单克隆抗体博来霉素A6偶联物对白血病细胞特异性结合与内化

抗CCT2单克隆抗体博来霉素A6偶联物可吸附胶体金颗粒(McAb-A6-Au)。电镜观察表明,在4℃,1h,表面有McAb-A6-Au颗粒的CEM细胞最高达78%;在37℃,4h,内化McAb-A6-Au颗粒的CEM细胞高达72%。而抗原性无关的U937细胞仅为14%。并且McAb-A6-Au颗粒能直接穿过细胞膜、核膜进入细胞浆和细胞核。37℃,1h已有10～18%的CEM细胞核内有McAb-A 6-Au颗粒。实验结果提示了单抗与博来霉素A6的偶联物与选择性地结合靶细胞,而且进入细胞速度快、穿透力强,有可能成为治疗白血病药物。     

Clonal evolution in B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia by contemporaneous VH-VH gene replacements and VH-DJH gene rearrangements

B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), more frequently than any other B-lineage neoplasm, exhibits oligoclonal Ig heavy chain (IgH) gene rearrangement in 15% to 43% of all cases studied. To study the molecular processes that promote multiple IgH rearrangements, a comprehensive sequence analysis of a B-ALL case was performed in which seven clonal IgH gene rearrangements were identified. The genetic profiles suggested that a single leukemic progenitor clone evolved into several subclones through dual processes of variable (VH) to preexisting diversity-joining (DJH) gene segment rearrangement and VH to VH gene replacement. Predominant IgH-V usage and the uniquely rearranged clonotype-specific VHDJH region gene sequences were identified using a novel DNA-based gene amplification strategy. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was directed by an IgH-J generic primer and a complement of family-specific IgH-V primers that defined the major B-cell IgH-V gene usage. Clonality of rearranged VHDJH bands was substantiated by high resolution denaturant gel electrophoretic analysis. Sequence patterns of the amplified VHDJH fragments segregated into two groups defined by common DJH sequences. Partial N region homology at the VHD junction as well as shared DJH sequences firmly established VH to VHDJH gene replacement as a mechanism generating clonal evolution in one group. In the second subset, oligoclonality was propagated by independent VH gene rearrangements to a common DJH precursor. The contributions of all clonal Ig-VHDJH repertoires for each group was approximately 50% and reflected a symmetric distribution of leukemic subclones generated by either process. Thus, oligoclonal rearrangements evolved by two independent, yet seemingly contemporaneous molecular genetic mechanisms. All seven clones displayed nonfunctional Ig-VHDJH recombinations. These observations may have relevance to the recombinatorial opportunities available during normal B-cell maturation.
