The inherent promiscuity of the polysialic acid (PSA) biosynthetic pathway has been exploited by the use of exogenous unnatural sialic acid precursor molecules to introduce unnatural modifications into cellular PSA, and has found applications in nervous system development and tumor vaccine studies. The sialic acid precursor molecules N-propionyl- and N-butanoyl-mannosamine (ManPr, ManBu) have been variably reported to affect PSA biosynthesis ranging from complete inhibition to de novo production of modified PSA, thus illustrating the need for further investigation into their effects. In this study, we have used a monoclonal antibody (mAb) 13D9, specific to both N-propionyl-PSA and N-butanoyl-PSA (NPrPSA and NBuPSA), together with flow cytometry, to study precursor-treated tumor cells and NT2 neurons at different stages of their maturation. We report that both ManPr and ManBu sialic acid precursors are metabolized and the resultant unnatural sialic acids are incorporated into de novo surface sialylglycoconjugates in murine and human tumor cells and, for the first time, in human NT2 neurons. Furthermore, neither precursor treatment deleteriously affected endogenous PSA expression; however, with NT2 cells, PSA levels were naturally downregulated as a function of their maturation into polarized neurons independent of sialic acid precursor treatment. 相似文献

Peptide mimotopes of pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide of 6B serotype: a peptide mimotope can bind to two unrelated antibodies 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Two groups of bacteriophage clones displaying the antigenic properties of serotype 6B pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide (PS) were obtained from different phage libraries expressing random heptameric peptides. One group, biopanned with a mouse mAb (Hyp6BM1), is comprised of 17 phage clones expressing 10 unique sequences of linear peptides. The other group, selected with another mAb (Hyp6BM8), contained six clones, all of which expressed the identical circular peptide. Phage clones expressing the linear peptides (e.g., PhaM1L3) bound only to Hyp6BM1, but not other 6B PS-specific mAb, and their binding could be inhibited with pneumococcal capsular type 6B PS only. In contrast, a phage clone expressing the circular peptide (PhaM8C1) cross-reacted with several other 6B PS-specific mAbs, and their binding could be inhibited with pneumococcal capsular PS of 6A and 6B serotypes. Two short peptides, PepM1L3 and PepM8C1, reflecting the peptide inserts of the corresponding phage clones, could inhibit the binding of the two clones to their respective mAb. Interestingly, the peptide insert in PhaM8C1 was identical to that in PhaB3C4, a previously reported mimotope of alpha(2-->8) polysialic acid, Neisseria meningitidis group B PS. Indeed, PhaM8C1 bound to HmenB3 (a meningococcal Ab), and their association could be inhibited with alpha(2-8) polysialic acid, but not with 6B PS. Conversely, alpha(2-8) polysialic acid could not inhibit the binding of PhaM8C1 to Hyp6BM8. The two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance studies indicate that PepM8C1 peptide can assume several conformations in solution. The ability of this peptide to assume multiple conformations might account for its ability to mimic more than one Ag type. 相似文献

We have chosen E. coli K92, which produces the alternating structure alpha(2-8)neuNAc alpha(2-9)neuNAc as a model system for studying bacterial polysaccharide biosynthesis. We have shown that the polysialyltransferase encoded by the K92 neuS gene can synthesize both alpha(2-8) and alpha(2-9) neuNAc linkages in vivo by 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance analysis of polysaccharide isolated from a heterologous strain containing the K92 neuS gene. The K92 polysialyltransferase is associated with the membrane in lysates of cells harboring the neuS gene in expression vectors. Although the enzyme can transfer sialic acid to the nonreducing end of oligosaccharides with either linkage, it is unable to initiate chain synthesis without exogenously added polysialic acid. Thus, the polysialyltransferase encoded by neuS is not sufficient for de novo synthesis of polysaccharide but requires another membrane component for initiation. The acceptor specificity of this polysialyltransferase was studied using sialic acid oligosaccharides of various structures as exogenous acceptors. The enzyme can transfer to the nonreducing end of all bacteria polysialic acids, but has a definite preference for alpha(2-8) acceptors. Gangliosides containing neuNAc alpha(2-8)neuNAc are elongated, whereas monsialylated gangliosides are not. Disialylgangliosides are better acceptors than short oligosaccharides, suggesting a lipid-linked oligosaccharide may be preferred in the elongation reaction. These studies show that the K92 polysialyltransferase catalyzes an elongation reaction that involves transfer of sialic acid from CMP-sialic acid to the nonreducing end of two different acceptor substrates. 相似文献

The mAb MR9-4 and MR9-8 react with T cells expressing the V beta 5.1 and -5.2 chains of the TCR. T cells expressing V beta 5.1 TCR were stained by both antibodies with similar surface fluorescence intensity. For the T cell clones and hybridomas expressing V beta 5.2 TCR, staining intensity with MR9-8 varied from negative to comparable to that stained with the anti-pan V beta 5 mAb MR9-4, whereas every V beta 5-positive T cell can be activated with either MR9-4 or -9-8 mAb, suggesting a differential binding affinity of MR9-8 mAb to V beta 5 TCR molecules. Analysis of J beta segment and V alpha chain usage in the V beta 5-positive T cell hybridomas revealed that a differential binding of MR9-8 mAb to the V beta 5.2 chain is not dependent on either the J beta segment usage or the associating V alpha chain alone. These results suggest that the differential binding of MR9-8 mAb to V beta 5.2 TCR is due to the conformational change of the V beta chain created by a combination of the V alpha (possibly J alpha) and D beta-J beta segment associating with the V beta 5.2 chain. 相似文献

Integrin alpha(5)beta(1), a major fibronectin receptor, functions in a wide variety of biological phenomena. We have found that alpha 2-8-linked oligosialic acids with 5 < or = degree of polymerization (DP) < or = 7 occur on integrin alpha(5) subunit of the human melanoma cell line G361. The integrin alpha(5) subunit immunoprecipitated with anti-integrin alpha(5) antibody reacted with the monoclonal antibody 12E3, which recognizes oligo/polysialic acid with DP > or = 5 but not with the polyclonal antibody H.46 recognizing oligo/polysialic acid with DP > or = 8. The occurrence of oligosialic acids was further demonstrated by fluorometric C(7)/C(9) analysis on the immunopurified integrin alpha(5) subunit. Oligosialic acids were also found in the alpha(5) subunit of several other human cells such as foreskin fibroblast and chronic erythroleukemia K562 cells. These results suggest the ubiquitous modification with unique oligosialic acids occurs on the alpha(5) subunit of integrin alpha(5)beta(1). The adhesion of human melanoma G361 cells to fibronectin was mainly mediated by integrin alpha(5)beta(1). Treatment of cells with sialidase from Arthrobacter ureafaciens cleaving alpha 2-3-, alpha 2-6-, and alpha 2-8-linked sialic acids inhibited adhesion to fibronectin. On the other hand, N-acetylneuraminidase II, which cleaves alpha 2-3 and alpha 2-6 but not alpha 2-8 linkages, showed no inhibitory activity. After the loss of oligosialic acids, integrin alpha(5)beta(1) failed to bind to fibronectin-conjugated Sepharose, indicating that the oligosialic acid on the alpha(5) subunit of integrin alpha(5)beta(1) plays important roles in cell adhesion to fibronectin. 相似文献

Activation of V gamma 9V delta 2 T cells by NKG2D 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Human Vgamma9 Vdelta2 T cells recognize phosphorylated nonpeptide Ags (so called phosphoantigens), certain tumor cells, and cells treated with aminobisphosphonates. NKG2D, an activating receptor for NK cells, has been described as a potent costimulatory receptor in the Ag-specific activation of gammadelta and CD8 T cells. This study provides evidence that Vgamma9 Vdelta2 T cells may also be directly activated by NKG2D. Culture of PBMC with immobilized NKG2D-specific mAb or NKG2D ligand MHC class I related protein A (MICA) induces the up-regulation of CD69 and CD25 in NK and Vgamma9 Vdelta2 but not in CD8 T cells. Furthermore, NKG2D triggers the production of TNF-alpha but not of IFN-gamma, as well as the release of cytolytic granules by Vgamma9 Vdelta2 T cells. Purified Vgamma9 Vdelta2 T cells kill MICA-transfected RMA mouse cells but not control cells. Finally, DAP10, which mediates NKG2D signaling in human NK cells, was detected in resting and activated Vgamma9 Vdelta2 T cells. These remarkable similarities in NKG2D function in NK and Vgamma9 Vdelta2 T cells may open new perspectives for Vgamma9 Vdelta2 T cell-based immunotherapy, e.g., by Ag-independent killing of NKG2D ligand-expressing tumors. 相似文献

For immunolocalization of alpha(2-8)-linked polysialic acid, which forms part of the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM), two monoclonal antibodies, MAb735 and IgMNOV, were employed. Both antibodies have previously been shown to bind the extremely low immunogenic capsular polysaccharide of group B meningococci, which also consists of alpha(2-8) polysialic acid, but not to other, even closely related forms of polysialic acid. Despite the identical polysaccharide specificity of these two MAb, we observed marked differences of the staining pattern in tissue sections. We showed that these differences in immunostaining were due to the crossreactivity of IgMNOV with polynucleotides and DNA. MAb735, however, was shown to react exclusively with alpha(2-8) polysialic acid. Moreover, the specificity of MAb735 proved to be unique among eleven other MAb directed against various bacterial polysaccharides, as it was the only one unreactive with polynucleotides. Thus, MAb735, the only IgG type mouse monoclonal antibody to polysialic acid thus far reported, can be considered a specific probe for the unambiguous detection of alpha(2-8) polysialic acid in tissue sections, and should therefore help to further elucidate the role of polysialic acid in developmental processes. 相似文献

N-Propionyl, N-butyryl (N-Bu), and N-benzoyl mannosamine, as precursors of sialic acid biosynthesis, were incubated with human melanoma SK-MEL-28 cells and resulted in the replacement of N-acetyl groups on the cell surface sialic acid residues, including those associated with GD3. Meanwhile, vaccines containing GD3 and modified GD3 tetrasaccharide-keyhole limpet hemocyanin conjugates were synthesized, and BALB/c mice were immunized with them together with monophosphoryl lipid A adjuvant. The GD3Bu-keyhole limpet hemocyanin conjugate raised the highest IgG titers without any cross-reactivity to unmodified GD3. Expression of GD3Bu epitopes on the surface of SK-MEL-28 cells was confirmed in vitro and in vivo by the binding of a polyclonal antiserum and monoclonal antibody (mAb) 2A, both of which specifically recognize GD3Bu, and by mass spectroscopic analysis of glycolipids extracted from cells. Following expression of GD3Bu on the surface of SK-MEL-28 cells, the cells could be lysed by mAb 2A and GD3Bu antiserum in the presence of complement. Although less effective in the control of existing large size tumors ( approximately 10 mm inner diameter) on BALB/c nu/nu mice, mAb 2A in combination with ManNBu effectively protected mice from SK-MEL-28 tumor grafting. This approach may provide a method to augment the immunogenicity of sialylated human antigens and to avoid generating an autoimmune response to them at same time. 相似文献

The capsular polysaccharide of Escherichia coli K92 contains alternating -8-NeuAcalpha2- and -9-NeuAcalpha2- linkages. The enzyme catalyzing this polymerizing reaction has been cloned from the genomic DNA of E. coli K92. The 1.2-kilobase polymerase chain reaction fragment was subcloned in pRSET vector and the protein was expressed in the BL21(DE3) strain of E. coli with a hexameric histidine at its N-terminal end. The enzyme was isolated in the supernatant after lysis of the cells and fractionated by ultracentrifugation. Western blotting using anti-histidine antibody showed the presence of a band that migrated at about 47.5 kDa on both reducing and nonreducing SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, indicating a monomeric enzyme. Among the carbohydrate acceptors tested, N-acetylneuraminic acid and the gangliosides G(D3) and G(Q1b) were preferred substrates. The cell-free enzyme reaction products obtained were characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry, which indicated the presence of both alpha2,9- and alpha2,8-linked polysialyl structure. The K92 neuS gene was used to transform the K1 strain of E. coli, the capsule of which contains only -8-NeuAcalpha2- linkages. Analysis of the polysaccharides isolated from these transformed cells is consistent with the presence of both -8-NeuAcalpha2- and -9-NeuAcalpha2- linkages. Our results suggest that the neuS gene product of E. coli K92 catalyzes the synthesis of polysialic acid with alpha2,9- and alpha2,8-linkages in vitro and in vivo. 相似文献

Polysialic acid is a linear homopolymer of α2–8-linked sialic acids attached mainly onto glycoproteins. Cell surface polysialic acid plays roles in cell adhesion and differentiation events in a manner that is often dependent on the degree of polymerization (DP). Anti-oligo/polysialic acid antibodies have DP-dependent antigenic specificity, and such antibodies are widely utilized in biological studies for detecting and distinguishing between different oligo/polysialic acids. A murine monoclonal antibody mAb735 has a unique preference for longer polymers of polysialic acid (DP >10), yet the mechanism of recognition at the atomic level remains unclear. Here, we report the crystal structure of mAb735 single chain variable fragment (scFv735) in complex with octasialic acid at 1.8 Å resolution. In the asymmetric unit, two scFv735 molecules associate with one octasialic acid. In both complexes of the unit, all the complementarity-determining regions except for L3 interact with three consecutive sialic acid residues out of the eight. A striking feature of the complex is that 11 ordered water molecules bridge the gap between antibody and ligand, whereas the direct antibody-ligand interaction is less extensive. The dihedral angles of the trisialic acid unit directly interacting with scFv735 are not uniform, indicating that mAb735 does not strictly favor the previously proposed helical conformation. Importantly, both reducing and nonreducing ends of the bound ligand are completely exposed to solvent. We suggest that mAb735 gains its apparent high affinity for a longer polysialic acid chain by recognizing every three sialic acid units in a paired manner. 相似文献

Polysialic acid is associated with sodium channels and the neural cell adhesion molecule N-CAM in adult rat brain. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We have studied alpha 2,8-linked polysialic acid (polySia) and the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) in the adult rat brain by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis. Both molecules were widely distributed but not ubiquitous. Various brain regions showed colocalization of polySia and N-CAM. Strong immunoreactivity for polySia was seen in regions which were negative for N-CAM, such as the main and accessory olfactory bulbs. Immunohistochemical evidence for the heterogeneity of polySia expression in different brain regions was confirmed by immunoblotting. We present evidence that N-CAM is not the only polySia bearing protein in adult rat brain. Specifically, immunoprecipitation using the polySia-specific monoclonal antibody mAb 735 precipitated not only N-CAM isoforms carrying polySia, but also the sodium channel alpha subunit. Immunoblotting using sodium channel alpha subunit antibody (SP20) revealed a smear from 250 kDa upwards. PolySia removal using an endoneuraminidase specific for alpha 2,8-linked polysialic acid of 8 or more residues long, reduced this smear to a single band at 250 kDa. Thus both N-CAM and sodium channels carry homopolymers of alpha 2,8-linked polysialic acid in adult rat brain. 相似文献

A search for genes expressed in activated T cells revealed that the nonintegrin, 67-kDa laminin binding protein (p67 LBP) is expressed on the surface of a subset (10-15%) of activated peripheral blood T cells. Surface p67 LBP expression is detectable by FACS using the anti-p67 LBP mAb, MLuC5, within 6 h of T cell activation with phorbol dibutyrate and ionomycin, peaks 18-36 h postactivation, and persists for 7-10 days. The subset of T cells expressing p67 LBP is composed of mature, single-positive cells (85% CD4+8-, 15% CD4-8+) of memory cell phenotype (100% CD45 RO+/CD45 RA-). The p67 LBP+ T cells also express the integrin alpha6 chain (CD49f), which is known to associate with p67 LBP on tumor cells. In addition, the p67 LBP+ T cells express the integrin beta1, which associates with alpha6 in the laminin-specific integrin receptor very late activation Ag (VLA)-6 (alpha6beta1). Expression of an exogenous cDNA encoding the 37-kDa LBP precursor (p37 LBPP) confers p67 LBP surface expression on a p67 LBP-negative Jurkat T cell line (B2.7). Expression of p67 LBP induces B2.7 transfectants to adhere to laminin, but avid laminin binding depends on coexpression of VLA-6. Taken together, these data indicate that p67 LBP is an activation-induced surface structure on memory T cells that, together with VLA-6, mediates cellular adherence to laminin. 相似文献

We characterized the genetic defect of a capsule-deficient serogroup B meningococcal strain created by Tn916 mutagenesis. The transposon insertion interrupts a capsule biosynthesis gene, synX, which is involved in the production of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine, a precursor of the (alpha 2-->8)-linked polysialic acid capsule of serogroup B meningococci. 相似文献

Background
The assessment of anticancer agents to treat leukemia needs to have animal models closer to the human pathology such as implantation in immunodeficient mice of leukemic cells from patient samples. A sensitive and early detection of tumor cells in these orthotopic models is a prerequisite for monitoring engraftment of leukemic cells and their dissemination in mice. Therefore, we developed a fluorescent antibody based strategy to detect leukemic foci in mice bearing patient-derived leukemic cells using fluorescence reflectance imaging (FRI) to determine when to start treatments with novel antitumor agents.Methods
Two mAbs against the CD44 human myeloid marker or the CD45 human leukocyte marker were labeled with Alexa Fluor 750 and administered to leukemia-bearing mice after having verified the immunoreactivity in vitro. Bioluminescent leukemic cells (HL60-Luc) were used to compare the colocalization of the fluorescent mAb with these cells. The impact of the labeled antibodies on disease progression was further determined. Finally, the fluorescent hCD45 mAb was tested in mice engrafted with human leukemic cells.Results
The probe labeling did not modify the immunoreactivity of the mAbs. There was a satisfactory correlation between bioluminescence imaging (BLI) and FRI and low doses of mAb were sufficient to detect leukemic foci. However, anti-hCD44 mAb had a strong impact on the tumor proliferation contrary to anti-hCD45 mAb. The use of anti-hCD45 mAb allowed the detection of leukemic patient cells engrafted onto NOD/SCID mice.Conclusions
A mAb labeled with a near infrared fluorochrome is useful to detect leukemic foci in disseminated models provided that its potential impact on tumor proliferation has been thoroughly documented. 相似文献15.
Two calcium binding proteins, MRP-8 and MRP-14, are specifically synthesized in human myeloid cells. This paper shows that Me2SO, all-trans-retinoic acid (RA) and 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1 alpha,25(OH)2D3), but not 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (PMA) are potent inducers of MRP-8/14 protein complex in human leukemic cells. Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is shown to enhance the inductive effect of RA and 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3. We have examined the possibility that MRP expression is regulated through the protein kinase pathway. Both cytosolic and membrane-bound protein kinase C (PKC) activities increased during differentiation by RA and 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3. PMA-treatment led to a decrease of cytosolic PKC activity and an increase of membrane-bound PKC activity in the presence of these differentiation inducers, while PMA alone resulted in low cytosolic and high membrane-bound PKC activities. PKC inhibitor H7 inhibited MRP synthesis in HL-60 cells treated with RA and 1 alpha,25(OH)2D3. These results suggest that cytosolic PKC activity may be involved in a stimulatory pathway of MRP synthesis and that protein phosphorylation reactions may play important roles in MRP expression during myelocytic differentiation. 相似文献

The results presented here further characterize four murine monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that recognize melanoma-specific antigens (9B6, T97, 2-3-1 and 2-3-3). These melanoma-specific mAbs are of the IgG2b isotype and are significantly therapeutic when administered systemically against established pulmonary melanoma metastases. Here we show a consistent and significantly inhibition of the growth of melanoma lung metastases by all four mAbs and the existence of a time ‘window’ at days 5–8 after tumor inoculation for optimal therapy. Since these mAbs were found not to be cytotoxic or cytolytic in vitro, we looked for host immune response regulation as being responsible for the therapeutic effects. Natural killer (NK) cells were implication as one arm of the host immune system involved in this response since depletion of NK cells in vivo by αasialoGM1 or αNK1.1 antibodies partially abrogated the inhibitory effect of the mAbs. The observed antimetastatic effects could also be partially abrogated using antibodies directed against the T-cell subset surface markers, CD4+ and CD8+. Intramuscular melanoma tumor growth was also found to be suppressed by mAb 2-3-1, but only if administered in the area of tumor growth and only if multiple inoculations are administered over a 13-day period. The beneficial effect of mAb antimetastatic therapy was found to be useful against several syngeneic melanomas, including JB/MS, B16 and several sublines of the B16 F10 melanoma. 相似文献

Four monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to non-human primate hemoglobin referred to as Cap-4, Cap-5, Rh-2, and Rh-4, and two mAb to human hemoglobin, referred to as H-1 and H-3 were isolated and were partially characterized. Binding studies with these mAb on a panel of hemoglobins and isolated alpha and beta globin chains revealed a unique reactivity pattern for each mAb. Amino acid sequence analysis of the antigens used to generate the binding data suggests that the specific recognition of certain hemoglobin antigens by each mAb is controlled by the presence of a particular amino acid at a specific position within the epitope. The use of synthetic peptides as antigens confirmed this observation for five of the mAb. No synthetic peptides were tested with the sixth mAb, Rh-2. The amino acids required for binding of mAb Cap-4, Cap-5, Rh-4, and Rh-2 to hemoglobin are alanine at beta 5, threonine at beta 13, glutamine at beta 125, and leucine at alpha 68. The non-human primate hemoglobin antibodies require a specific amino acid that is not present in human hemoglobin. The amino acid required for binding of Cap-4, Cap-5, and Rh-4 could arise by a single base change in the beta globin gene, whereas the amino acid required for Rh-2 binding would only occur if two base changes occurred. Thus these mAb are candidate probes for a somatic cell mutation assay on the basis of the detection of peripheral blood red cells that possess single amino acid substituted hemoglobin as a result of single base substitutions in the globin genes of precursor cells. 相似文献

Here we characterize the properties and expression pattern of Siglec-9 (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin-9), a new member of the Siglec subgroup of the immunoglobulin superfamily. A full-length cDNA encoding Siglec-9 was isolated from a dibutyryl cAMP-treated HL-60 cell cDNA library. Siglec-9 is predicted to contain three extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains that comprise an N-terminal V-set domain and two C2-set domains, a transmembrane region and a cytoplasmic tail containing two putative tyrosine-based signaling motifs. Overall, Siglec-9 is approximately 80% identical in amino acid sequence to Siglec-7, suggesting that the genes encoding these two proteins arose relatively recently by gene duplication. Binding assays showed that, similar to Siglec-7, Siglec-9 recognized sialic acid in either the alpha2,3- or alpha2, 6-glycosidic linkage to galactose. Using a specific mAb, Siglec-9 was found to be expressed at high or intermediate levels by monocytes, neutrophils, and a minor population of CD16(+), CD56(-) cells. Weaker expression was observed on approximately 50% of B cells and NK cells and minor subsets of CD8(+) T cells and CD4(+) T cells. These results show that despite their high degree of sequence similarity, Siglec-7 and Siglec-9 have distinct expression profiles. 相似文献

Characterization of binding of four monoclonal antibodies to the human ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line HEY 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Four mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAb) (10B, IgG1; 8C, IgG2a; M2A, IgG2a; M2D, IgG2b) were characterized with respect to their binding to the ovarian adenocarcinoma cell line HEY, using displacement assays and Scatchard plot analyses. The four mAb reacted with different antigens on the surface of HEY cells, with affinity constants ranging from 1 X 10(9) to 3 X 10(9) M-1. The number of binding sites per cell for each antibody was approximately 2 X 10(4). mAb 8C and M2D remained associated with the cell surface following binding to their respective antigens, while mAb 10B was rapidly internalized, with 50% of the bound mAb being lost from the cell surface during 4 h of incubation at 37 degrees C. These different binding characteristics of the mAb may influence their ability to target radioactivity and cytotoxic drugs to HEY cells. 相似文献

GMP-140 is a rapidly inducible receptor for neutrophils and monocytes expressed on activated platelets and endothelial cells. It is a member of the selectin family of lectin-like cell surface molecules that mediate leukocyte adhesion. We used a radioligand binding assay to characterize the interaction of purified GMP-140 with human neutrophils. Unstimulated neutrophils rapidly bound [125I]GMP-140 at 4 degrees C, reaching equilibrium in 10-15 min. Binding was Ca2+ dependent, reversible, and saturable at 3-6 nM free GMP-140 with half-maximal binding at approximately 1.5 nM. Receptor density and apparent affinity were not altered when neutrophils were stimulated with 4 beta-phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Treatment of neutrophils with proteases abolished specific binding of [125I]GMP-140. Binding was also diminished when neutrophils were treated with neuraminidase from Vibrio cholerae, which cleaves alpha 2-3-, alpha 2-6-, and alpha 2-8-linked sialic acids, or from Newcastle disease virus, which cleaves only alpha 2-3- and alpha 2-8-linked sialic acids. Binding was not inhibited by an mAb to the abundant myeloid oligosaccharide, Lex (CD15), or by the neoglycoproteins Lex-BSA and sialyl-Lex-BSA. We conclude that neutrophils constitutively express a glycoprotein receptor for GMP-140, which contains sialic acid residues that are essential for function. These findings support the concept that GMP-140 interacts with leukocytes by a lectin-like mechanism. 相似文献
