چکیده

To broaden the specificity of the Abs recognizing human melanoma-associated Ags (MAAs), we have isolated human single-chain fragment of the V region (scFv) fragments by panning the synthetic phage Ab library (#1) with the human melanoma cell lines S5 and SK-MEL-28. All of the isolated scFv fragments reacted with the mouse mAb defined high molecular weight melanoma-associated Ag (HMW-MAA). scFv #70 immunoprecipitates the two characteristic subunits of HMW-MAA, while scFv #28 only immunoprecipitates its large subunit. These results challenge the current view regarding the structure of HMW-MAA and indicate that it consists of two independent subunits. The human scFv fragments share some similarities with the mouse anti-HMW-MAA mAb. Like mAb 149.53 and 225.28, scFv #28 reacts with rat B49 neural cells that express a homologue of HMW-MAA. scFv #70 reacts with a determinant that is spatially close to the one identified by mAbs 149.53, VT68.2, and VT86. Besides suggesting similarities in the recognition of human melanoma cells by the mouse and human Ab repertoire, these results indicate that the Abs isolated from synthetic Ab libraries resemble those that are found in natural Ab repertoires. The restricted diversity of the scFv fragments that were isolated by panning synthetic Ab libraries with different melanoma cell lines suggests that certain Ags, like HMW-MAA, are immunodominant in vitro. This phenomenon, which parallels the in vivo immunodominance of certain Ags, implies that the antigenic profile of the cells used for panning determines the specificity of the preponderant population of isolated Abs.

Isolation of anti-glutathione antibodies from a phage display library.

We have isolated anti-glutathione antibodies from a human synthetic phage antibody scFv library (Nissim,A., Hoogenboom,H.R., Tomlinson,I.M., Flynn,G., Midgley,C., Lane,D. and Winter,G., 1994, EMBO J., 13, 692-698). Glutathione (GSH) conjugates with carrier proteins, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and human lysozyme (LZM), were used as antigens. After four cy...
