Neutralizing and nonneutralizing monoclonal antibodies to the human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor alpha-chain.

چکیده
A panel of monoclonal antibodies was raised against the low-affinity human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) receptor alpha-chain expressed as recombinant protein on murine FDC-P1 cells. All the selected antibodies were of the IgG2A isotype and bound to protein A. They each recognized both native and recombinant receptors by indirect surface immunofluorescence and by immunoprecipitation. Several of the antibodies also recognized presumably denatured receptors as detected by immunoblotting of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Three different epitopes on the extracellular domain of the GM-CSF receptor alpha-chain were defined by these antibodies, and two of the epitopes did not appear to be involved in binding hGM-CSF or in interactions with the beta-chain of the GM-CSF receptor that are required for high-affinity binding of GM-CSF. On the other hand, the epitope recognized by antibody 2B7-17-A appeared to be critically involved in the binding of GM-CSF because this antibody completely abrogated both high- and low-affinity binding of GM-CSF to native and recombinant receptors. Antibody 2B7-17-A had a relatively high affinity for the GM-CSF receptor alpha-chain (kd = 3 nmol/L) and slow dissociation kinetics (kd = 0.002 min-1). These properties made the 2B7-17-A antibody a potent inhibitor of hGM-CSF biologic action in several different bioassays, with a half-maximal inhibitory dose of about 6 nmol/L (1 microgram/mL). This antibody could prove useful in alleviating any pathologic states mediated by excess GM-CSF levels and in defining the domains of the GM-CSF receptor required for ligand binding.

متن کاملExpression of a Chimeric Protein Containing the Catalytic Domain of Shiga-Like Toxin and Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor (hGM-CSF) in Escherichia coli and Its Recognition by Reciprocal Antibodies
Fusion of two genes at DNA level produces a single protein, known as a chimeric protein. Immunotoxins are chimeric proteins composed of specific cell targeting and cell killing moieties. Bacterial or plant toxins are commonly used as the killing moieties of the chimeric immunotoxins. In this investigation, the catalytic domain of Shiga-like toxin (A1) was fused to human granulocyte macrophage ...
متن کاملIdentification of a functional domain of human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor using neutralizing monoclonal antibodies.
Human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) is a hemopoietic growth factor that is being used successfully to treat various forms of neutropenia. To define functionally important regions of G-CSF, we have prepared 37 monoclonal anti-G-CSF antibodies and mapped the regions of G-CSF recognized by different antibody groups. Antibodies recognizing similar epitopes were identified by competi...

High-affinity receptors for human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-3 (IL-3). and IL-5 are composed of two distinct subunits, a and p. Each receptor has its own ligand-specific a subunit, and the three receptors share the common p subunit, BE. Using a transfectant of NIH3T3 cells expressing the high-affinity human GM-CSF receptor, monoclonal antibodies (MoAb...
