The affinities are in the range of 1.1 x 10(-7) approximately 2.4 x 10(-9) M; the affinities of two IgM clones could not be estimated because of their low enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay (ELISA) signal. Each clone was constructed as single-chain Fv (scFv) and expression was performed in E. coli. Four clones out of 8 could express scFv soluble to culture media and the expression was confirmed further by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and immunoblotting. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of V(H) and V(L) of four scFvs were deduced and their family and subgroup were analyzed. We found that the clones that do not express the scFv have aberrant kappa chain (incorrect V/J recombination or stop codon); in contrast, their heavy chain sequences proved correct. The E. coli-expressed scFvs showed 1.5 x 3.4-fold lower affinities (2.8 x 10(-8) approximately 3.6 x 10(-9) M) than those of hybridoma-derived parental antibodies except the one clone (C5), which exhibited approximately 10(-6) M of affinity.","PeriodicalId":55044,"journal":{"name":"Hybridoma","volume":"20 4 1","pages":"265-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/027245701753179857","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60500446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) revealed that each MAb bound to different antigenic determinants of AIF, but there is the same epitope between PHC AIF and placental AIF. Sandwich-type ELISA was developed to measure the concentration of serum AIF in the patients with PHC, chronic hepatitis, and cirrhosis. In most of cases of PHC, serum AIF levels were found to be significantly elevated, but were in low levels in almost all of the patients with chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis. On the other hand, we have studied the expression of AIF in liver tissue. Immunohistochemical study using MAb4c9 specific for PHC AIF and MAb7a9 specific for placental AIF has shown that AIF positive staining rates of hepatocytes with liver tissues of PHC, nonmalignant live diseases and normal control were 81.6, 6.7, 0%, and 73.7, 10, 0%, respectively. We also studied the p53 protein expression in those liver tissues (47.4, 0, 0% in PHC, nonmalignant liver diseases and normal liver, respectively). Our data indicated that there was significant correlation between AIF and p53 expression in liver tissues of PHC. Taken together, the results suggested that AIF is probably synthesized and secreted by the tumor cells of PHC and its production may reflect carcinogenesis of hepatocytes. Anti-PHC AIF MAb was clearly superior in diagnosis of PHC to antiplacental AIF MAb, and has potential application of immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":55044,"journal":{"name":"Hybridoma","volume":"20 4 1","pages":"243-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1089/027245701753179820","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60500529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ability of galectin-3 to protect cells from apoptosis is dependent upon a region of the protein known as a BH-1 domain for its homology to the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2. Here, we show that a monoclonal antibody (MAb) to the human tumor suppressor protein p16INK4A recognizes a post-translationally modified form of human galectin-3. The modified form is detectable in only a subset of cell types expressing galectin-3, indicating that the modification is cell-type-specific. Although there is little amino acid sequence homology between p16INK4a and galectin-3, we show by epitope mapping that the modification directly affects the structure of galectin-3's BH-1 domain.

Unfortunately, relatively few antibodies are available because of the difficulty in obtaining sufficient cells for in vivo immunization strategies. We have overcome this problem by using intrasplenic immunization with formaldehyde-fixed cells harvested from neural crest cultures. In addition, booster injections of cultured whole-embryo cells were administered intraperitoneally. Following two fusions, a total of 18 hybridomas were generated with antibody reactivity to the cytoplasm of neural crest cells. Furthermore, 32 were reactive against both somite (a noncrest mesodermal control) and crest cultures, whilst 15 were not reactive. Out of those hybridomas reactive with neural crest, six designated 160D, 164D, OE, 12E, 120E and 124E were further characterized. Interestingly MAb supernatants OE, 12E, 120E, and 124E exhibited reactivity against some but not all neural crest cells suggesting that they might recognise subpopulations. Immunoglobulin isotyping of supernatants revealed that 4 (160D, 164D, OE, and 120E) were IgM and 2 (12E and 124E) were IgG(2b). On assessing their reactivity against human tissue sections, all six hybridoma supernatants cross-reacted with neuroendocrine cells within appendix, colon and rectum.

Therefore, novel therapeutic strategies with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are being explored for delivering chemotherapy or radiation directly to malignant cells. Recently, anti-CD33 antibodies have been engineered to target malignant myeloid and immature normal cells and have been used to deliver cytotoxic agents or radiation to leukemic cells. 131I-labeled anti-CD45 antibodies are used in combination with conventional chemotherapy in leukemic patients receiving marrow transplantation. Additionally, the emergence of Rituximab (against CD20) and Campath-1H (against CD52) for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has provided encouraging clinical results for the prognosis of this disease. In conclusion, there has been ongoing research indicating that the approach of patients with leukemia through the application of MAbs might be safer and more effective than current treatment.
