In vitro comparison of the biologic activities of monoclonal monomeric IgA, polymeric IgA, and secretory IgA.

چکیده
Secretory IgA (S-IgA), a major humoral mediator of mucosal immunity, is a polymeric Ig containing an unusual extra polypeptide, secretory component (SC), added during transcytosis through epithelial cells. Polymeric S-IgA is more effective than monomeric IgA (mIgA) and IgG in neutralizing viruses. It is not known whether this increased efficacy is due solely to the polymeric structure of the molecule or whether SC itself makes S-IgA more efficient; a quantitative in vitro comparison of the biologic activities of S-IgA and pIgA has not been reported. We prepared purified pIgA and mIgA mAbs directed toward the H1 hemagglutinin of PR8 influenza virus and purified monoclonal S-IgA (made from monoclonal pIgA injected into a Lewis rat and collected as S-IgA from bile) and compared their abilities to carry out hemagglutination inhibition (HI) and neutralization of the infectivity of PR8 influenza virus in vitro. The polymeric Igs (pIgA and S-IgA) were 5 times more effective than mIgA in HI and 7 to 10 times more effective than mIgA in virus neutralization. Addition of SC to pIgA did not modify its ability to mediate HI and had only a minimal effect (S-IgA was 1.4 times more effective) on its ability to neutralize influenza virus in vitro. Trypsin preincubation partially abolished mIgA- or pIgA-mediated, but not S-IgA-mediated, viral neutralization. Thus, although S-IgA is more stable functionally than pIgA, the addition of SC does not influence, positively or negatively, the biologic activity associated with the Fab of S-IgA.

Brie£ Dehnitive Report Secretory Component as the Receptor for Polymeric Iga on Rat Hepatocytes
The rapid and active transport of polymeric IgA from the blood to the bile (1, 2) is selective (3, 4), which suggests the existence of a specific receptor for this molecule. The liver cells responsible for the transfer have been identified as the hepatocytes by autoradiography and electron microscopy of the livers o f rats killed 5, 30, and 60 min after the injection of radiolabeled IgA (5). 5 ...

متن کاملMonoclonal secretory immunoglobulin A protects mice against oral challenge with the invasive pathogen Salmonella typhimurium.
Hybridomas producing monoclonal immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies against Salmonella typhimurium were generated by mucosal immunization of BALB/c mice with attenuated strains of S. typhimurium and subsequent fusion of Peyer's patch lymphoblasts with myeloma cells. To test the role of secretory IgA (sIgA) in protection against Salmonella sp., we analyzed in detail the protective capacity of a mo...
متن کاملComparison of Salivary Secretory IgA in Caries-free Children and Children with Severe Early Childhood Caries
Background & Aims: Sever early childhood caries (SECC) is a multifactor common disease that unfortunately there have been a lot of unknown points about it. This study was performed to compare the levels of total S-IgA in children with and without SECC. Methods: In this cross-sectional study 44 children aged 6-24 months were divided into two groups of with SECC (n=20) and without SECC (n=24). Th...
