Murine monoclonal antibodies were produced which coimmunoprecipitated, under reducing conditions, 130,000- and 55,000-dalton (Da) polypeptides from cells infected with human cytomegalovirus (CMV) strain AD169. A 92,000-Da species, possibly a biosynthetic intermediate, was also detectable. One of the monoclonal antibodies, 15D8, neutralized CMV AD169 only in the presence of guinea pig complement. A second monoclonal antibody, 14E10, coimmunoprecipitated the 130,000- and 55,000-Da polypeptides but did not neutralize viral infectivity. By sequential immunoprecipitation, both monoclonal antibodies have been shown to recognize the same polypeptides. Monoclonal antibody 15D8 detected the 130,000- and 55,000-Da polypeptides in five of six clinical strains and three laboratory strains tested. The 14E10 monoclonal antibody detected the 130,000-Da protein in four of six CMV clinical isolates and in strain AD169 but did not immunoprecipitate any polypeptides from extracts of cells infected with either Towne or Davis laboratory strains. In kinetic studies, the synthesis of the 130,000-Da polypeptide preceded the appearance of the 55,000-Da polypeptide. In infected cells radiolabeled with a pulse of L-[35S]methionine, the isotope was initially detected in the 130,000-Da polypeptide but could be chased into the 55,000-Da polypeptide. These polypeptides exist in the intracellular and extracellular virus as disulfide-linked multimers. Extracellular virus contained a high-molecular-weight (greater than 200,000 Da) multimer composed entirely of 55,000-Da polypeptides. In extracts from infected cells an additional high-molecular-weight multimer was detected consisting of disulfide-linked 130,000-Da polypeptides. 相似文献

Summary Using allogeneic antibody, we previously described a tumor-associated antigen (TAA) in the urine of 68% of melanoma patients. The TAA was purified from urine of a melanoma patient and used as immunogen to develop a murine monoclonal antibody (AD1-40F4) and xenopolyclonal antibodies in a baboon. Sera from melanoma patients treated with whole melanoma cell vaccine were used as the source of human antibody to the glycoprotein antigen. Treatment with 2-mercaptoethanol and separation by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis resolved the high-molecular-mass glycoprotein TAA into smaller subunits. Immunoblot analysis indicates that the murine monoclonal antibody (AD1-40F4) recognized a 90–100-kDa subunit of the antigen while human anti-TAA antibodies primarily recognized a 65-kDa subunit in addition to the 90–100-kDa subunit. Baboon polyclonal antibodies recognized the same subunits plus a 120-kDa subunit. Blocking studies indicated that the murine monoclonal and baboon polyclonal antibodies recognized the closely related epitopes on the 90–100-kDa subunit, while human antibodies recognized an epitope entirely distinct from that recognized by the mouse antibody. These results demonstrate the epitope complexity associated with the high-molecular-mass glycoprotein TAA. 相似文献

A monoclonal antibody (mAb), AD1, was isolated that recognized a cell surface protein on rat basophilic leukemia cells (RBL-2H3). At high concentration, this antibody inhibited IgE-mediated but not calcium ionophore-induced histamine release (49% inhibition at 100 micrograms/ml). The mAb AD1 did not inhibit the binding of IgE or of several antibodies directed to the high affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RI). Likewise, IgE did not inhibit mAb AD1 binding. However, several anti-Fc epsilon RI antibodies did inhibit mAb AD1 binding as intact molecules but not as Fab fragments. Therefore, the sites on the cell surface to which mAb AD1 binds are close to Fc epsilon RI. The mAb AD1 immunoprecipitated a broad, 50-60-kDa band from 125I-surface-labeled RBL-2H3 cells that upon peptide N-glycosidase F treatment was transformed into a sharp 27-kDa band. A similar 27-kDa protein was immunoprecipitated from surface-radiolabeled cells after culture with tunicamycin. Thus, the protein recognized by mAb AD1 is highly glycosylated with predominantly N-linked oligosaccharides. The N-terminal sequence of 43 amino acids was found to be different from any subunit of Fc epsilon RI but nearly identical to that of the human melanoma-associated antigen ME491. Therefore, mAb AD1 binds to a surface glycoprotein on RBL-2H3 cells sterically close to the Fc epsilon RI but distinct from the recognized subunits of the receptor. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies to rabbit sperm autoantigens. I. Inhibition of in vitro fertilization and localization on the egg 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Biochemical and antigenic similarities exist among members of what can be considered a family of low molecular weight rabbit sperm autoantigens. These autoantigens are intrinsic plasma membrane glycoproteins specific to spermatogenic cells and spermatozoa. The amino acid and carbohydrate compositions of rabbit sperm autoantigen-1 (RSA-1) and RSA-2 were compared and monoclonal antibodies (mAb) were raised in mice against rabbit sperm autoantigens. The epitopes recognized by the antibodies were present on RSA-1, 2 and 3. A monoclonal anti-RSA-1, 2 and 3 (designated A.F. 1) was used to localize the antigen on spermatozoa and testis cells and investigate the epitope's tissue specificity. This mAb inhibited in vitro fertilization but did not block the sperm from dispersing the cumulus cells surrounding the egg. The mAb also demonstrated the presence of RSA-1, 2 and 3 on the plasma membrane of the egg after fertilization. It is concluded that the RSA family plays a central role in zona penetration. 相似文献

The use of anti-idiotypic antibodies as immunogens represents one potential approach to active specific immunotherapy of cancer. Two panels of syngeneic monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies were generated. One panel was directed against mAb CC49 and the other to mAb COL-1. mAb CC49 recognizes the pancarcinoma antigen (Ag), tumor-associated glycoprotein-72 (TAG-72), and mAb COL-1 recognizes carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). Seven anti-idiotypic (AI) antibodies (Ab2) designated AI49-1–7 were generated that recognize the variable region of mAb CC49. These mAb were shown to inhibit the interaction of mAb CC49 (Ab1) with TAG-72 (Ag). Five anti-idiotypic antibodies designated CAI-1–5 were also generated to the anti-CEA mAb, COL-1 (Ab1). These Ab2 were shown to inhibit the interaction between COL-1 (Ab1) and CEA (Ag). Immunization of mice, rats, and rabbits with Ab2 directed against CC49 or COL-1 could not elicit specific Ab3 humoral immune responses, i.e., antibody selectively reactive with their respective target antigens. However, immunization of mice with the CC49 anti-idiotypic antibody (Ab2), designated AI49-3, could induce a delayed-type hypersensitivity response (DTH) specific for tumor cells that express TAG-72. Similarly, immunization of mice with an anti-idiotypic antibody directed against COL-1, designated CAI-1, could induce specific DTH cell-mediated immune responses to murine tumor cells that express human CEA on their surface. These results thus demonstrate that while some anti-idiotype mAb may not be potent immunogens in eliciting Ab3 humoral responses, they are capable of eliciting specific cellular immune responses against human carcinoma-associated antigens. This type of mAb may ultimately be useful in active immunotherapy protocols for human carcinoma.Some of the studies described in this paper were in partial fulfillment of requirements for the completion of Dr. Irvine's dissertation at the George Washington University 相似文献

Experiments were carried out to investigate the ability of rabbit anti-idiotype antibodies (Ab2), directed against an anti-human cytomegalovirus monoclonal antibody (Ab1), to induce neutralizing antibodies specific for the immunodominant glycoprotein B viral complex. Mice immunized with Ab2 produced anti-Ab2 (Ab3) that was both antigen and idiotype specific with regard to Ab1. We conclude that the Ab2 antibodies mimicked a neutralizing epitope and acted as a network antigen for inducing a specific anti-human cytomegalovirus antibody response in this experimental system. 相似文献

Inhibition of transformed T cell growth in vitro by monoclonal antibodies directed against distinct activating molecules 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Stimulatory of antigen-specific murine T cell hybridomas with the appropriate antigen has been shown to cause lymphokine secretion and inhibition of spontaneous cell growth. In this study, the effect of cellular activation on the growth of transformed T cells, of known or unknown antigen specificity, was explored with stimulatory monoclonal antibodies (mAb) that recognize nonclonally distributed T cell surface molecules. Anti-CD3 antibodies stimulated interleukin 2 (IL-2) secretion while they inhibited murine and human T cell tumor growth in vitro. Both responses required external cross-linking of the anti-CD3 antibodies. Activation via two molecules that are not physically associated with the T cell antigen receptor, Thy-1 and Ly-6, also inhibited transformed T cell growth while inducing IL-2 secretion. Notably, an anti-Thy-1 mAb that did not cause the transformed T cells to secrete lymphokines failed to affect their growth, and in fact blocked the growth inhibition induced by the stimulatory mAb. Regardless of which stimulating mAb was used, IL-2 production and cell growth were inversely proportional, manifesting similar antibody dose-response curves. Activation of a T cell hybridoma with stimulatory mAb resulted in rapid lysis, as evidenced by the release of 51Cr and lactate dehydrogenase. Cell cycle analysis demonstrated that cellular activation was accompanied by a cell cycle block between the G1 and S phases, and probably a slowing of the transit of cells already in S. These results demonstrate that the growth of a spectrum of neoplastic T cells, murine and human, can be inhibited by what are normally growth-promoting signals for non-transformed T cells. 相似文献

Characteristic properties of the antigens recognized by sperm-immobilizing monoclonal antibodies (SI-mAbs) from different sources were compared by ELISA competitive inhibition assay, Western blot analysis, chromatographic analysis, and enzymatic digestion studies. Among 9 SI-mAbs, human mAb H6-3C4 and three mouse mAbs--2C6, 2B6, and 2E5--also possessed strong sperm-agglutinating activity. Binding of human mAb H6-3C4 to sperm was strongly inhibited by the three mouse mAbs (2C6, 2B6, and 2E5), but not by the rat or the other four mouse mAbs. SDS-PAGE revealed that mAb H6-3C4 and three mouse mAbs recognized the same antigen molecules of 15-25 kDa present in both sperm extracts and seminal plasma. Chemical treatments with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and sodium metaperiodate destroyed the antigen determinants recognized by the above four mAbs, as detected by both ELISA and antibody absorption tests. Western blot analysis revealed that the antigens were susceptible to treatments with papain, proteinase K, and N-glycanase, but resistant to trypsin, V8 protease, and thermolysin. These results indicate that one of the major antigens recognized by mAbs with sperm-immobilizing action may be a sperm membrane-associated glycoprotein of 15-25 kDa and the epitope may involve N-linked oligosaccharides. 相似文献

The biochemical characteristics are described for a melanoma-associated glycoprotein antigen, whose expression depends on stage of tumor progression and melanocytic differentiation. This antigen, identified using a monoclonal antibody which specifically stains melanoma cells in immunoperoxidase assay of fixed tissue sections, is synthesized as a 30,000-Da precursor and then processed to a 30,000- to 60,000-Da sialylated glycoprotein. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of the antigen resolved more than 20 forms, heterogeneous in both charge and molecular weight. The kinetics of post-translational processing, the sensitivity of processing to tunicamycin, and the molecular weight of the oligosaccharide chains indicate that the oligosaccharides are N-linked. Amino acid sequencing of the antigen purified by immunoaffinity chromatography and by high-pressure liquid chromatography or polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis allowed the assignment of the first 20 acids. 相似文献

Production of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) using genetic immunisation is a potential alternative when purified antigen is difficult to obtain, or when induction of an antibody response to a limited part of an antigen is wanted. DNA immunisation using only the constant parts of trout immunoglobulin light chains coding regions was attempted here, because mAbs against the variable (V) part of immunoglobulins do not recognise the whole repertoire of the isotype. After positive results with the light chains and establishing of a proper screening system (ELISA), generation of monoclonal antibodies against trout T cell receptor was also performed.The DNA constructs were used both for immunisation of mice and for protein expression in EBNA 293 cells. Mice were immunised with the constructs 3-5 times by intramuscular injection, with or without adjuvants during 1-3 months. Spleens of positive mice were fused with myeloma Sp2/0 cells and clones were screened by ELISA using double-screening (recombinant protein/trout cells).MAbs 46E5 (anti-IgL2C), 4F2 (anti-TCRalpha), 18B3 (anti-TCRalphaC) and 4E5 (anti-TCRalphaC) show specific binding to its antigen in Western blot, mAb 18B3 and 7H7(anti-TCRalpha) shows specific staining of trout splenocytes in flow cytometry and mAb 7H7 induces proliferation of trout peripheral blood leucocytes (PBL) in vitro. 相似文献

Isolation of a high affinity scFv from a monoclonal antibody recognising the oncofoetal antigen 5T4 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

The oncofoetal antigen 5T4 is a 72 kDa glycoprotein expressed at the cell surface. It is defined by a monoclonal antibody, mAb5T4, that recognises a conformational extracellular epitope in the molecule. Overexpression of 5T4 antigen by tumours of several types has been linked with disease progression and poor clinical outcome. Its restricted expression in non-malignant tissue makes 5T4 antigen a suitable target for the development of antibody directed therapies. The use of murine monoclonal antibodies for targeted therapy allows the tumour specific delivery of therapeutic agents. However, their use has several drawbacks, including a strong human anti-mouse immune (HAMA) response and limited tumour penetration due to the size of the molecules. The use of antibody fragments leads to improved targeting, pharmacokinetics and a reduced HAMA. A single chain antibody (scFv) comprising the variable regions of the mAb5T4 heavy and light chains has been expressed in Escherichia coli. The addition of a eukaryotic leader sequence allowed production in mammalian cells. The two 5T4 single chain antibodies, scFv5T4WT19 and LscFv5T4, described the same pattern of 5T4 antigen expression as mAb5T4 in normal human placenta and by FACS. Construction of a 5T4 extracellular domain-IgGFc fusion protein and its expression in COS-7 cells allowed the relative affinities of the antibodies to be compared by ELISA and measured in real time using a biosensor based assay. MAb5T4 has a high affinity, K(D)=1.8x10(-11) M, as did both single chain antibodies, scFv5T4WT19 K(D)=2.3x10(-9) M and LscFv5T4 K(D)=7.9x10(-10) M. The small size of this 5T4 specific scFv should allow construction of fusion proteins with a range of biological response modifiers to be prepared whilst retaining the improved pharmacokinetic properties of scFvs. 相似文献

Nocardia brasiliensis is a facultative intracellular microorganism that produces a human chronic infection known as actinomycetoma. Human and mouse anti- N. brasiliensis antibody response identify P24, P26 and P61 immunodominant antigens. In this work, we generated immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific to immunodominant P61 antigen. The monoclonal IgM (NbM1) and IgG2a (NbG1) antibodies were assessed for their in vitro bactericidal activity, in vivo protective effect and ability to block catalase activity. These mAbs specifically recognized P61, but they did not inhibit its enzyme activity. The in vitro bactericidal effect of NbG1 was higher than the killing ability of the IgM mAb. In vivo experiments with a murine model of experimental infection with N. brasiliensis injected into rear footpads was used to test the effect of NbM1 and NbG1. The negative untreated group developed a chronic actinomycetoma within 4 weeks. IgM mAbs conferred protection to BALB/c mice infected with N. brasiliensis . IgG mAb lacked this protective effect. IgM mAb showed a dose–response correlation between antibody concentration and lesion size. These results demonstrate that humoral immune response mediated by antigen-specific IgM antibody protects against an intracellular bacterial infection. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies that inhibit IgE binding 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

Four monoclonal antibodies were produced that inhibit IgE binding to the high affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon R) on rat basophilic leukemia cells. The four monoclonal antibodies (mAb) fall into two groups. The first group was comprised of 3 antibodies (mAb BC4, mAb CD3, and mAb CA5) that reacted with the Fc epsilon R at epitopes close or identical to the IgE-binding site. With 125I-labeled antibodies there was reciprocal cross-inhibition between the antibodies and IgE. The antibodies activated both RBL-2H3 cells and normal rat mast cells for histamine release. The 3 antibodies immunoprecipitated the previously described alpha, beta, and gamma components of the receptor. The number of radiolabeled Fab fragments of 2 of these antibodies bound per cell was similar or equal to the number of IgE receptors. In contrast, the mAb BC4 Fab bound to 2.1 +/- 0.4 times the number of IgE receptor sites. Therefore, the portion of the Fc epsilon R exposed on the cell surface must have two identical epitopes and an axis of symmetry. These 3 monoclonal antibodies recognize different but closely related epitopes in the IgE-binding region of the Fc epsilon R. The fourth monoclonal antibody (mAb AA4) had different characteristics. In cross-inhibition studies, IgE and the other 3 monoclonals did not inhibit the binding of this 125I-labeled monoclonal antibody. The number of molecules of this antibody bound per cell was approximately 14-fold greater than the Fc epsilon R number. This monoclonal antibody caused the inhibition of histamine release and it appears to bind to several cell components. 相似文献

In mammals, gamete recognition and sperm binding to the oocyte are mediated by the zona pellucida (ZP), an acellular coat surrounding the plasma membrane of the oocyte that consists of particular ZP proteins. The ZP2 protein mediates secondary sperm binding to the ZP. Its primary structures are highly conserved as revealed by cDNA cloning. In the present study, we investigated the localization of ZP2 in human and bovine ovaries and oocytes and the influence of monoclonal anti-ZP2 peptide antibodies upon bovine sperm-egg interactions. We generated a monoclonal anti-ZP2 synthetic peptide antibody, mAb ZP2-20, against a sequence that is strongly conserved in the mammalian ZP2 amino acid sequence. Specificity of mAb ZP2-20 was determined by ELISA and immunoblotting, respectively. Our results show that mAb ZP2-20 specifically detected the peptide used as an antigen and reacted with its corresponding protein antigen in human and bovine ovaries. In order to elucidate effects of mAb ZP2-20 upon bovine sperm-ZP binding, we used the competitive hemizona assay (cHZA) and found that the antibodies clearly inhibit sperm binding to the ZP. We conclude that (i). monoclonal antibodies against ZP2 peptides react with ZP proteins present in bovine and human ovaries and can be used as a specific marker for ZP2; and that (ii). mAb ZP2-20 detects a ZP2 epitope that is of functional relevance for sperm-ZP interactions. 相似文献

In vitro stimulation of human lymphocytes were studied in connection with cell fusion. When splenic lymphocytes were stimulated with human cytomegalovirus (CMV), they produced IgG but not IgM antibody against CMV. The stimulation with 50 ng/ml of CMV antigen induced the maximum antibody response, and higher concentrations of CMV antigen decreased antibody response and increased nonspecific IgG production. Human splenic lymphocytes were stimulated for 6 days with CMV antigen (50 ng/ml) and/or B-cell growth factor (BCGF), and then fused with mouse myeloma cells. Stimulation with a combination of antigen and BCGF were able to generate CMV-specific hybridomas synergistically. Two of these hybridomas were cloned by limiting dilution. The human monoclonal antibodies produced by them, C1 and C23, bound to CMV but not to other herpesviruses. C23 neutralized virus infectivity C1 did not at all. This method for generation of hybridomas producing human monoclonal antibodies against a predefined antigen may be applicable to a variety of viral antigens. 相似文献

A series of heavy chain isotype switch-variant anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) was used to study the proliferation requirements of purified T cells. None of the variant antibodies was able by itself to induce proliferation. In the presence of exogenous interleukin 2 (IL-2) strong mitogenesis was observed upon stimulation with epsilon-anti-CD3, whereas gamma 1, gamma 2b, gamma 2a, and alpha-anti-CD3 failed to induce T cell proliferation. All variant antibodies induced vigorous proliferation in combination with phorbol myristate acetate. Purified T cells, cultured in the presence of epsilon-anti-CD3, in the absence of IL-2, did not express detectable amounts of TAC-antigen (CD25). The binding of the variant antibodies to the CD3 antigen was evaluated in cross-blocking experiments. It was demonstrated that the epsilon-anti-CD3 antibody, in comparison with the other variant mAb, has a relatively low avidity for the CD3 antigen. In modulation experiments, the IgE variant antibody was unable to induce a substantial loss of CD3 antigen. T cell triggering was investigated at the level of Ca2+ mobilization by means of the dye Indo-1. In contrast to the gamma 1, gamma 2b, gamma 2a, and alpha mAb, which induced a rapid and high rise in the free intracellular calcium level, epsilon-anti-CD3 caused a slow and low rise. These studies indicate that the epsilon-anti-CD3 antibody has a low avidity for the CD3 antigen, compared with the other variant mAb, possibly as a result of monovalent binding. Apparently, the avidity and/or valency of CD3 antigen binding not only has a major influence on CD3 modulation and anti-CD3-induced Ca2+ mobilization, but also sets T cell requirements for IL-2 responsiveness. 相似文献

Antibodies to components of sperm can interfere with sperm function and prevent fertilization by blocking specific steps of gamete interaction. It can be proposed that anti-idiotype antibodies (anti-Ids) that recognize determinants located close to or within the antigen-binding site of an anti-sperm antibody could block antibody binding to sperm antigen and antibody-mediated inhibition of fertilization. To test this hypothesis, rabbit polyclonal antibodies to idiotypic determinants of the monoclonal anti-sperm antibody M42.15 were developed and characterized. Previous studies demonstrated that M42.15 monoclonal antibody (mAb) inhibits fertilization in vitro and in vivo by inhibiting sperm-zona pellucida interaction. Anti-idiotype antibodies to M42.15 mAb (anti-Id M42) were isolated by affinity chromatography on immobilized M42.15 mAb. Binding specificity of anti-Id M42.15 was demonstrated in a solid-phase radioimmune binding assay and by specific immunoprecipitation of soluble M42.15 mAb. Anti-Id M42 competitively inhibited M42.15 mAb, but not P220.2 mAb, binding to mouse sperm, confirming that the anti-Id preparation contained antibodies directed against idiotopes within or adjacent to the antigen-binding site of the mAb. At equimolar concentrations, anti-Id M42 inhibited binding of 125I-labeled M42.15 mAb to sperm by greater than 80%. These results showed that anti-Id M42 efficiently blocked antibody binding to sperm and suggested that anti-Id M42 could be used to neutralize the anti-fertility activity of the M42.15 mAb. When tested in in vitro fertilization assays, anti-Id M42, but not rabbit immunoglobulin, prevented M42.15 mAb-induced inhibition of fertilization. Together, these results show that the inhibitory activity of anti-sperm antibodies capable of interfering with gamete interaction can be neutralized by anti-Id that recognize determinants close to the antigen-combining site of the anti-sperm antibody. 相似文献

Antibody directed to the O-specific polysaccharide (Ps) side chain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPS provides immunotype-specific protection against infection by virtue of enhancing opsonophagocytosis. We have developed a syngeneic anti-idiotypic antibody (mAb2) directed to a functionally active monoclonal immunotype 1 Ps-antibody (mAb1). The mAb2 performed as a molecular mimic of Ps as evidenced by 1) blocking of mAb1/mAb2 interaction by Ps, 2) blocking of mAb1/Ps binding by mAb2, 3) cross-species binding of mAb2 to human Ps antibodies from individuals immunized with the same immunotype 1 Ps, and 4) induction of anti-LPS antibody by immunization with mAb2 in syngeneic mice. Our studies thus show that an anti-idiotypic antibody may functionally mimic the O-polysaccharide of P. aeruginosa LPS, and bind to cross-reactive Id present in human Ps antibodies. We have further shown that this anti-idiotypic antibody induces anti-LPS antibody when used as an Ag in syngeneic mice, suggesting that this approach may eventually be used to successfully immunize humans. 相似文献

Duffy antigen/receptor for chemokines (DARC) is a glycosylated seven-transmembrane protein acting as a blood group antigen, a chemokine binding protein and a receptor for Plasmodium vivax malaria parasite. It is present on erythrocytes and endothelial cells of postcapillary venules. The N-terminal extracellular domain of the Duffy glycoprotein carries Fy(a)/Fy(b) blood group antigens and Fy6 linear epitope recognized by monoclonal antibodies. Previously, we have shown that recombinant Duffy protein expressed in K562 cells has three N-linked oligosaccharide chains, which are mainly of complex-type. Here we report a one-step purification method of Duffy protein from human erythrocytes. DARC was extracted from erythrocyte membranes in the presence of 1% n-dodecyl-β-D-maltoside (DDM) and 0.05% cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CHS) and purified by affinity chromatography using immobilized anti-Fy6 2C3 mouse monoclonal antibody. Duffy glycoprotein was eluted from the column with synthetic DFEDVWN peptide containing epitope for 2C3 monoclonal antibody. In this single-step immunoaffinity purification method we obtained highly purified DARC, which migrates in SDS-polyacrylamide gel as a major diffuse band corresponding to a molecular mass of 40-47?kDa. In ELISA purified Duffy glycoprotein binds anti-Duffy antibodies recognizing epitopes located on distinct regions of the molecule. Results of circular dichroism measurement indicate that purified DARC has a high content of α-helical secondary structure typical for chemokine receptors. Analysis of DARC glycans performed by means of lectin blotting and glycosidase digestion suggests that native Duffy N-glycans are mostly triantennary complex-type, terminated with α2-3- and α2-6-linked sialic acid residues with bisecting GlcNAc and α1-6-linked fucose at the core. 相似文献

Rat monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies (mAb2) were raised against two mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAb1), 1D10 and 2A6, with specificity for the M-like protein of Streptococcus equi. The capacity of the mAb2 to inhibit the binding between the corresponding mouse mAbl against which the mAb2 were raised and the M-like protein was investigated in an inhibition EIA. One of the ten mAb2 examined, namely 5D1 (anti-mAb1 1D10), was able to inhibit this binding. The mAb2 5D1 bound to the mAb1 1D10 in such a way as to completely inhibit the subsequent binding of the M-like protein antigen to the paratope of the mAb1 1D10. The mAb2 5D1 is likely to represent a true image of the M-like protein antigen and may thus be described as an Ab2β anti-idiotype antibody. 相似文献
