OKT3 possesses potent immunosuppressive properties in vivo and has been proven effective in the treatment of renal, heart and liver allograft rejection. Despite its efficacy, significant problems remain associated with OKT3 therapy, i.e. T-cell activation and the anti-murine antibody response. To address the problem of the anti-murine antibody response we have constructed humanized versions of OKT3. One of the humanized derivatives, gOKT3-7 incorporating the OKT3 complementarity determining regions plus a small number of alterations to the human framework, has an affinity of 1.4 x 10(9) M-1 compared with 1.2 x 10(9) M-1 for the murine OKT3. A humanized antibody (gOKT3-1) incorporating only the CDRs from OKT3 was found to be functionally inactive, confirming the requirement for nonCDR substitutions. gOKT3-7 retains the ability of mOKT3 to induce T cell proliferation in vitro and appears to be a good candidate for further development for in vivo therapy.","PeriodicalId":77166,"journal":{"name":"Human antibodies and hybridomas","volume":"5 1-2 1","pages":"41-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3233/HAB-1994-51-206","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69906319","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}

In particular, nearly 10% of the hybridomas obtained from fetal liver produced antibodies binding to lipid A (endotoxin). Among the IgM antibodies with anti-bacterial specificities approximately 30% were found to be polyspecific, i.e. these antibodies recognized auto-antigens of different molecular origin as well (ssDNA, keratin, myosin, actin).

In both cell lines, copy number and steady state levels of heavy chain and selectable marker increased during selection and were further increased during amplification. As expected, an increase in steady state mRNA levels of heavy chain correlated with an increase in expression of antibody whilst an increase in the steady state levels of mRNA of the selectable marker correlated with increased resistance to the selective agent. In NSO and CHO cells producing equivalent amounts of antibody, the copy number of the antibody genes and selectable marker was significantly higher in the CHO cells than in the NSO cells.
