The hybridoma producing monoclonal antibody (IgG1) to human angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) has been prepared by fusion of murine myeloma P3O1 with spleen cells of BALB/c mice immunised with a purified human lung ACE preparation. A high specificity of monoclonal antibody (MAb) binding to immobilized ACE has been demonstrated by ELISA; that of soluble ACE--by immunoadsorption test. The latter technique permits the use of impure ACE preparations for the screening procedure. This MAb did not effect ACE activity. This antibody is believed useful not only for immunoassay and immunopurification of ACE, but also as a tool for investigation of enzyme distribution in tissue as well as for studying the structure and mechanism of ACE action. 相似文献

The localization of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in human tissues has been studied by the PAP-method with the use of monoclonal antibody 9 B9 against human lung ACE. The enzyme was detected on the surface of endothelial cells in lung, myocardium, liver, intestine and testis as well as in the epithelial cells of the kidney proximal tubules and intestine. The monoclonal antibody 9 B9 did not react with ACE in the epithelial cells of the testis seminiferous tubules. These data suggest that the antibody 9 B9 recognizes epitope which is shared by the ACE molecule of endothelial cells and renal and intestinal epithelial cells but is not present in testicular ACE, or is not accessible there to the antibody. 相似文献

The artificial chromosome expression (ACE) technology system uses an engineered artificial chromosome containing multiple site-specific recombination acceptor sites for the rapid and efficient construction of stable cell lines. The construction of Chinese hamster ovary(CHO) cell lines expressing an IgG1 monoclonal antibody (MAb) using the ACE system has been previously described (Kennard et al., Biotechnol Bioeng. 2009;104:540-553). To further demonstrate the manufacturing feasibility of the ACE system, four CHO cell lines expressing the human IgG1 MAb 4A1 were evaluated in batch and fed-batch shake flasks and in a 2-L fed-batch bioreactor. The batch shake flasks achieved titers between 0.7 and 1.1 g/L, whereas the fed-batch shake flask process improved titers to 2.5–3.0 g/L. The lead 4A1 ACE cell line achieved titers of 4.0 g/L with an average specific productivity of 40 pg/(cell day) when cultured in a non optimized 2-L fed-batch bioreactor using a completely chemically defined process. Generational stability characterization of the lead 4A1-expressing cell line demonstrated that the cell line was stable for up to 75 days in culture. Product quality attributes of the 4A1 MAb produced by the ACE system during the stability evaluation period were unchanged and also comparable to existing expression technologies such as the CHO-dhfr system. The results of this evaluation demonstrate that a clonal, stable MAb-expressing CHO cell line can be produced using ACE technology that performs competitively using a chemically defined fed-batch bioreactor process with comparable product quality attributes to cell lines generated by existing technologies. 相似文献

Mouse hybridomas were prepared by fusing myelomas and spleen cells from mice immunized with purified rat 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies against 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase were selected by indirect enzyme-linked immunoassay and then subcloned by limiting dilution. From two mice we have obtained four positive hybridomas, three secreting high affinity immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 and one secreting IgM. Only two of these monoclonal antibodies (MAbs 3G6 and 7D3, both IgG1) recognized denatured enzyme and, therefore, were used for further immunoblotting experiments. MAb 7D3 recognized a structurally related mouse enzyme, but not the human enzyme, whereas monoclonal antibody 3G6 recognized a human enzyme, but not the mouse enzyme. When these two monoclonal antibodies were used in immunoblotting to survey the expression of 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in rat liver and a number of other tissues, striking differences were found in the protein band patterns in kidney, lung, and testis. Both MAbs 7D3 and 3G6 recognized 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, a 34-kDa 7D3 recognized a protein of the same size as the liver protein, whereas MAb 3G6 recognized a 34-kDa protein plus another protein of 36 kDa. In kidney only MAb 3G6, but not MAb 7D3, recognized a 34-kDa protein. Conversely, the 34-kDa protein in testis was recognized by MAb 7D3, but not by MAb 3G6. These findings suggest the existence of multiple antigenically related proteins in different tissues. 相似文献

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) EC 2.5.2.18) catalyzes conjugation of reduced glutathione with hydrophobic substrates, such as S-epoxide active molecules. It participates in glutathione metabolism and the gamma-glutamyl cycle, playing an important role in detoxification and biosynthesis of many compounds. It is also known as a marker of pre-neoplasia in chemical hepatocarcinogenesis. Isoelectric focusing studies have revealed that this enzyme is composed of several isozymes, one of which, an acidic form of GST called GST-pi, has been extracted from human placenta. In this study, we prepared monoclonal antibodies (MAb) against human GST-pi from placenta. Specificity was confirmed by immunoblots of GST-pi after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and inhibition testing of enzyme activity by the antibody. The subclass of the antibody was IgG1 and the light chain was kappa. In light microscopic immunohistochemical studies of human placenta using the MAb, GST-pi was localized diffusely in the cytoplasm and along the apical cell membranes of syncytial cells in villi and in the cytoplasm of cytotrophoblastic cells in the basal plate. The MAb we prepared may also be useful for analyzing the enzyme's function in detoxification and biosynthesis of many compounds, as well as for oncological studies, such as diagnosis of malignant disease and localization of oncofetal proteins in malignant tissues. 相似文献

To investigate the effects of factors secreted by different cell lines on human monoclonal antibody (MAb) integrity, 600 mg of a human MAb, which specifically binds to human erythrocytes, were produced in a perfusion process. After purification by protein A affinity chromatography, the MAb was used for integrity testing in supernatants of several cell lines to investigate their potential to degrade the antibody in the extracellular environment. One insect cell line (IPLB-SF-21 AE) and four mammalian cell lines [CHO K1, BHK-21 (C13), C1271, P3-X63-Ag8.653], all of them commonly used for the production of recombinant proteins, and the human-human-mouse heterohybridoma cell line itself (H-CB-hahE), were adapted to serum-free culture media. For integrity testing all cell lines were cultivated in spinner flasks using serum-free media supplemented with 30 mug mL(-1) of purified MAb. MAb integrity was assayed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), isoelectric focusing, both followed by Western blotting, and an antigen binding assay. None of the mammalian cells showed any detectable effects on antibody stability and integrity during exponential growth, whereas isoelectric focusing of monoclonal antibody taken from IPLB-SF-21 AE culture supernatants revealed a new band indicating a partial modification of the MAb by secreted factors of these cells. This observation did not correlate with the total proteolytic activity, which was measured in all supernatants and found to be lowest in the insest cell cultures. For mammalian cell cultures, it could be concluded from these findings that shifts of the antibody microheterogeneity pattern, which can be found normally as a result of variations in different production parameters, are not caused by extracellular factors once the product has been secreted into the supernatant. In addition to their well-known advantages in posttranslational modifications (e.g., formation of complex type N-glycans), mammalian cells appear to be more suitable as expression systems for human monoclonal antibodies to be used in vivo when compared with baculovirus-infected insect cells.

Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE, peptidyl dipeptidase, EC 3.4.15.2) is a key enzyme in cardiovascular pathophysiology. A wide spectrum of monoclonal antibodies to different epitopes on the N and C domains of human ACE has been used to study different aspects of ACE biology. In this study we characterized the monoclonal antibody (mAb) 5F1, developed against the N domain of human ACE, which recognizes both the catalytically active and the denatured forms of ACE. The epitope for mAb 5F1 was defined using species cross-reactivity, synthetic peptide (PepScan technology) and phage display library screening, Western blotting, site-directed mutagenesis, and protein modeling. The epitope for mAb 5F1 shows no overlap with the epitopes of seven other mAbs to the N domain described previously and is localized on the other side of the N domain globule. The binding of mAb 5F1 to ACE is carbohydrate-dependent and increased significantly as a result of altered glycosylation after treatment with alpha-glucosidase-1 inhibitor, N-butyldeoxynojirimycin (NB-DNJ), or neuraminidase. Out of 17 species tested, mAb 5F1 showed strict primate ACE specificity. In addition, mAb 5F1 recognized human ACE in Western blots and on paraffin-embedded sections. The sequential part of the epitope for mAb 5F1 is created by the N-terminal part of the N domain, between residues 1 and 141. A conformational region of the epitope was also identified, including the residues around the glycan attached to Asn117, which explains the sensitivity to changes in glycosylation state, and another stretch localized around the motif 454TPPSRYN460. Site-directed mutagensis and inhibition assays revealed that mAb 5F1 inhibits ACE activity at high concentrations due to binding of residues on both sides of the active site cleft, thus supporting a hinge-bending mechanism for substrate binding of ACE. 相似文献

Murine monoclonal antibodies (MAb) are currently being assessed for their utility as tools in cancer management. Anti-murine immunoglobulin responses have been observed in many patients receiving monoclonal antibody treatment. In this study, we evaluated the response of primates to the administration of a monoclonal antibody. MAb B6.2, an antibody generated against a human breast tumor metastasis, was used as a prototype MAb. Baboons were inoculated with MAb B6.2 whole IgG, Fab', or F(ab')2 fragments. Blood samples were drawn at periodic intervals post-inoculation and the sera collected. Anti-murine immunoglobulin responses were detected using a solid-phase radioimmunoassay. The specificity of the antibody response was analyzed to determine if the response was directed against the species of origin of the MAb (species specificity), against the class of the MAb (isotype specificity), or against the hypervariable region of the MAb (idiotype specificity). We found that primates develop a humoral immune response against all three forms of the monoclonal antibody [IgG, Fab', and F(ab')2]. Furthermore, this antibody response demonstrated a high degree of specificity for the antigen binding site suggesting an idiotypic specificity. Using a competitive radioimmunoassay, the antibody response was found to interfere with antigen binding of MAb B6.2. These studies suggest that monoclonal antibody treatment can generate an anti-idiotypic response which may alter the efficacy of this mode of treatment. 相似文献

Role of cytochrome P450 IA2 in acetanilide 4-hydroxylation as determined with cDNA expression and monoclonal antibodies 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The role of P450 IA2 in the hydroxylation of acetanilide was examined using an inhibitory monoclonal antibody (MAb) 1-7-1 and vaccinia cDNA expression producing murine P450 IA1 (mIA1), murine P450 IA2 (mIA2), or human P450 IA2 (hIA2). Acetanilide hydroxylase (AcOH) activity was measured using an HPLC method with more than 500-fold greater sensitivity than previously described procedures. This method, which does not require the use of radioactive acetanilide, was achieved by optimizing both the gradient system and the amount of enzyme needed to achieve detection by uv light. MAb 1-7-1 inhibits up to 80% of the AcOH activity in both rat liver microsomes and cDNA expressed mouse and human P450 IA2. MAb 1-7-1, which recognizes both P450 IA1 and P450 IA2, completely inhibits the aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH) activity of cDNA expressed in IA1. The inhibition of only 80% of the AHH activity present in MC liver microsomes by MAb 1-7-1 suggests that additional P450 forms are contributing to the overall AHH activity present in methylcholanthrene (MC)-liver microsomes as MAb 1-7-1 almost completely inhibits the AHH activity of expressed mIA1. Maximal inhibition of IA2 by 1-7-1 results in an 80% decrease in acetanilide hydroxylase activity in both liver microsomes and expressed mouse and human IA2. The capacity of MAb 1-7-1 to produce identical levels of inhibition of acetanilide hydroxylase activity in rat MC microsomes (80%) and in expressed mouse (81%) and human P450 IA2 (80%) strongly suggests that P450 IA2 is the major and perhaps the only enzyme responsible for the metabolism of acetanilide. These results demonstrate the complementary utility of monoclonal antibodies and cDNA expression for defining the contribution of specific P450 enzymes to the metabolism of a given substrate. This complementary approach allows for a more precise determination of the inhibitory capacity of MAb with respect to the metabolic capacity of the target P450. 相似文献

Functional characterization of 102-amino acid-deleted form of human aromatase (delta102-aromatase). 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A truncate form of human aromatase cDNA that corresponds to the recently identified rat cortical type aromatase mRNA variant (Yamada-Mouri et al., J. Steroid Biochem. Molec. Biol., 60: 325-329, 1997) has been generated, and the amino-terminus deleted form of the enzyme has been expressed in CHO cells. The resulting product lacking 102 residues from the N-terminus of aromatase (i.e. 102-aromatase) showed an extremely low enzyme activity using an 'In-cell' assay. A strong aromatase activity, however, was observed for the delta102-aromatase using an in vitro method on the solublized preparations. The in vitro activity was dependent on both incubation time and NADPH concentration as well as inclusion of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase in the assay mixture. The average turnover rate of aromatization of the reconstituted delta102-aromatase was 6.8 min(-1). The results of the immunosuppression assay suggested that delta102-aromatase still holds the epitope interactive to MAb3-2C2, a monoclonal antibody raised agaist human placental aromatase P450. Furthermore, the IC50 values of MAb3-2C2 were determined to be 24 and 23 microg/ml for the whole homogenate and the 105,000 x g precipitate fractions prepared from the truncated aromatase expressing cells, respectively, whereas an IC50 of 1.3 microg/ml was shown for the full-length human aromatase. These results indicate that the delta102-aromatase P450 can be expressed and is catalytically competent as the full-length enzyme, but the epitope structure for the monoclonal antibody MAb3-2C2 is altered from that of the native enzyme. In addition, the intracellular distribution of delta102-aromatase may be different from that of the wild-type enzyme, explaining why very low activity was measured using an 'In-cell' assay. 相似文献

Enterovirus 70 (EV70) is a recently emerged human pathogen belonging to the family Picornaviridae. The ability of EV70 to infect a wide variety of nonprimate cell lines in vitro is unique among human enteroviruses. The importance of virus receptors as determinants of viral host range and tropism led us to study the host cell receptor for this unusual picornavirus. We produced a monoclonal antibody (MAb), EVR1, which bound to the surface of HeLa cells and protected them against infection by EV70 but not by poliovirus or by coxsackievirus B3. This antibody also inhibited the binding of [35S]EV70 to HeLa cells. MAb EVR1 did not bind to monkey kidney (LLC-MK2) cells, nor did it protect these cells against virus infection. In Western immunoassays and in immunoprecipitations, MAb EVR1 identified a HeLa cell glycoprotein of approximately 75 kDa that is attached to the cell membrane by a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor. Decay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55) is a 70- to 75-kDa GPI-anchored membrane protein that is involved in the regulation of complement and has also been shown to function as a receptor for several enteroviruses. MAb EVR1 bound to Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells constitutively expressing human DAF. Anti-DAF MAbs inhibited EV70 binding to HeLa cells and protected them against EV70 infection. Transient expression of human DAF in murine NIH 3T3 cells resulted in binding of labelled EV70 and stably, transformed NIH 3T3 cells expressing DAF were able to support virus replication. These data indicate that the HeLa cell receptor for EV70 is DAF. 相似文献

The 528 murine monoclonal antibody (MAb) to the human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was sequentially cationized with hexamethylenediamine and conjugated with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) as a potential antibody radiopharmaceutical for imaging EGFR-expressing cancer. The cationized 528 MAb was characterized with isoelectric focusing and electrophoresis, and an immunoradiometric assay, which showed the affinity of the 528 MAb for the human EGFR was retained following cationization. The native or cationized 528 MAb, labeled with (111)In, was injected intravenously in scid mice bearing human U87 flank tumors, which express the EGFR, and tumor imaging was performed with both external detection in live animals and with whole body autoradiography. However, the tumor signal was not increased with the cationized MAb, relative to the native MAb, and this was due to a serum inhibition phenomenon that was confirmed by a pharmacokinetics analysis in control mice. In an attempt to block the serum inhibition, the cationized 528 MAb was pegylated with 2000 Da poly(ethylene glycol), and the cationized/pegylated MAb was conjugated with DTPA and labeled with (111)In. However, a pharmacokinetics analysis showed the pegylation did not reverse the serum inhibition of the cationic charge on the MAb. These studies describe methods for reformulating monoclonal antibodies to develop improved radiopharmaceuticals, but show that radiolabeling a cationized MAb with DTPA produces a serum neutralization of the initial cationization modification. 相似文献

Among nonneutralizing HIV-1 envelope antibodies (Abs), those capable of mediating antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) activity have been postulated to be important for control of HIV-1 infection. ADCC-mediating Ab must recognize HIV-1 antigens expressed on the membrane of infected cells and bind the Fcγ receptor (FcR) of the effector cell population. However, the precise targets of serum ADCC antibody are poorly characterized. The human monoclonal antibody (MAb) A32 is a nonneutralizing antibody isolated from an HIV-1 chronically infected person. We investigated the ability of MAb A32 to recognize HIV-1 envelope expressed on the surface of CD4(+) T cells infected with primary and laboratory-adapted strains of HIV-1, as well as its ability to mediate ADCC activity. The MAb A32 epitope was expressed on the surface of HIV-1-infected CD4(+) T cells earlier than the CD4-inducible (CD4i) epitope bound by MAb 17b and the gp120 carbohydrate epitope bound by MAb 2G12. Importantly, MAb A32 was a potent mediator of ADCC activity. Finally, an A32 Fab fragment blocked the majority of ADCC-mediating Ab activity in plasma of subjects chronically infected with HIV-1. These data demonstrate that the epitope defined by MAb A32 is a major target on gp120 for plasma ADCC activity. 相似文献

A new monoclonal antibody designated FO23C5 against a protein component of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) has been developed. A xenograft system of human colon cancer was used to compare the intact monoclonal IgG with its fragments (Fab')2 and Fab) and with an established anti-CEA antibody (MAb35) and the antibody AUA1 raised against the colon carcinoma cell line. We demonstrate that FO23C5 compares well with the existing anti-CEA antibody and with AUA1, and that F(ab')2 fragments perform best in achieving optimal tumour to normal tissue ratios compared with intact IgG and Fab fragment. 相似文献

Inhibition of human tumor growth by IgG2A monoclonal antibodies correlates with antibody density on tumor cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Eight monoclonal antibodies (MAb) of IgG2a isotype that were produced against human melanomas were tested for tumor growth-inhibiting properties in nude mice injected with human melanoma cells of various origins. Four of the eight MAb inhibited growth of these tumors, and all four of these antibodies reacted in antibody-dependent macrophage-mediated cytotoxicity (ADMC) assays in vitro. The MAb that were inactive in vivo also did not react in these assays in vitro. The number of antibody-binding sites per cell on the tumor cell surface was significantly higher for tumoricidal MAb as compared to unreactive MAb. On the other hand, the percentage of tumor cells binding the MAb and the binding affinity to these cells were the same for the two groups of MAb. Also, tumoricidal and nontumoricidal MAb bound with similar affinity and antibody density to Fc receptors on macrophages. The importance of the number of antibody sites on the tumor cell surface for tumor destruction by MAb was confirmed by the demonstration of tumoricidal effects of mixtures of MAb that were by themselves not tumoricidal. MAb binding to different molecules on melanoma cells were complementary in ADMC, whereas MAb directed to the same molecule but to different epitopes were not. 相似文献

Animal cell perfusion high density culture is often adopted for the production of biologicals in industry. In high density culture sometimes the productivity of biologicals has been found to be enhanced. Especially in immobilized animal cell culture, significant increase in the productivity has been reported. We have found that the specific monoclonal antibody (MAb) productivity of an immobilized hybridoma cell is enhanced more than double. Several examples of enhancing productivities have been also shown by collagen immobilized cells. Immobilized cells involve some different points from non-immobilized cells in high density culture: In immobilized culture, some cells are contacted together, resulting in locally much higher cell concentration more than 108 cells/ml. Information originating from a cell can be easily transduced to the others in immobilized culture because the distance between cells is much nearer. Here we have performed collagen gel immobilized culture of recombinant BHK cells which produce a human IgG monoclonal antibody in a protein-free medium for more than three months. In this high density culture a stabilized monoclonal antibody production was found with around 8 times higher specific monoclonal antibody productivity compared with that in a batch serum containing culture. No higher MAb productivity was observed using a conditioned medium which was obtained from the high density culture, indicating that no components secreted from the immobilized cells work for enhancing monoclonal antibody production. The MAb productivity by the non-immobilized cells obtained by dissolving collagen using a collagenase gradually decreased and returned to the original level in the batch culture using a fresh medium. This suggests that the direct contact of the cells or a very close distance between the cells has something to do with the enhancement of the MAb productivity, and the higher productivity is kept for a while in each cell after they are drawn apart. 相似文献

As the final enzyme in the coagulation cascade, activated fibrin stabilizing factor or factor XIII catalyzes the intermolecular cross-linking of fibrin chains. To study this enzyme in plasma, we derived a monoclonal antibody (MAb 309) against a peptide sequence (NH2-G-V-N-L-Q-E-F-C-COOH) in the thrombin activation site of factor XIII. Radioimmunoassays indicate that MAb 309 binds specifically to both platelet and plasma factor XIII. Peptide inhibition studies demonstrate that the MAb binds equally well to the factor XIII (FXIII) zymogen and the active form of FXIII (FXIIIa). In immunoblots of whole platelet lysates, MAb 309 binds only to FXIII and does not cross-react with other proteins. In saturation binding studies, the antibody shows a binding avidity of (1.75 +/- 0.35) x 10(9) M-1. MAb 309 also inhibited 99% of apparent FXIIIa activity in a standard transglutaminase assay. SDS-PAGE analysis of fibrin clots showed that MAb 309 inhibited fibrin gamma-gamma cross-linking. Moreover, MAb 309 accelerated the lysis of plasma clots, consistent with inhibition of fibrin-fibrin and fibrin-alpha 2-antiplasmin cross-linking. Immunoblotting experiments revealed that MAb 309 affected apparent FXIIIa activity by inhibiting the thrombin activation of the FXIII zymogen. In addition to its utility as a specific probe for the FXIII a-subunit, the strategy used to obtain MAb 309 may be used to generate MAbs that inhibit the activation of other coagulation factor zymogens. 相似文献

We have shown that a monoclonal antibody to the cell surface adhesion molecule LFA-1 (CD18/CD11a) enhances plasma neutralization of a laboratory isolate (HIVMN) and a primary isolate (HIV28R) of human immunodeficiency virus type 1. Human phytohemagglutinin blasts were infected with HIVMN or HIV28R in the presence of plasma pooled from HIV-positive individuals (AIDS plasma) or immunoglobulin G from AIDS plasma alone or combined with a monoclonal antibody (MAb) to LFA-1. While AIDS plasma alone at a dilution of 1:1,250 neutralized HIVMN and HIV28R infection by 15 and 0%, respectively, in the presence of a saturating concentration of the MAb to LFA-1 the plasma neutralized both viruses by more than 80% at this dilution. Immunoglobulin G purified from AIDS plasma, when used in combination with the MAb to LFA-1, showed the same synergistic effect in HIV neutralization as seen with the AIDS plasma and anti-LFA-1. The MAb against LFA-1 partially neutralized both viral isolates (45 to 55%) on its own. These results demonstrate significant synergy between the plasma and antibody against LFA-1 in the neutralization of HIV. The observations therefore suggest an important role for adhesion molecules in HIV infectivity and transmission. The results have implications for the recently observed host effect on HIV susceptibility to antibody neutralization. 相似文献
