs could be used in vivo to detect the cells expressing CD103 molecules, giving wide applications of both mAbs. In conclusion, this study successfully prepared 2 mAbs against CD103 protein, and they showed applicability in vivo experiments, which will provide the basis for the study of porcine mucosal immunity. KEY POINTS: • Preparation of monoclonal antibodies against porcine CD103 molecule • Analysis of the distribution of CD103 protein on different cells is possible • Exploration of the CD103 + DCs function in porcine mucosal immunity is possible.
