Comparative analysis of LAG3 antibodies shows differential binding patterns by flow cytometry
Background
LAG3 is an immune checkpoint molecule with emerging therapeutic use. Expression of LAG3 is well studied on T cells, but the proportion of LAG3-expressing cells varies greatly by study and its comparative expression between non-T cells is lacking.
Methods/objectives
This study uses flow cytometry to compare surface LAG3 expression between T cells, NK cells, B cells, pDCs and monocytes of healthy donors. This study also compares three monoclonal LAG3 antibodies to a commonly used polyclonal LAG3 antibody on ex vivo and PHA-blasts from healthy donors and LAG3+ and LAG3- cell lines.
Results
LAG3 was most highly expressed on classical and intermediate monocytes (25 % and 32 %, respectively), while LAG3 expression on B cells, NK cells and iNKT cells was negligible. Notably, the polyclonal antibody stained a higher proportion of all cell types than the monoclonal antibodies, which had similar staining patterns to one another. Further study using LAG3+ and LAG3- cell lines showed greater specificity and similar sensitivity of the monoclonal antibody T47–530 than the polyclonal antibody.
Conclusion
Monocytes may represent an unappreciated source of LAG3 and target of LAG3 checkpoint inhibitors. Furthermore, the discrepancies between monoclonal and polyclonal LAG3 antibodies warrants consideration when designing future studies and interpreting past studies, and may explain discrepancies in the literature.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Immunological Methods is devoted to covering techniques for: (1) Quantitating and detecting antibodies and/or antigens. (2) Purifying immunoglobulins, lymphokines and other molecules of the immune system. (3) Isolating antigens and other substances important in immunological processes. (4) Labelling antigens and antibodies. (5) Localizing antigens and/or antibodies in tissues and cells. (6) Detecting, and fractionating immunocompetent cells. (7) Assaying for cellular immunity. (8) Documenting cell-cell interactions. (9) Initiating immunity and unresponsiveness. (10) Transplanting tissues. (11) Studying items closely related to immunity such as complement, reticuloendothelial system and others. (12) Molecular techniques for studying immune cells and their receptors. (13) Imaging of the immune system. (14) Methods for production or their fragments in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
In addition the journal will publish articles on novel methods for analysing the organization, structure and expression of genes for immunologically important molecules such as immunoglobulins, T cell receptors and accessory molecules involved in antigen recognition, processing and presentation. Submitted full length manuscripts should describe new methods of broad applicability to immunology and not simply the application of an established method to a particular substance - although papers describing such applications may be considered for publication as a short Technical Note. Review articles will also be published by the Journal of Immunological Methods. In general these manuscripts are by solicitation however anyone interested in submitting a review can contact the Reviews Editor and provide an outline of the proposed review.
