Anti-Tac is a monoclonal antibody that appears to recognize the interleukin-2 receptor. With the use of a frozen-section immunoperoxidase technic, a large series of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas were investigated for the presence of Tac-antigen on neoplastic cells. Approximately one-fourth of cases expressed the Tac antigen, including 27% of B-lineage lymphomas, 6% of the T-lineage lymphomas, and three of four cases of Ki-1-expressing lymphoma. The B-lineage lymphomas with the highest incidence of Tac antigen expression were the large cell lymphomas, both diffuse and follicular, where about one-half of cases expressed the Tac antigen. All major categories of lymphoma expressed Tac except plasma-cytoma/myeloma, small noncleaved cell (Burkitt's and non-Burkitt's), and lymphoblastic malignancies. 相似文献

In a series of 55 cases of B cell derived non-Hodgkin's lymphoma the reactivity of two distinct anti-Tac monoclonal antibodies was examined using a sensitive immunoperoxidase technique on cryostat sections. Eighteen out of the thirty-five cases of B cell lymphomas of low or intermediate grade of malignancy were found to be reactive while six out of 20 cases of high-grade malignancy lymphomas showed a positive immunostaining. No correlation was found between anti-Tac reactivity and surface immunoglobulin phenotype, T65 antigen, or calla expression. These findings showed that IL2 receptor expression is not restricted to activated T cells, and raise the question of the possible role of IL2 in the regulation of malignant B cell clone expansion. 相似文献

Three drugs were assayed for their capacity to inhibit hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) production by the PLC/PRF/5 human hepatoma cell line. The effect on cell growth and HBsAg production of Cordycepin, 6-azauridine, and Hygromicin B is reported. Hygromicin B, a translation inhibitor unable to penetrate normal cells, greatly reduced HBsAg production by growing and confluent cells. 相似文献

Modulation of the expression of Tac antigen (T-cell growth factor response) on human thymocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This study shows that anti-Tac antibody does not bind to human thymocytes unless they are activated. Human thymocytes could be induced to express Tac antigen (TCGF receptor) on their cell surface by Concanavalin A. B lymphoblastoid cells or 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate alone did not induce TCGF receptors, but they did exert a very marked synergistic effect with Concanavalin A. This observation is consistent with our earlier finding that B lymphoblastoid cells secrete a factor which exerts a synergistic effect on the induction of lymphokine secretion by thymocytes and T-cells. The early expression of Tac antigen was independent of thymocyte proliferation. Anti-Tac antibody (10(-3)) inhibited the expression of TCGF receptors and late proliferation of thymocytes. TCGF did not reverse this inhibition nor did it prevent the binding of Tac antibody, but it enhanced the expression of Tac antigen. 相似文献

Antigen specific human antibody responses can be modulated in vitro by the addition of 4F2 antibody, a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) which recognizes an antigen on activated T cells and B cells. Specific antibody responses induced with the antigen are suppressed by the addition of 4F2. However, specific antibody responses induced with the polyclonal activator, pokeweed mitogen (PWM), are significantly enhanced by the addition of 4F2. Proliferative responses to both antigen and PWM are suppressed by the addition of 4F2. The enhancement of PWM stimulated responses by 4F2 is mediated by T cells. However, in the absence of T cells, 4F2 can directly inhibit antigen specific B cells. Polyclonal Ig production stimulated by PWM was also enhanced by 4F2. Thus, the immunomodulating effects of the 4F2 MoAb are the result of a balance of enhancement and suppression mediated at the T cell and the B cell level, respectively. 相似文献

The Tac antigen (p55, CD25) is a 55 kDa glycoprotein that binds interleukin 2 at low affinity (Kd congruent to 10-50 nM). Expression of the Tac antigen is induced in the activated human T cells to constitute the functional, high-affinity IL-2 receptors (IL-2Rs) (Kd congruent to 10 pM) in conjunction with p70-75. A monoclonal antibody, anti-Tac, recognizes this molecule and inhibits the binding of IL-2 to both high- and low-affinity IL-2Rs. This observation indicates that IL-2 and anti-Tac binding sites are located close to each other within the Tac molecule. In this report, by utilizing a novel approach, we selected cDNAs encoding the Tac antigen variants whose reactivity with anti-Tac is greatly reduced, while retaining their IL-2 binding activity. Each of the mutant cDNAs contained a point (G----A) mutation resulting in an amino acid substitution at the particular amino-terminal portion of the Tac molecule (Asp-4). These results demonstrate that N-terminal amino acid Asp-4 is involved in the epitope recognized by anti-Tac, and that IL-2 binding site and anti-Tac binding site are structurally separable from each other in the Tac molecule. 相似文献

We generated monoclonal antibodies after immunization of mice with rabbit liver-specific protein (LSP) preparations. One of these antibodies (2D3) showed an organ-specific and species-specific binding pattern as determined by immunohistological and ELISA techniques. Immunoelectron microscopy studies demonstrated that this antibody is bound exclusively to the liver cell membrane except in the region of the bile canaliculi. We further describe a simple ELISA technique for the detection of anti-LSP antibodies. Our study clearly demonstrates the presence of at least 1 organ-specific liver cell membrane antigen in rabbit LSP and shows antigenic differences between areas of the plasma membrane of hepatocytes. 相似文献

A variant of the human neuroblastoma cell line, IMR-5, was selected by a series of treatments with the monoclonal antibody PI153/3 and complement. The variant, M-1, was not reactive by either cytotoxicity or binding assays with the PI153/3 antibody or with two other monoclonal antibodies that were selected on the basis of their inhibition of PI153/3 binding. Although no antigen could be detected on the cell surface or in the supernatant of the variant cell line, a reduced level of binding could be detected in M1 cell extracts compared to extracts of IMR5. The variant cell line did not differ from IMR5 in its sensitivity in lysis by other antibodies, in its lack of expression of HLA antigens, or in its capacity to form tumors in nude mice. 相似文献

A murine monoclonal antibody has been produced which identifies a novel human leucocyte differentiation antigen. The antibody, designated WM-66, of IgM subclass, was cytolytic with human complement. WM-66 was shown to react with virtually all normal T and B lymphocytes from peripheral blood and lymphoid tissues, as well as blood monocytes and approximately 40% of bone marrow mononuclear cells. The antibody also bound to the majority of cases of chronic B-cell malignancies, including chronic lymphatic leukaemia and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, but not to cases of acute leukaemia or to the majority of leukaemic and lymphoblastoid cell lines. WM-66 also reacted with epithelium of bronchus and salivary gland ducts. A single band of relative molecular mass 65,000 Daltons was immunoprecipitated from membrane extracts of normal lymphocytes and the B-cell line Daudi. Treatment of a number of WM-66-negative B-cell lines with neuraminidase resulted in WM-66 binding, indicating that the antigen exists in a covert form masked by sialic acid residues on a wider spectrum of cell types than was initially apparent. The reactivity pattern of WM-66 indicates that it recognises a previously undescribed surface membrane molecule with broad non-lineage-specific distribution on leucocytes. This has recently been confirmed at the Fourth International Workshop on Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens. Although the biological function of the molecule recognised by WM-66 is unknown, the lytic properties of the antibody suggest a possible in vivo therapeutic role as an immunosuppressant or for treatment of lymphoid malignancy. 相似文献

Hairy cell leukaemia (HCL) is a chronic lymphoproliferative disease of B-cell lineage. One of the peculiar immunophenotypic markers is the strong expression of the p55 chain of the interleukin-2 receptor (IL2R), recognized by anti-CD25 (or anti-Tac) monoclonal antibody. However, it is known that in rare cases CD25 may not be detectable, even when variant forms of HCL are excluded. The possibility has not been investigated that in these situations CD25 is present in the cytoplasm of the neoplastic cells. This paper describes a case in which the clinical, histological, and electron microscopic features were consistent with a typical HCL. Immunophenotype analysis showed the whole spectrum of markers of HCL, except for the expression of IL2R. The soluble form of the molecule was, however, increased in the patient's serum. Cytospin staining of the neoplastic B cells with anti-CD25 clearly demonstrated the presence of IL2R in the cytoplasm of hairy cells. When the cells were cultivated in vitro in the presence of interferon-α2b, CD25 was detectable at the membrane level. These findings suggest that at least some cases of CD25-negative HCL may express cytoplasmic IL2R. 相似文献

A prospective study was performed comparing the fluorescent antibody to membrane antigen (FAMA) test and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for identifying susceptibility and seroconversion to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection. A total of 75 sera were collected from index cases and from sibling and parent contacts in 10 families. Varicella-zoster virus-infected human diploid embryonic fibroblasts and continuous lymphoblastoid cells (Raji cells) were compared as indicator cells in the FAMA test. Equivalent results were obtained with both types of cell. Results of the FAMA test and the ELISA were identical in two ways. (i) The same 11 individuals were initally defined as susceptible (seronegative), and 9 of them (82%) developed fourfold rises in antibody titers, clinical varicella, or both. (ii) Of 21 immune (seropositive) individuals, 4 developed fourfold antibody rises by FAMA tests, and 3 of these 4 responded by ELISA. Infection was asymptomatic in these individuals. The geometric mean titer by ELISA was significantly higher than by the FAMA test. The results indicated that the ELISA and the FAMA test have similar capacities to define susceptibility to varicella-zoster virus and that subclinical infection with varicella-zoster virus may be common. 相似文献

It was the aim of this study to design mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) that can inhibit the invasion of breast cancer cells in the host tissue. Therefore, MAbs were raised against epitopes on the extracellular domain of SK-BR-3 human breast cancer cells, and biological assays were performed to test the capability of the MAbs to inhibit cell substrate adhesion. MAb 14C5 bound an extracellular plasma membrane antigen of SK-BR-3 and MCF-7 human breast cancer cells and inhibited the cell substrate adhesion of these cells in vitro. The MAb delayed the adhesion of MCF-7 and SK-BR-3 cells on precultured embryonic heart fragments (PHFS). It inhibited the destruction of the PHF by MCF-7 cells and the invasion of the PHF by SK-BR-3 cells. The MAb reacted with an epitope on the cell membrane of in situ and invasive ductal carcinomas of the breast in immunohistochemistry. Poorly differentiated, highly invasive ductal carcinomas show extensive staining of long plasma membrane extensions. Normal multilayered epithelia, normal connective tissue, and tumors derived from these tissues as well as normal breast tissue were negative. From both cell lines a protein complex consisting of two subunits with molecular weight of 50 and 90 kd, respectively, was immunoprecipitated. It is concluded that the 14C5 antigen plays a role in cell substrate adhesion and subsequently also in invasion of breast cancer cells. The 14C5 MAb was able to inhibit cell substrate adhesion and invasion in vitro of breast cancer cells. 相似文献

This study determined the effects of neuropeptides and neuroendocrine hormones at the cellular level of the immune response using a murine macrophage cell line, J774, which exhibits a chemiluminescent oxidative burst acute with stimulation with zymosan. We report that the zymosan-triggered oxidative burst of J774 cells can be modulated by the opioid peptides β-endorphin β-END and dynorphin A (DYN) in a naloxone-reversible fashion. Norepinephrine (NE) also modulated chemiluminescence (CL) emission of J774 cells, with dose-dependent suppression of CL dependent upon co-incubation with γ-interferon (γ-INF). Without γ-INF co-incubation, NE shared with the opioid peptides β-END and DYN the ability to modulate oxidative burst, producing an inverted-U dose response. These data indicate the J774 cells may be useful for explaining some mechanisms through which the neuroendocrine system interacts with the immune system. 相似文献

T cell antigen receptors (TCRs) on the surface of T cells bind specifically to particular peptide bound major histocompatibility complexes (pMHCs) presented on the surface of antigen presenting cells (APCs). This interaction is a key event in T cell antigen recognition and activation. Most studies have used surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to measure the in vitro binding kinetics of TCR-pMHC interactions in solution using purified proteins. However, these measurements are not physiologically precise, as both TCRs and pMHCs are membrane-associated molecules which are regulated by their cellular environments. Recently, single-molecule f?rster resonance energy transfer (FRET) and single-molecule mechanical assays were used to measure the in situ binding kinetics of TCR-pMHC interactions on the surface of live T cells. These studies have provided exciting insights into the biochemical basis of T cell antigen recognition and suggest that TCRs serially engage with a small number of antigens with very fast kinetics in order to maximize TCR signaling and sensitivity. 相似文献

Signalling through the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) is required for peripheral B lymphocyte maturation, maintenance, activation and silencing. In mature B cells, the antigen receptor normally consists of two isotypes: membrane IgM and IgD (mIgM, mIgD). Although the signals initiated from both isotypes differ in kinetics and intensity, in vivo, the BCR of either isotype seems to be able to compensate for the loss of the other, reflected by the mild phenotypes of mice deficient for mIgM or mIgD. Thus, it is still unclear why mature B cells need expression of mIgD in addition to mIgM. In the present paper, we used the B cell line Bcl1 and investigated the isotype-specific antigen internalization in dependence of co-stimulation of the reciprocal isotype and analysed whether the signal initiated from mIgM is modulated through signalling from mIgD and vice versa. We clearly showed that cross-linkage of mIgM decreases the rate of mIgD mediated antigen internalization and interpret this influence as a unilateral mIgM mediated control on signals initiated at mIgD. 相似文献

Two genotype-specific fluorogenic RT-PCR assays were developed for the detection and quantitation of canine coronavirus (CCoV) type I and type II RNA in the faeces of dogs with diarrhoea. Both the fluorogenic assays showed high specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility, allowing a precise quantitation of CCoV type I and type II RNA over a linear range of about eight orders of magnitude (from 101 to 108 copies of standard RNA). Comparison with genotype-specific gel-based RT-PCR assays revealed that the fluorogenic assays were more sensitive and more rapid than conventional amplifications, with a large increase in throughput. The genotype-specific fluorogenic assays were then used to detect and measure viral loads in the faecal samples collected from dogs naturally or experimentally infected with type I, type II, or both genotypes. Of 174 samples collected from naturally infected dogs, 77 were positive for CCoV type I and 46 for CCoV type II. Thirty-eight dogs were found to be infected naturally by both genotypes, with viral RNA titres generally higher for type I in comparison to type II. At the same time, dogs infected experimentally shed type I RNA with higher titres with respect to type II. 相似文献

A B-cell line (C1B2) secreting monoclonal IgG antibody to influenza virus haemagglutinin (HA3) was obtained by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformation of human tonsillar B cells activated in vitro to influenza A/X31. Antibody secretion by C1B2 was completely inhibited by purified HA3 at concentrations above 100 ng/ml. By contrast, high doses of HA3 had no effect on EBV-transformed B-cell lines making antibody of unrelated specificity. Inhibition of specific antibody secretion by HA3 continued for at least 3 days after the removal of soluble antigen, but this could be partially reversed by treatment with pronase, suggesting that inhibition was due to 'effector cell' blockade by binding of antigen to surface Ig receptors. T cells pulsed with high doses of antigen also suppressed antibody secretion by C1B2, but this effect was probably due to a tolerogenic signal delivered to the B cell by HA3 complexed to the T-cell membrane rather than suppression by antigen-induced Ts, or carryover of free antigen. These experiments demonstrate two independent mechanisms of high-dose tolerance in vitro, and show that monoclonal B-lymphoblastoid lines of known specificity can be used to study regulation of specific antibody production at the level of the B cell. 相似文献
