Lymphocyte activation by monovalent fragments of antibodies reactive with cell surface carbohydrates
Antibodies reactive with cell surface carbohydrates were isolated from normal chicken serum and were found to be mitogenic for mouse splenic lymphocytes as assayed by both blast transformation and [3H]thymidine incorporation. The Fab' fragments of these carbohydrate-binding immunoglobulins were just as mitogenic as the divalent native antibody. Moreover, succinylated Fab' fragments, which proba...
متن کاملAntibodies reactive with cell surface carbohydrates.
Normal and immune sera from various animal species were fractionated on columns of Sepharose covalently coupled with the glycoprotein fetuin. Elution of the material bound to fetuin yielded low but reproducible amounts of protein, ranging from 0.02 to 0.2% of the protein mass of the input sera. This material has been identified by immunoelectrophoresis in agar and by zone electrophoresis on cel...
متن کاملActivation of B lymphocytes by monovalent anti-Lyb-2 antibodies
Although activation of B lymphocytes by antigen or anti-Ig antibody has been shown to require cross-linking of surface Ig molecules, cross-linking is not necessary for B cell activation by anti-Lyb-2 monoclonal antibody (MAb). Monovalent Fab' fragments of anti-Lyb-2 MAb are as effective as the intact antibody in inducing blast cell transformation of small B cells and B cell proliferation in the...
متن کاملMonovalent fragments (Fab) of monoclonal antibodies to a sporozoite surface antigen (Pb44) protect mice against malarial infection
Monoclonal antibodies (IG1, k) directed against a surface component of Plasmodium berghei sporozoites (Pb-44) confer complete protection to mice against a lethal inoculum of parasites. The degree of protection is a function of the number of parasites used in the challenge and of the antibody concentration in serum. Passive transfer of 10 micrograms of antibody per mouse abolished or profoundly ...
متن کاملExpression of cell surface markers after human B lymphocyte activation.
The fate of two recently described human B lymphocyte-specific antigens (B1 and B2) was studied after B-cell activation in vivo and in vitro. Whereas both B1 and B2 were present on virtually all B cells from normal lymph nodes, B2 was absent from approximately 50% of B cells from hyperplastic lymph nodes. When B cells from spleen, tonsil, or peripheral blood were stimulated in vitro with pokewe...
