Functional and structural properties of fibronectin--high molecular weight glyco-protein from human plasma--were studied by monoclonal antibodies against fibronectin. It was shown that monoclonal antibodies against human plasma fibronectin exhibit a certain species specificity. Antigenic determinant for our monoclonal antibody is located in the central part of the protein polypeptide chain--in the structural domain. The monoclonal antibodies studied do not inhibit any tested functions of fibronectin. In contrast, polyclonal antibodies are not species specific and inhibit all fibronectin functions.
