Modulation of transferrin receptor expression and function by anti-transferrin receptor antibodies and antibody fragments 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
It has been suggested that effects of anti-transferrin receptor antibodies on cell growth and receptor expression are the result of varying degrees of receptor crosslinking by bi- and multivalet binding agents. In order to study this question directly, we have cultured murine lymphoma cells in mono- and divalent fragments from IgG and IgM monoclonal anti-transferrin receptor antibodies and in intact antibodies. The studies presented here demonstrate that effects of antibody binding on transferrin receptor distribution, metabolism, and function depend, at least in part, on antibody valence, and therefore on the degree of crosslinking of receptors by antibody. We found that monovalent antibody fragments did not significantly alter cell growth, receptor surface expression, intracellular localization, or degradation. Diavalent antibody caused a uniform down-regulation of cell-surface receptor expression, which was accompanied by increased degradation only when antibody Fc was present. Normal receptor cycling apparently continued, despite the reduction in surface expression. Culture in multivalent IgM antibody, however, resulted in accumulation of antibody-complexed receptor on the cell surface without internalization and caused profound inhibition of cell growth. Thus, we show two mechanisms by which different degrees of antibody crosslinking can influence transferrin receptor function: by receptor down-regulation and blocking internalization. 相似文献

The response of malignant and nonmalignant human breast cell lines to the growth inhibitory effects of monoclonal antibodies against the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor was studied. A series of human breast cell lines, which express EGF receptor, were used: MDA-468, MDA-231, and Hs578T human breast cancer cells and the transformed human mammary epithelial cell lines 184A1N4 and 184A1N4-T that have been benzo[a]pyrene immortalized and further transformed with SV40T, respectively. Four antibodies of two different classes were tested: 225 immunoglobulin G (IgG), 108.4 IgG, 96 immunoglobulin M (IgM), and 42 IgM. All four antibodies inhibited the anchorage-dependent and -independent, EGF-stimulated growth of 184A1N4 and 184A1N4-T cells, respectively, and this growth inhibition could be reversed by the addition of increasing concentrations of EGF. In contrast, the antibodies inhibited the anchorage-dependent and -independent growth of MDA-468 cells in the absence of exogenous EGF suggesting that the antibodies were acting to block access of an endogenously produced ligand to the EGF receptor. In the presence of antibody and increasing concentrations of EGF, MDA-468 cell growth was first stimulated then inhibited as the EGF concentration increased, thus, uncovering the growth stimulatory potential of low concentrations of EGF in these cells. Data is presented that indicates MDA-468 cells secrete a transforming growth factor with autocrine growth stimulatory capabilities. The growth of MDA-231 and Hs578T cells, which contain activated ras oncogenes, was not inhibited by the antibodies and the growth of these cell lines was not stimulated by EGF. Of the cell lines studied only MDA-468 cells appear to possess an autocrine growth stimulatory capacity. 相似文献

Some anti-murine transferrin receptor monoclonal antibodies block iron uptake in mouse cell lines and inhibit cell growth. We report here the selection and characterization of mutant murine lymphoma cell lines which escape this growth inhibition by anti-transferrin receptor antibody. Growth assays and immunoprecipitation of transferrin receptor in hybrids between independently derived mutants or between mutants and antibody-susceptible parental cell lines indicate that all of the selected lines have a similar genetic alteration that is codominantly expressed in hybrids. Anti-transferrin receptor antibodies and transferrin itself still bind to the mutant lines with saturating levels and Kd values very similar to those of the parental lines. However, reciprocal clearing experiments by immunoprecipitation and reciprocal blocking of binding to the cell surface with two anti-transferrin receptor antibodies indicate that the mutant lines have altered a fraction of their transferrin receptors such that the growth-inhibiting antibody no longer binds, whereas another portion of their transferrin receptors is similar to those of the parental lines and binds both antibodies. These results argue that the antibody-selected mutant cell lines are heterozygous in transferrin receptor expression, probably with a mutation in one of the transferrin receptor structural genes. 相似文献

Transferrin receptor induction is required for human B-lymphocyte activation but not for immunoglobulin secretion 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Transferrin receptors are expressed on proliferating cells and are required for their growth. Transferrin receptors can be detected after, but not before, mitogenic stimulation of normal peripheral blood T and B cells. In the experiments reported here we have examined the regulation of transferrin receptor expression on activated human B cells and whether or not these receptors are necessary for activation to occur. Activation was assessed by studying both proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. We have determined that transferrin receptor expression on B cells is regulated by a factor contained in supernatants of mitogen-stimulated T cells (probably B-cell growth factor). This expression is required for proliferation to occur, since antibody to transferrin receptor (42/6) blocks B-cell proliferation. Induction of immunoglobulin secretion, however, although dependent on PHA-treated T-cell supernatant, is not dependent on transferrin receptor expression and can occur in mitogen-stimulated cells whose proliferation has been blocked by antitransferrin receptor antibody. In addition, we have demonstrated that IgM messenger RNA induction following mitogen stimulation is unaffected by antitransferrin receptor antibody. These findings support a model for B-cell activation in which mitogen (or antigen) delivers two concurrent but distinct signals to B cells: one, dependent on B-cell growth factor and transferrin receptor expression, for proliferation, and a second, dependent on T cell-derived factors and not requiring transferrin receptors, which leads to immunoglobulin secretion. 相似文献

The role of the transferrin receptor in human B lymphocyte activation 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Transferrin receptors are expressed on proliferating cells and are required for their growth. Transferrin receptors can be detected after, but not before, mitogenic stimulation of normal peripheral blood T and B cells. T cells demonstrate a functional requirement for transferrin receptors in the activation process. These receptors, in turn, are induced to appear by T cell growth factor (interleukin 2). In the experiments reported here, we examined the regulation of transferrin receptor expression on activated human B cells and whether these receptors are necessary for activation to occur. Activation was assessed by studying both proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. We determined that transferrin receptor expression on B cells is regulated by a factor contained in supernatants of mitogen-stimulated T cells (probably B cell growth factor). This expression is required for proliferation to occur, because antibody to transferrin receptor (42/6) blocks B cell proliferation. Induction of immunoglobulin secretion, however, although dependent on phytohemagglutinin-treated T cell supernatant, is not dependent on transferrin receptor expression and can occur in mitogen-stimulated cells whose proliferation has been blocked by anti-transferrin receptor antibody. These findings support a model for B cell activation in which mitogen (or antigen) delivers two concurrent but distinct signals to B cells: one, dependent on B cell growth factor and transferrin receptor expression, for proliferation; and a second, dependent on T cell-derived factors and not requiring transferrin receptors, which leads to immunoglobulin secretion. 相似文献

Selective inhibition of lipopolysaccharide-induced polyclonal IgG response by monoclonal Ly-5 antibody 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We have identified two important molecules involved in the regulation of B cell differentiation, namely Lyb-2 and Ly-5. To gain further insight into the function of these two molecules, we examined the effect of monoclonal Lyb-2 and Ly-5 antibodies on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced B cell growth and maturation. We found that Lyb-2 antibody does not have any effect on LPS-induced proliferation and on polyclonal IgM or total IgG responses. On the other hand, although Ly-5 antibody did not affect proliferation and polyclonal IgM responses, it strongly inhibited polyclonal IgG responses, presumably by direct action on B cells. This inhibition was not caused by direct suppressive effect of Ly-5 antibody or Fc receptor-mediated negative signaling. To exert maximal inhibitory effect, Ly-5 antibody had to be added to the culture during the initial 48 hr. However, the presence of Ly-5 antibody during the first 2 days did not cause a significant inhibition. It is thus likely that Ly-5 plays a critical role in the regulation of LPS-induced B cell maturation into IgG-secreting cells at a phase starting within 48 hr after LPS stimulation and continuing thereafter. 相似文献

Guinea pig B cells were found to proliferate when co-stimulated with F(ab')2 of rabbit anti-guinea pig IgM and human 12-kDa B cell growth factor (BCGF), though the proliferation did not occur with the replacement of the F(ab')2 by its parent IgG antibody. In addition, the intact antibody inhibited the proliferation induced by F(ab')2 of anti-IgM and BCGF. Because both two distinct types of FcR for IgG on the B cells, one specific for IgG2 (Fc gamma 2R) and the other for both IgG2 and IgG1 (Fc gamma 1/gamma 2R), can bind rabbit IgG, we determined whether they participate in the inhibition of the B cell proliferation by intact anti-guinea pig IgM antibody. Blocking Fc gamma 1/gamma 2R by F(ab')2 of anti-Fc gamma 1/gamma 2R mAb significantly reversed the inhibitory effect of intact anti-IgM antibody. F(ab')2 of anti-Fc gamma 2R mAb, however, was not effective. Furthermore, guinea pig IgG1 and IgG2 anti-rabbit IgG antibodies suppressed similarly the B cell proliferation induced by F(ab')2 of rabbit anti-IgM and BCGF. These results show that between these two types of Fc gamma R on B cells, Fc gamma 1/gamma 2R alone is involved in the regulation of anti-IgM and BCGF-induced B cell proliferation, and inhibits the response when cross-linked to the surface IgM. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody down-regulates mutant receptors and inhibits tumors expressing EGFR mutations 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Perez-Torres M Guix M Gonzalez A Arteaga CL 《The Journal of biological chemistry》2006,281(52):40183-40192
Activating mutations in the kinase domain of the EGF receptor have been reported in non-small cell lung cancer. The majority of tumors expressing these mutants are sensitive to ATP mimetics that inhibit the EGFR tyrosine kinase. The effect of antibodies that bind to the ectodomain of the receptor is less clear. We report herein the effects and mechanisms of action of the antibody cetuximab in lung cancer cells that naturally express receptor mutations and in ErbB-null 32D hematopoietic cells transfected with mutant EGFR. Treatment with cetuximab down-regulated EGFR levels and inhibited cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. This was associated with inhibition of ligand-independent EGFR signaling. These effects were seen in 32D cells arguing the growth inhibitory action was not because of the blockade of autocrine ligand action. Both antibody-induced EGFR down-regulation and inhibition of growth required receptor dimerization as monovalent Fab fragments only eliminated receptor levels or reduced cell proliferation in the presence of antihuman IgG. Finally, cetuximab inhibited growth of H1975 lung cancer cells and xenografts, which expressed L858R/T790M EGFR and were resistant to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These data suggest that cetuximab is an effective therapy against mutant EGFR-expressing cancer cells and thus can be considered in combination with other anti-EGFR molecules. 相似文献

We have produced a new rat IgG monoclonal antibody against the murine transferrin receptor (TR). This antibody (C2F2) exhibits a surprisingly selective pattern of inhibition of murine lymphocyte activation protocols. C2F2 inhibits the mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR) and the generation of cytotoxic T cells. Interestingly, although interleukin 1 (IL 1)-dependent thymocyte co-stimulatory activity is strongly inhibited by C2F2, interleukin 2 (IL 2)-dependent thymocyte co-stimulation is only marginally reduced. IL 2-dependent growth of CTLL cells is also not inhibited by C2F2. These data suggest that IL 1-dependent helper T cell activation is very sensitive to C2F2-mediated inhibition. Studies with phytohemagglutinin, Concanavalin A, and lipopolysaccharide induced activation also indicate that the inhibitory effects of C2F2 are selective, and T cell activation may be more sensitive to inhibition than B cell activation. Although there is little published information about the functional effects of other rat anti-mouse TR antibodies, the available data suggest that the patterns of inhibition produced by anti-TR antibodies may be individually distinct. Anti-TR antibodies may constitute a new set of highly selective probes for the study of lymphocyte activation. 相似文献

Immunotherapy of murine leukemias by monoclonal antibody. I. Effect of passively administered antibody on growth of transplanted tumor cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The objective of the present study was to establish a model system for the evaluation of passive immunotherapy of murine leukemias. Monoclonal antibodies directed at T lymphocyte differentiation antigens (Thy 1 and Lyt 2) were tested for their effect on tumors that were grown in hosts congenic for the target antigen. Tumor challenges were selected that were at least 500 times the dose that was lethal in 50% of untreated controls. The A strain leukemia, ASL.1, was transplanted subcutaneously into a/Thy 1.1 congenic hosts. Intraperitoneal administration of anti-Thy 1.2 monoclonal antibodies of the IgG3 and IgM classes reduced tumor growth. Up to 90% of the mice receiving antibody of the IgG3 subclass failed to develop tumors, whereas IgM antibodies prolonged survival time, but the mice eventually died of tumors. Antibody was most effective if administered within 24 hr of tumor inoculation; delay of antibody injection for 48 hr prolonged host survival but did not eradicate cells at the injection site or prevent metastases. The C57BL/6-derived tumors, ERLD and EL4, were evaluated for susceptibility to treatment with antibody directed at the Lyt 2.2 alloantigen using the protocol that was effective in treating aSL.1. Monoclonal antibody of the IgG2a subclass was effective in the case of C57BL/6/Lyt 2.1 congenic mice bearing ERLD, but caused a decrease in survival time of mice bearing the transplanted EL4 tumor. Thus, antibody of the appropriate immunoglobulin subclass can be effective in controlling tumor growth if administered in the optimal treatment regimen, but inherent features of the tumor cell ultimately determine whether abrogation or enhancement of growth will occur. 相似文献

Two lipopolysaccharide O-antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies, MA1-8 (an immunoglobulin G1 [IgG1]) and MF15-4 (an IgM), were used to localize the O antigen of the lipopolysaccharide of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. A protein A-dextran-gold conjugate with an average particle diameter of 12.5 nm was used to label bacterial cells treated with MA1-8, while a second antibody (goat anti-mouse IgM) was required before the same probe could interact with cells treated with the IgM antibody MF15-4. Both antibodies resulted in exclusive labeling of the surface of P. aeruginosa PAO1 but not that of an isogenic O-antigen-lacking rough mutant. When the monoclonal antibodies became attached to the cell surface of P. aeruginosa PAO1, resulting in an even coating, the foldings and other topographic details could not be discerned by negative staining. In thin sections of monoclonal-antibody-treated bacteria, a 20- and a 30- to 40-nm thick amorphous layer was observed around the outside of the outer membrane when MA1-8 (IgG) and MF15-4 (IgM) plus goat anti-mouse IgM antibodies were used, respectively. This amorphous layer presumably resulted from the stabilization of the lipopolysaccharide structure by the monoclonal antibodies which prevented the long O-antigen chains from collapsing owing to dehydration. 相似文献

IgG anti-T cell autoantibodies are common in SLE serum, react preferentially with activated lymphocytes, and exert early-phase inhibitory effects on antigen-induced T cell proliferation. Little is known about the target molecules in this system, however, because the low titer and low avidity of the most interesting antibodies limit their utility in conventional immunoprecipitation analyses. Therefore, Western blotting was used to demonstrate binding of IgG in anti-T cell antibody-positive SLE sera to four surface membrane molecules shared by peripheral T cells and HSB-2 cells. Molecules of Mr 90,000 and 55,000 were particularly reactive: each target was stained by IgG anti-lymphocyte antibodies in 11 patient sera (approximately 85%) in the panel. Targets of Mr 37,000 and 105,000 were encountered less frequently (six of 13 and one of 13 patients, respectively). It is unlikely that alloantibodies contributed to the staining patterns observed because reactivity with the four targets was consistently present when cell preparations from multiple unrelated donors were examined. The target molecules were localized to the plasma membrane by whole cell absorption/elution experiments, by the failure of chromatin (DNA/histone) to absorb antibodies to these antigens, and through the use of purified membranes as substrate for Western blotting. With the possible exception of the 105,000 Mr molecule, which is a major target in the IgM anti-T cell antibody system, evidence for the existence of neoantigens as a basis for increased reactivity of SLE IgG with activated T cells was not obtained. The identity of the IgG antibody-reactive molecules with respect to known T cell antigens was not determined, although evidence against the existence of antibodies to Tac (IL 2 receptor) and the transferrin receptor was obtained in monoclonal antibody pre-clearing experiments. Nonetheless, the observation that a limited number of major IgG autoantibody target antigens on activated peripheral T cells are shared by HSB-2 cells, a primitive T cell line expressing few of the differentiation antigens characteristic of mature T cells, should provide a basis for more definitive characterization of antigens in this system in the future. 相似文献

Antibody internalization into the cell is required for many targeted therapeutics, such as immunotoxins, immunoliposomes, antibody-drug conjugates and for targeted delivery of genes or viral DNA into cells. To generate directly tumor-specific internalizing antibodies, a non-immune single chain Fv (scFv) phage antibody library was selected on the breast tumor cell line SKBR3. Internalized phage were recovered from within the cell and used for the next round of selection. After three rounds of selection, 40 % of clones analyzed bound SKBR3 and other tumor cells but did not bind normal human cells. Of the internalizing scFv identified, two (F5 and C1) were identified as binding to ErbB2, and one (H7) to the transferrin receptor. Both F5 and H7 scFv were efficiently endocytosed into SKBR3 cells, both as phage antibodies and as native monomeric scFv. Both antibodies were able to induce additional functional effects besides triggering endocytosis: F5 scFv induces downstream signaling through the ErbB2 receptor and H7 prevents transferrin binding to the transferrin receptor and inhibits cell growth. The results demonstrate the feasibility of selecting internalizing receptor-specific antibodies directly from phage libraries by panning on cells. Such antibodies can be used to target a variety of molecules into the cell to achieve a therapeutic effect. Furthermore, in some instances endocytosis serves as a surrogate marker for other therapeutic biologic effects, such as growth inhibition. Thus, a subset of selected antibodies will have a direct therapeutic effect. 相似文献

The effects of F(ab')2 fragments of affinity-purified rabbit anti-human mu chain antibody (RaHmu) and rabbit anti-human delta chain antibody (RaHdelta) on spontaneous and mitogen-stimulated immunoglobulin (Ig) secretion by normal human spleen cells were studied. IgM and IgG secretion by human spleen cells cultured in vitro was measured by incubating the cells with 3H-amino acids precipitating the secreted labeled Ig with anti-Ig, and analyzing the precipitates by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Both RaHmu and RaHdelta suppressed spontaneous and LPS-induced IgM and IgG secretion as well as PWM-stimulated IgG secretion. In different experiments, RaHmu and RaHdelta either suppressed or augmented PWM-induced IgM secretion. The anti-Ig induced augmentation of PWM-triggered IgM secretion was most apparent when spleen cells were cultured at lower cell densities or when lower concentrations of anti-Ig were employed. These date indicate that perturbation of B cell surface immunoglobulin receptors with specific anti-Ig antibody can alter markedly the ability of these cells to differentiate into antibody-secreting cells. 相似文献

Only antibodies of the IgM class were produced in vitro by peripheral blood mononuclear cells stimulated with streptococcal carbohydrate. B cells of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells, however, synthesized both IgM and IgG class antibodies when combined with tonsillar T cells, suggesting that T cells inducing immunoglobulin class switching are present in the tonsils. Peripheral blood T cells also became capable of inducing B cells to produce IgG class antibodies when the T cells were incubated with antigen-pulsed macrophages. Surface IgM-positive, IgG-negative high-density B cells produced IgG antibodies for streptococcal carbohydrate in the presence of these T cells or tonsillar T cells. The culture supernatant solutions from these T cells or tonsillar T cells, however, failed to cause the B cells to produce IgG, indicating that class switching is not mediated by factors released from T cells. Lymphokines such as interleukin-2, human B cell growth factor, helper T cell factor, or interferon-gamma were also incapable of inducing IgG production. These results suggest that the cognate interaction between T cells and B cells is necessary for the immunoglobulin class switching. 相似文献

Regulation of mucosal B cell immunoglobulin secretion by intestinal epithelial cell-derived cytokines 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) secrete a variety of cytokines and, because of their close proximity to B cells in the lamina propria, may affect local antibody production via these cytokines. However, studies have not yet addressed which and to what extent these IEC-derived cytokines may affect B cell antibody production. In this study, rat mesenteric lymph node B cells were cultured with culture supernatants from the rat IEC-6 intestinal epithelial cell line to determine their effect on immunoglobulin (Ig) secretion. Unstimulated IEC-6 cells were found to secrete sufficient levels of IL-6 to enhance IgA, IgG and IgM secretion by unstimulated B cells. However, culture of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated B cells with the unstimulated IEC-6 supernatant resulted in an enhancement of IgA secretion while IgM secretion was significantly suppressed. Depletion of the IEC-6 supernatant using cytokine specific antibodies revealed that both interleukin 6 (IL-6) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) were responsible for the enhanced IgA secretion while TGF-beta suppressed IgM secretion. More importantly, culture supernatants from LPS stimulated IEC-6 cells contained enhanced levels of IL-6 which enhanced both IgG and IgA production and partially overcame the suppressive effect of TGF-beta on IgM secretion. These results suggest that intestinal epithelial cells may secrete IL-6 and TGF-beta to regulate local B cell antibody secretion and their effect may be highly dependent upon the activation state of the epithelial cells. 相似文献

Antibodies to the common leukocyte antigen (T200) inhibit an early phase in the activation of resting human B cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

T191, a monoclonal antibody reactive with the T200 common leukocyte antigen, profoundly inhibits an early event(s) associated with alpha-immunoglobulin M (alpha IgM)/T cell replacing factor (TRF) or alpha IgM/recombinant interleukin 1 and 2 (rIL 1 and rIL 2)-induced tonsillar B cell proliferation. Kinetic analysis of T191-mediated inhibition indicated that the antibody exerts its effect within 12 to 24 hr of the initiation of cultures and rapidly loses its activity thereafter. Small resting B cells are most sensitive to T191 inhibition, whereas B cells with increasing buoyant density (presumably reflecting stages of increased activation) become progressively T191 insensitive. Analysis of RNA synthesis subsequent to alpha IgM crosslinking of surface immunoglobulin demonstrated that T191 reduced [3H]uridine incorporation by up to 38% during the first 20 hr of culture. In contrast to the effects seen with alpha IgM stimulated B cells, T191 had no inhibitory effect upon phorbol myristate acetate-induced B cell proliferation. The inhibitory effect upon B cell proliferation observed with T191 is not unique among other alpha-T200 antibodies. Four of five previously described alpha-T200 monoclonal antibodies had similar inhibitory effects (82 to 57% maximum inhibition of [3H]thymidine incorporation). However, 13.3, an alpha-T200 monoclonal antibody previously shown to block natural killer (NK) cell-mediated killing was without effect. Likewise, those antibodies capable of inhibiting B cell proliferation failed to block NK-mediated cytolysis. Antibody binding experiments together with proliferation inhibition studies suggest that all of the monoclonal antibodies tested recognized distinct epitopes on the T200 antigen. Both observations are of significance because they demonstrate that the effects seen with anti-T200 antibodies represent an interference with highly specific functional regions on the T200 molecules. 相似文献

Immunoprecipitation of extracts of human carcinoma cell lines with three different monoclonal antibodies generated against ras proteins revealed the coprecipitation of a 90,000 dalton protein. The coprecipitated protein was identified as the transferrin receptor by comigration in both reducing and nonreducing SDS-polyacrylamide gels, by absorption with a monoclonal antibody directed against transferrin receptor, and by analysis of partial proteolysis products. Coprecipitation of the transferrin receptor with three monoclonal antibodies with differing specificities to ras proteins, as well as the inability to coprecipitate the transferrin receptor from cell extracts from which ras proteins were depleted by preabsorption, indicates that ras proteins and the transferrin receptor form a molecular complex. This complex is disrupted by addition of transferrin to cell extracts. These findings suggest that ras proteins function in regulation of cell growth via interaction with the cell surface receptor for transferrin. 相似文献

Treatment of PBL or Percoll-isolated LGL with anti-transferrin antibodies plus complement reduced their natural killing activity against K-562 cells between 30 and 70%. The same antibodies inhibited natural cytotoxicity when added directly to the assay. Similar depletion or inhibition of NK cytotoxicity was observed when using HeLa cells as targets. The decrease or inhibition by transferrin antibodies was less marked when IFN-treated PBL or LGL as effector cells were used. The inhibition of anti-transferrin antibodies seems to be located at the level of the effector cell population. When PBL but not target K-562 cells were pretreated with anti-transferrin antibodies and were washed before use in the assay, cytotoxicity was decreased by 50%. In addition, about 80% of the LGL positively selected on anti-transferrin plates stained with Leu-11. Furthermore, no reduction by anti-transferrin antibodies plus complement treatment of PBL or LGL, or inhibition by antibodies alone, was observed when the cells were tested against HSV-1-infected cells. Membrane extracts from LGL inhibited NK cytotoxicity against K-562 or HeLa cells. Moreover, the inhibitory component of this extract was removed by anti-transferrin IgG but not by control IgG. These results are in agreement with the recent hypothesis that NK cells recognize the transferrin receptor in tumor target cells, because both the transferrin receptor and anti-transferrin antibodies may share a similar structure that interacts with the NK cells. 相似文献

Rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells were shown to bind mouse monoclonal (MC) IgE and certain mouse monomeric IgG1 and IgG2b monoclonal antibodies (MAb) by using a haptenated sheep red blood cell (SRBC) rosetting assay. Rosette formation was antibody concentration dependent with all three immunoglobulin isotypes, but at least 100 times more IgG than IgE was required to form a similar number of rosettes. It was shown by FACS analysis and rosette formation that a subset (8/23) of the IgG MC was able to bind to RBL cells as monomers. However, the majority 15/23 did not bind or bound weakly (less than 25% rosettes) unless in the form of antigen-antibody complexes. As complexes, all IgG subclasses except IgG3 could produce rosettes with RBL cells. None of the IgM or IgA MC tested formed rosettes, even in complexed form. By inhibition studies it is demonstrated that mouse IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b MC bind to the same Fc receptor. Mouse IgE was only partially able to inhibit IgG-dependent rosettes at high concentrations, and none of the IgG MC were able to inhibit IgE-dependent rosettes. These results suggest that the interaction of mouse IgG is quite specific for the RBL cell FcG receptor. Because deaggregated polyclonal mouse IgG was a weak inhibitor of MC IgG sensitization of RBL cells, the results are discussed in terms of the heterogeneity and possible abnormality of some MAb. 相似文献
