特异性抗体效价检测技术概述

特异性抗体效价是生物制品活性（浓度）的重要标志,通常采用生物学方法来测定,并以抗体与其相应抗原反应产生的、可观察到的标准免疫反应来表示。抗原抗体间除发生特畀性反应外,还会产生交叉反应,从而使特异性抗体效价的检测出现偏差,这在实际应用中亟需避免。特异性抗体效价检测技术是疾病诊断、特异性免疫球蛋白制备和疫苗评价等领域的关键技术,在生物制品质量控制及医学临床实践中意义重大。本文对抗体效价检测的常规技术及其研究进展进行简要综述,并对这些技术的特异性、灵敏性、检测周期及应用情况等方面进行比较分析,以期对特异性抗体效价检测技术有一个系统全面的认知,有利于研究人员在实际应用中选择合适的技术,共同推动抗体检测技术的发展。

Class-specific antibody in human dermatophytosis reactive withTrichophyton rubrum derived antigen

Dermatophyte infections induce a humoral immune response and an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect specific antibody classes against antigen derived fromTrichophyton rubrum. Sera from 19 acute patients, 18 chronic patients, and 27 normal controls were evaluated. Mean IgG titers against dermatophyte antigen were significantly higher in all patients than in controls. Mean IgM levels were significantly higher in acute patients than in controls. No significant difference was detected in IgE titers between the patients and controls. These results do not reveal whether the humoral immune response has a role in the progression of the infection.Abbreviations CMI cell-mediated immunity - PBS phosphate buffered saline - Tr antigen Trichophyton rubrum antigen     

Structural insights into chemokine CCL17 recognition by antibody M116

The homeostatic chemokine CCL17, also known as thymus and activation regulated chemokine (TARC), has been associated with various diseases such as asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, atopic dermatitis and ulcerative colitis. Neutralization of CCL17 by antibody treatment ameliorates the impact of disease by blocking influx of T cells. Monoclonal antibody M116 derived from a combinatorial library shows potency in neutralizing CCL17-induced signaling. To gain insight into the structural determinants of antigen recognition, the crystal structure of M116 Fab was determined in complex with CCL17 and in the unbound form. Comparison of the structures revealed an unusual induced-fit mechanism of antigen recognition that involves cis-trans isomerization in two CDRs. The structure of the CCL17-M116 complex revealed the antibody binding epitope, which does not overlap with the putative receptor epitope, suggesting that the current model of chemokine-receptor interactions, as observed in the CXCR4-vMIP-II system, may not be universal.

Antigen itself antibody: an alternative one‐step immunoassay for measuring the anti‐idiotypic antibody titer

Immunoassay designs rely on the great specificity of antibodies and a suitable marker that facilitates generation of a quantitative signal. Currently, there is no reliable method for measuring the titers of an anti‐idiotypic antibody. Our initial attempt to measure titers of mouse anti‐idiotypic antibody after idiotypic vaccination with HM‐1 killer toxin neutralizing monoclonal antibody (nmAb‐KT) failed. Because the injected antigen, nmAb‐KT, is a mouse IgG, using a commercial antibody to measure the antibody titer always gave a false positive signal against control mouse serum antibody in parallel with the antigen‐treated immunized serum antibodies. To get a reliable and clearly differentiable signal by ELISA, idiotypic antigen was labeled with HRP and HRP‐conjugated‐nmAb‐KT used to measure the antibody titers in the antigen‐treated mice. Compared with control mice, signals were found in high anti‐nmAb‐KT IgG responses in test mice; however, untreated control mice had a significant amount of purified non‐specific IgG. This method is amenable to long read lengths and will likely enable anti‐idiotypic antibody titer measurement in a more specific and cost effective way without requiring commercial antibody.     

Variables of the Rubella Hemagglutination-Inhibition Test System and Their Effect on Antigen and Antibody Titers

A systematic study was made of certain variables of the rubella hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test system and their effect on antigen and antibody titers. Erythrocytes from pigeons and 1-day-old chicks gave similar antigen and antibody titers, but goose erythrocytes gave lower titers. Indicator erythrocytes could be stored in Alsever's solution at 4 C for as long as 2 weeks without losing sensitivity in hemagglutination (HA) and HI tests. Antigen titers varied by eightfold or more in different diluent systems; titers were generally higher at pH 6.2 than at pH 7.2. A diluent without Ca²⁺ gave antigen titers as high as those obtained in diluents with added Ca²⁺ ions. Antibody titers also varied in different diluent systems. HEPES diluents at pH 6.2 gave higher antibody titers than those obtained in other diluents, but occasional “false-positive” inhibition reactions were seen. Kaolin suspended in borate saline at pH 9.0 effectively removed inhibitor from sera without absorbing specific antibody, but at pH 7.3 it removed various amounts of specific antibody. Antibody titers of sera treated with kaolin at pH 9.0 were similar to those of sera treated with heparin-MnCl₂; treatment with dextran sulfate-CaCl₂ gave lower antibody titers. Antigens varied widely in sensitivity for detecting HI antibody and in the ability to detect diagnostically significant increases in antibody. Sensitivity in detecting antibody was not related to the HA titer of the antigens. Tween-ether-treated antigens gave lower antibody titers but were more reliable than corresponding untreated antigens for serological diagnosis of infection.     

Methods for reducing nonspecific interaction in antibody-antigen assay via atomic force microscopy

We developed a method to measure the rupture forces between antibody and antigen by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Previous studies have reported that in the measurement of antibody–antigen interaction using AFM, the specific intermolecular forces are often obscured by nonspecific adhesive binding forces between antibody immobilized cantilever and substrate surfaces on which antigen or nonantigen are fixed. Here, we examined whether detergent and nonreactive protein, which have been widely used to reduce nonspecific background signals in ordinary immunoassay and immunoblotting, could reduce the nonspecific forces in the AFM measurement. The results showed that, in the presence of both nonreactive protein and detergent, the rupture forces between anti-ferritin antibodies immobilized on a tip of cantilever and ferritin (antigen) on the substrate could be successfully measured, distinguishing from nonspecific adhesive forces. In addition, we found that approach/retraction velocity of the AFM cantilever was also important in the reduction of nonspecific adhesion. These insights will contribute to the detection of specific molecules at nanometer scale region and the investigation of intermolecular interaction by the use of AFM.     

Experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis: can pretreatment with 125I-labeled receptor prevent functional damage at the neuromuscular junction?

Rats were immunized with purified receptor from electric fish to induce experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis (EAMG). It is implied by the clonal selection theory that antigens react only with receptors on specific immunocompetent cell subpopulations. In an attempt to damage these specific cells with the aid of highly radioactive antigen, one group of rats was pretreated with an additional injection of radiolabeled receptor of high specific activity 3 days before the basic immunization. The success of the immunization was monitored by measuring changes in the following three parameters: antibody titers against nicotinic acetylcholine receptor; number of alpha-bungarotoxin-binding sites at endplates; and number of acetylcholine-operated ionic endplate channels, using quantitative electrophysiologic methods. Conventionally immunized animals showed the classical signs of EAMG: elevated antibody titers against nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and a reduction of the number of alpha-bungarotoxin-binding sites, as well as reduction of the number of acetylcholine-operated ionic channels. The same symptoms were found in animals pretreated with unlabeled receptor and in animals pretreated with radioactive albumin. Animals pretreated with radioactively labeled receptor showed far less reduction of functional nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and only slightly raised antibody titers. This study suggests that preimmunization with radioactive antigen selectively eliminates immunocompetent cells, thus precluding the production of antibodies by a subsequent immunization procedure. The same protective effect cannot be obtained by either preimmunization with unlabeled antigen or by radioactively labeled unspecific antigen.     

Comparison of infection-neutralizing and -enhancing antibody balance induced by two distinct genotype strains of dengue virus type 1 or 3 DNA vaccines in mice

Dengue viruses have spread throughout tropical and subtropical countries, and vaccine development is urgently needed. However, one concern is that induction of insufficient levels of neutralizing antibodies in vaccines may increase disease severity because of a hypothetical mechanism termed antibody-dependent enhancement of infection. This study used two distinct genotype strains of dengue virus types 1 and 3 (DENV1 and DENV3, respectively) to compare antibody responses in a mouse-DNA vaccine model. As expected, a conventional neutralization test using Vero cells showed higher antibody titers in homologous rather than heterologous combinations of genotype strains used for mouse immunization and the neutralization test, for each of DENV1 and DENV3. However, our assay system using K562 cells to measure the balance of neutralizing and enhancing antibodies indicated that Vero cell-neutralizing antibody titers did not always correlate with enhancing activities observed at subneutralizing doses. Rather, induction of enhancing activities depended on the genotype strain used for mouse immunization. The genotype/strain difference also affected IgG subclass profiles and potentially the composition of antibody species induced in mice. This study suggests that enhancing activities of dengue virus-induced neutralizing antibodies may vary according to the genotype and has implications for vaccine antigen development.
