Immunoglobulin G (IgG) fractions prepared from three different batches of rabbit antihuman thyrotropin (hTSH) antisera were fractionated by agarose isoelectric focusing (IEF) in the pH ranges 3 to 10 and 5 to 8. Staining of protein in agarose gel after IEF showed that polyclonal IgG separated into more than 20 protein bands with isoelectric points (pIs) ranging from 6 to 9. The clonotype antibodies to hTSH were recovered from the fractions and subjected to radioimmunoassay for determination of the binding-affinity for hTSH and the cross-reactivity with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). The affinity constants of the antibodies recovered ranged from 6.4 X 10(9) M-1 to 3.1 X 10(10) M-1, and the cross-reactivities of the clonotype antibodies differed greatly. A good correlation was observed between the pIs of antibody molecules and their cross-reactivities: antibodies with higher pIs bound hCG more strongly than those with lower pIs. The correlation coefficients between the pIs and cross-reactivities were 0.83, 0.84, and 0.87 in three batches of antibody.  相似文献

Hybridoma cell lines secreting antibodies for vitamin D3 metabolites have been generated by fusing splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with 3 beta-glutaryl-25-hydroxyvitamin D3 conjugated to bovine serum albumin (3 beta-glu-25-OH-D3-BSA) and Sp2/O-Ag14 myeloma cells. Purification of monoclonal antibodies from culture media or ascites fluids was accomplished by procedures including affinity chromatography on Protein A-Sepharose 4B. Each monoclonal antibody was analyzed as to its affinity and specificity by equilibrium dialysis and an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) based on a double antibody system. It was demonstrated that clone 1C2-60 produced an antibody highly specific to 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol), and the clone 2B3-66 antibody was reactive to 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 and similar structural compounds. These two monoclonal antibodies produced by 1C2-60 and 2B3-66 were determined to belong to the IgG2a class, and their affinity constants (Ka) with 3 beta-glu-25-OH-D3 were demonstrated to be 3.6 X 10(9) M-1 and 2.9 X 10(9) M-1, respectively, at 4 degrees C. The characteristics of these monoclonal antibodies were compared with those of conventional antibodies raised in mice and rabbits. Finally, by using monoclonal antibody 1C2-60, a sensitive EIA has been developed that can detect 10 pg of calcitriol.  相似文献

Two rabbits (TG-1, TG-2) were immunized with human thyroglobulin (HTg) and bled serially. Antisera were obtained at different times after the first immunization and kept separately and studied. In both rabbits production of anti-HTg, and anti-thyroid hormone antibodies such as anti-thyroxine (T4) and anti-triiodothyronine (T3) antibodies was observed. Binding parameters of anti-HTg antibodies with HTg, T4, and T3 were calculated in two selected antisera (70-day and 249-day). The Scatchard's plots of these antibodies were all curve-linear and were analyzed in two components: one, higher binding constant (Ka1) and smaller binding capacity (Cap1) and the other, lower binding constant (Ka2) and larger binding capacity (Cap2). Ka1 values of anti-HTg, anti-T4, and anti-T3 antibodies in sera from TG-1 obtained from 70-day and 249-day bleeding were 1.1 X 10(10) M-1, 6.0 X 10(9) M-1. 7.9 X 10(8) M-1 and 1.7 X 10(10) M-1, 6.5 X 10(9) M-1, 1.0 X 10(9) M-1, respectively. Those from TG-2 were 1.7 X 10(10) M-1, 1.8 X 10(9) M-1, 6.4 X 10(8) M-1 and 2.0 X 10(10) M-1, 3.1 X 10(9) M-1, 1.6 X 10(9) M-1, respectively. The significance of the production of anti-HTg and anti-thyroid hormone antibodies in rabbits immunized with HTg in relation to the antigenic structure of HTg molecule was discussed.  相似文献

The number of populations of antibodies differing in their affinity for insulin was determined in guinea pig antiserum. The antibody fractions differing in their affinity were obtained by affinity chromatography on an antigenic sorbent. Elution with a stepwise pH gradient from 4 to 2 differing in the number and form of the steps resulted in 10 fractions of antibodies obtained from individual animal sera. The binding constants of fractionated antibodies were determined by a bioluminescent immunocofactor method. With a change in elution pH from 4 to 2, the equilibrious binding constant of antibodies increased from 10(6) to 5 X 10(9) M-1.  相似文献

Using solid phase systems, the kinetics of binding of monoclonal antibody (LRB 45, IgG2b,kappa) to apoC-I and apoC-I on lipoproteins were investigated. At 25 degrees C, the association constant of LRB 45 antibody to apoC-I (3.56 X 10(6) M-1 X sec-1) was almost three times slower than the association constant LRB 45 antibody to lipoproteins (10.4 X 10(6) M-1 X sec-1). However, the dissociation constant of apoC-I from LRB 45 antibody (0.865 X 10(-4) sec-1) was also slower than the dissociation constant of lipoprotein from antibody (1.5 X 10(-4) sec-1). Thus, the calculated affinity constant (association constant/dissociation constant) of LRB 45 antibody for apoC-I was approximately half of that for lipoproteins (4.12 X 10(10) M-1 vs. 6.92 X 10(10) M-1). The intrinsic affinity constants for antibody binding to apoC-I and apoC-I on lipoproteins were determined by Scatchard analysis. The intrinsic affinity constant of antibody bound to apoC-I was estimated to be 5.49 X 10(10) M-1 whereas that of antibody binding to lipoproteins was 30 to 200 times less. Furthermore, ascites fluid from LRB 45 cell lines could immunoprecipitate serum lipoproteins. Thus, it is concluded that there is multiple binding of antibody to apoC-I on lipoproteins. This binding appears to increase the calculated affinity constant (avidity) for antibody-antigen interaction.  相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies to human liver ferritin were generated by an improved hybridoma technique using a semisolid medium containing methylcellulose for initial cloning after the cell fusion. Out of more than 1000 hybrid clones, only 1 was shown to secrete high-affinity monoclonal antibodies to human liver ferritin. The immunoglobulin subclass of this antibody was determined to be IgG2. The association constant between liver ferritin and this antibody was determined to be greater than 1 X 10(10) M-1. Due to the oligomeric nature of ferritin, this antibody can be simultaneously utilized as the first and second antibody in solid-phase sandwich immunoradiometric and enzyme immunoassays. This immunoassay procedure can be performed within 30-45 min and has a sensitivity of about 1 ng/ml. Under identical assay conditions, ferritin isolated from human spleen and human heart gave 50 and 30% cross-reactivity, respectively.  相似文献

A case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) associated with Sj?gren's syndrome had extremely low serum triiodothyronine (T3) with normal levels of serum thyroxine (T4) measured by single antibody radioimmunoassays (RIAs) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) during steroid treatment. Measurement of serum T3 and T4 with double antibody RIAs showed unusually high T3 and normal T4 concentrations. Examination of her serum revealed the presence of IgG class anti-T3 autoantibodies whose Scatchard plot was analyzed in two components; one with a higher associate constant (8.6 X 10(8)M-1) and a lower binding capacity (5.6 X 10(-7) mol/ml serum); the other a lower associate constant (3.5 X 10(7)M-1) and a higher binding capacity (2.1 X 10(-6) mol/ml serum). Antithyroglobulin (Tg) autoantibody has been positive throughout the seven year observation period. A significant positive correlation between titers of anti-Tg autoantibodies indicated that the antigen of anti-T3 antibodies in the patient could be T3 containing antigenic site(s) on the Tg molecule.  相似文献

Six different monoclonal antibodies directed against prostaglandin E2 were obtained from hybrid myelomas, following fusion of mouse NS-1 myeloma cells with spleen cells from a rat immunized with bovine serum albumin conjugates of prostaglandin E2. Four of them were of the IgG2a subclass and the other two were an IgG2b and an IgG2c. Affinities of antibodies for prostaglandin E2 were in the range 5.8 X 10(6)-6.7 X 10(8) M-1. Cross-reactivity experiments showed that one monoclonal antibody was directed almost exclusively against the prostaglandin E structure. The specific monoclonal antibody purified from ascites fluid was used for enzyme immunoassay, and as little as 30 pg of prostaglandin E1 and 100 pg of prostaglandin E2 were detected, which values are comparable to those obtained by radioimmunoassay. These results reveal that the hybridization technique is a reliable way to obtain prostaglandin E-specific antibody and that monoclonal antibodies can be valuable reagents for immunoassays.  相似文献

Using the antigens testosterone-17 beta-hemisuccinate and testosterone-3-(o-carboxymethyl) oxime, each coupled to bovine serum albumin, we have produced 44 monoclonal antibodies to testosterone. Of the 17 monoclonal antibodies raised against the 17 beta-linked antigen 8 showed extremely low affinity for testosterone (Ka less than or equal to 8 X 10(7) M-1) and none had an affinity greater than 5 X 10(9) M-1. Of the 27 monoclonal antibodies raised against the 3-linked antigen 2 had affinities less than 8 X 10(7) M, 7 had affinities greater than 5 X 10(9) M-1 and one had an affinity (Ka = 9 X 10(10) M-1) greater than that of a high affinity rabbit antiserum (Ka = 6 X 10(10) M-1). The affinity constant (Ka = 5 X 10(9) M-1) measured in the serum of the mouse whose spleen gave rise to the greatest number of high affinity antibodies, was significantly higher than those measured in the sera of the remaining mice (Ka = 0.7 - 3 X 10(8) M-1). The cross-reactions of the monoclonal antibodies varied widely but none showed an overall improvement in specificity when compared with the corresponding rabbit antisera. Results suggest that as well as the structure of the steroid antigen careful selection of the spleen donor facilitates the development of monoclonal antibodies with good binding characteristics.  相似文献

Previous reports described the properties of a high affinity (Ka = 1.7 X 10(10) M-1) prototype anti-fluorescein monoclonal antibody 4-4-20, an intermediate affinity (Ka = 3.7 X 10(7) M-1) prototype 9-40, and Ig members of the 9-40 idiotype family (comprised of 3-24, 5-14, 5-27, 10-25 and 12-40). Although the seven monoclonal anti-fluorescein antibodies expressed similar active site structural determinants (idiotypes) as determined serologically, each was characterized by different affinities for fluorescein and fine specificity binding patterns. Partial heavy (H)- and light (L)-chain N-terminal amino acid sequence analyses revealed all antibodies (except 5-27) were composed of highly homologous VHIII(C) and V kappa II subgroup genes, respectively. Antibody 5-27 utilized a VHIII(B) and a V kappa V subgroup genes and shared low V-region sequence homology with 4-4-20, 9-40 and the remaining 9-40 idiotype family. In addition, complete 4-4-20, VH- and VL-region primary structures were determined to better understand antibody-antigen interactions. Antibody 4-4-20 utilized a VHIII(C) subgroup VH-gene, a truncated Sp2 D gene segment, JH4, a V kappa II subgroup VL-gene, and J kappa 1. Antibody 4-4-20 VH and VL complementarity-determining regions contained many basic and aromatic amino acid residues capable of interaction with fluorescein. Results are discussed in terms of idiotypic and fluorescein-binding characteristics as well as antibody structural and functional diversity in the immune response.  相似文献

In addition to crystallographic studies that determined antigen contact residues for monoclonal anti-fluorescein (Fl) antibody 4-4-20 (Ka = 2.5 x 10(10) M-1), primary structure comparisons revealed idiotypically cross-reactive monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) 9-40 (Ka = 4.4 x 10(7) M-1), 12-40 (Ka = 4.0 x 10(8) M-1), and 5-14 (Ka = 2.4 x 10(8) M-1) possessed identical Fl contact residues, with the exception of L34His for L34Arg. Site-specific mutagenesis of single chain antibody (SCA) 4-4-20 in which L34Arg was changed to L34His resulted in approximately 1000- and 3-fold decreases in binding affinity and Qmax (maximum quenching of bound Fl), respectively, which suggested that L34Arg was directly involved in increased binding affinity and fluorescence quenching. Therefore, substitution of Arg for His at residue L34 in mAbs 9-40, 12-40, and 5-14 should result in increased binding affinity and Qmax. To facilitate site-specific mutagenesis studies, single chain derivatives of mAbs 9-40, 12-40, and 5-14 were constructed. Following expression in Escherichia coli, characterization of the SCAs demonstrated that when compared with the respective parental mAb, the SCAs possessed identical binding affinities and similar Qmax and lambda max (absorption profiles of bound Fl) values. These results validated SCA 9-40, 12-40, and 5-14 for use in site-directed mutagenesis studies. Results of mutagenesis studies indicated that substitution of L34Arg into the active sites of 9-40, 12-40, and 5-14 was not enough to produce 4-4-20-like binding characteristics. Therefore, the following single chain mutants were constructed: 9-40L34Arg/L46Val, 12-40L34Arg/L46Val and 5-14L34Arg/L46Val, 9-40L34Arg/L46Val/H101Asp and 4-4-20H101Ala. Results demonstrated that these mutations were not able to render the mutant SCAs with increased binding affinity and fluorescence quenching values. Collectively, these results suggest that the combining sites of mAb 9-40, 12-40, and 5-14 may possess different active site structures than mAb 4-4-20.  相似文献

A thyroid hormone binding protein(s) has been characterized in the cytosol of fetal rat brain cells in primary cultures. This protein is closely related to the one described in brain supernatants with respect to its electrophoretic mobility, binding kinetic parameters and estimated molecular weight (65 000 daltons). However, in contrast to the brain cytosolic binding protein, two classes of affinity sites for triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) have been demonstrated: a high affinity site (KA = 1.2-3.7(3) X 10(9) M-1 for T3 and KA = 3.7-5 X 10(8) M-1 for T4) and a low affinity site (KA = 0.8-1.4 X 10(8) M-1 for T3 and 1.6-2.9 X 10(7) M-1 for T4). The results are discussed with respect to their cellular significance.  相似文献

Specific in vitro binding of [3H]testosterone (T), 5ALPHA[3H]dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and [3H[estradiol (E2) was demonstrated in the 30 000 X g supernatant (cytosol) of thigh muscles (TM) and of the levator ani - bulbocavernosus muscle complex (LA-BC) by gel filtration through Sephadex G-25 columns. In TM cytosol, T and E2 [are bound with high affinity (Ka = 1.1 X 10(9) M-1, and 2.3 X 10(9) M-1 respectively) whereas DHT binding is of lower affinity (Ka = 5.0 X 10(7) M-1).] In LA-BC cytosol, T, E2, and DHT are bound with high affinity (Ka = 1.9 X 10(9) M-1, 0.3 X 10(9) M-1, and 0.5 X 10(9) M-1, respectively). Competition experiments suggest that the binding of the three hormones (T, E2, and DHT) is due to different proteins. In addition to TM and LA-BC, T and E2 binding was found in other muscles of male and female rats, including gastrocnemius, the pectoralis, diaphragm, and heart.  相似文献

A simplified method has been developed for the determination of antibody-hapten association kinetics that permits the study of high affinity interactions with second order forward rate constants of the order of 10-7 to 10-8 M-1 sec-1. Use of tritiated haptens of high specific activity and antibodies of high affinity allows reactions to be run at initial hapten and antibody concentrations of the order of 10-9 to 10-10M, well below the level at which mixing becomes the rate-limiting step. Separation of antibody-bound from free hapten by the use of dextran-coated charcoal can be carried out with sufficient rapidity (2 sec) that the systems under investigation are not appreciably disturbed. With this technique, the association of 3-H-ouabain with rabbit ouabain-specific antibody was found to occur with a rate constant of 0.8 times 10-7 M-1 sec-1, similar to association rates of dye haptens with antibodies of substantially lower affinity. The ratio of this association rate constant to the independently determined dissociation rate constant was 5.4 times 10-9 M-1, in satisfactory agreement with a ko value of 3.5 times 10-9 M-1 determined by Sips analysis of data obtained under equilibrium conditions. This approach should be applicable to the direct kinetic assessment of numerous high affinity antibody-hapten systems of current interest.  相似文献

In the IgG antibody response to bacterial alpha-amylase (B alpha A) assayed by the enzymatic procedure, C3H/He (C3) mice were high and C57BL/6 (B6) mice were low responders. High responsiveness was inherited as a dominant characteristic in (B6XC3)F1 hybrid mice. In these strains, the primary antibody response was analyzed for heterogeneity by isoelectric focusing (IEF). The IEF spectra were visualized with the use of the capacity of antibody to inhibit the amylase activity of antigen. Increases in the antigen dose and in the time interval between immunization and bleeding resulted in increases in antibody titers accompanied by strong staining of focused antibodies and by the expansion of the pH range where antibodies were focused. High responsiveness in C3 and F1 hybrid mice was also associated with the increase in intensity of stain and the rapid expansion of pH range of focused antibodies. Another strain difference was noted in the isoelectric point (pI) values of antibodies taken early in the primary response. B6 antisera contained those fractions of antibodies focusing over a more alkaline area than C3 antibodies. A similar strain difference in the pI values of antibodies occurred in the response to an irrelevant antigen, Taka-amylase A (TAA), suggesting that the hypervariable regions of antibody molecules play no major part in the strain difference observed. Antisera from F1 hybrid mice displayed bands covering the combined pH ranges of B6 and C3 spectrotypes.  相似文献

We obtained a monoclonal antibody (TDM-1) binding to 313-nm UV-irradiated DNA in the presence of acetophenone. The binding of TDM-1 to 254-nm UV-irradiated DNA was not reduced with the subsequent irradiation of 313-nm UV. Furthermore, the treatment of UV-irradiated DNA with photolyase from E. coli and visible light exposure reduced both the antibody binding and the amount of thymine dimers in the DNA. A competitive inhibition assay revealed that the binding of TDM-1 to UV-irradiated DNA was inhibited with photolyase, but not with 64M-1 antibody specific for (6-4)photoproducts. These results suggest that TDM-1 antibody recognizes cyclobutane-type thymine dimers in DNA. Using TDM-1 and 64M-1 antibodies, we differentially measured each type of damage in DNA extracted from UV-irradiated mammalian cells. Repair experiments confirm that thymine dimers are excised from UV-irradiated cellular DNA more slowly than (6-4)photoproducts, and that the excision rates of thymine dimers and (6-4)photoproducts are lower in mouse NIH3T3 cells than in human cells.  相似文献

Temperature-jump experiments were performed with di-, tetra-, and hexasaccharides derived from type III pneumococcal polysaccharide using a homogeneous corresponding antibody IgG 45-394. A decrease in stability of the oligosaccharide-antibody complexes with decreasing chain length was observed and entirely reflected in the decrease of the association rate constants which were 1.7 X 10(4) M-1 s-1 for the di-, 3.7 X 10(5) M-1 s-1 for the tetra-, and 1.1 X 10(6) M-1 s-1 for the hexasaccharide at 23 degrees C. The dissociation rate constants for all oligomers were about 12 s-1. This marked chain-length dependence of the association rate constants as well as their low values are unexpected for a single binding step. A mechanism is proposed which consists of a fast formation of a labile oligosaccharide-antibody precomplex followed by a slow isomerization step which is induced by the oligosaccharide ligands but which is chain-length independent.  相似文献

We describe a quantitative autoradiographic technique which allows measurement of angiotensin-I-converting enzyme [ACE] (kininase II, peptidyldipeptide hydrolase, EC 3.4.15.1) levels in discrete areas of pituitary and adrenal glands in individual animals. Tissue sections were incubated with 125I-351A, a specific ACE inhibitor, and results were obtained with computerized densitometry and comparison to 125I standards. There were high levels of ACE in both the anterior and posterior lobes of the pituitary, with no detectable binding in the intermediate lobe. The maximum binding capacity (Bmax) was 920 +/- 62 fmol/mg protein for the anterior pituitary and 1162 +/- 67 fmol/mg protein for posterior pituitary. The binding affinity constant (Ka) was 0.95 +/- 0.11 X 10(9) M-1 and 1.20 +/- 0.19 X 10(9) M-1 for the anterior and posterior lobes, respectively. In the adrenal gland, there were two distinct areas of specific binding, the adrenal medulla and the adrenal capsule-zona glomerulosa area. The Bmax for the adrenal medulla was 652 +/- 80 fmol/mg protein and 294 +/- 53 fmol/mg protein for the adrenal capsule-zona glomerulosa. The Ka for 351A was 1.04 +/- 0.19 X 10(9) M-1 and 1.74 +/- 0.40 X 10(9) M-1 for medulla and adrenal capsule-zona glomerulosa respectively. The results support the existence of local ANG systems active in both the pituitary and adrenal glands.  相似文献

Selective growth of human basophilic granulocytes was obtained in suspension cultures of mononuclear cells from umbilical cord blood. Approximately 50 to 80% of nonadherent cells recovered from 2- to 3-wk-old cultures contained metachromatic granules, and these cells were identified as human basophilic granulocytes by electron microscopy. Histamine content of cultured human basophils was comparable to that in peripheral blood basophils. Cultured basophils bear 2.7 to 3.7 X 10(5) IgE receptors per cell that bind both human IgE and rodent IgE with comparable affinity. Average equilibrium constants of the receptors for human IgE and mouse IgE were 2.56 +/- 0.88 X 10(9) M-1 and 1.85 +/- 0.86 X 10(9) M-1, respectively. The cell-surface component of the IgE receptors on cultured basophils has a m.w. of 64,000. Cultured basophils could be passively sensitized with human IgE and mouse IgE monoclonal antibody, and sensitized basophils released characteristic cytoplasmic granules and both histamine and arachidonate upon challenge with either anti-human IgE or antigen. Incubation of cultured basophils with ionophore A23187 or F-Met-Leu-Phe resulted in histamine release. However, compound 48/80 failed to induce histamine release from the cells.  相似文献

A simple procedure, based on the precipitin curve and the antibody:antigen ratios of the precipitates, is described for evaluation of the intrinsic association constant (k) governing the interaction between a multivalent antigen and a bivalent antibody. Its application is illustrated with a study of the interaction between alpha-crystallin and an elicited monoclonal antibody, which is shown to exhibit essentially identical affinities (k = 9 X 10(4) M-1) for the alpha m and alpha c forms of the antigen.  相似文献
