چکیده

A monoclonal antibody, 9.2.27, with a high specificity for human melanoma cell surfaces has been utilized for biosynthetic studies in M21 human melanoma cells to define a unique antigenic complex consisting of a 250-kilodalton N-linked glycoprotein and a high molecular weight proteoglycan component larger than 400 kilodaltons. The 250-kilodalton glycoprotein has endoglycosidase H-sensitive precursors and shows a lower apparent molecular weight after treatment with neuraminidase. The biosynthesis of the proteoglycan component is inhibited by exposure of M21 cells to the monovalent ionophore monensin, this component can be labeled biosynthetically with 35SO4, is sensitive to beta-elimination in dilute base, and is degraded by both chondroitinase AC and ABC lyases, suggesting that it is a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan. These data demonstrate that the antigenic determinant recognized by monoclonal antibody 9.2.27 is located on a glycoprotein-proteoglycan complex which may have unique implications for the interaction of glycoconjugates at the human melanoma tumor cell surface.

A Novel mAb against a Human CD34 Peptide Reacts with the Native Protein on CD34+ Cells

Background: Human CD34 is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed in human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and the small- vessel endothelial cells of a variety of tissues. CD34 plays a critical role as a marker for diagnosis and classification of leukemia. Anti CD34 antibodies are used for isolation and purification of HSCs from bone marrow, peripheral blood and cord blood. Objective: ...

Monoclonal antibody-directed effector cells selectively lyse human melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo.

Monoclonal antibody 9.2.27 (mAb 9.2.27) directed to a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan on human melanoma cells was able to suppress tumor growth in athymic (nu/nu) mice more effectively when bound with polyethylene glycol to murine effector cells than when injected alone. These "armed" effector cells also proved more effective than the monoclonal antibody in eliciting antibody-dependent cellula...

CD38 MOLECULE-A MULTILINEAGE GLYCOPROTEIN AND ITS UNIQUE EXPRESSION ON PLASMA CELLS

A hybridoma clone designated 6G5 has been selected by fusion of mouse myeloma cell line Ag. 8653 with spleen cells from mice immunized with human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The antibody produced by this clone was found to be strongly reactive with four human B-cell lines in the conventional immunological assays. Despite the fact that expression of most B cell-associated mar...

Monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies to human melanoma-associated proteoglycan antigen: generation and characterization of anti-idiotype antibodies.

We have characterized a number of monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies (mAb2s) made against a monoclonal antitumor antibody, MEM136. The monoclonal antibody 1 (mAb1) MEM136 recognizes an epitope on human melanoma-associated proteoglycan and blocks melanoma cell interaction with basement membrane components in vitro. The anti-idiotype antibodies (Ab2s) made against MEM136 each cross-inhibited, to...

Release of monoclonal antibody-defined antigens by human colorectal carcinoma and melanoma cells.

Many but not all of the cell surface antigens studied were released into tissue culture medium of human colorectal carcinoma and melanoma cells maintained in vitro. Two groups of monoclonal antibody-defined antigens are described. One group is composed of molecules that are released easily and in large quantitites into the tissue culture milieu. In this group, four glycolipid antigens of colon ...
