dc.description.abstract | Monoclonal antibodies were prepared against the trisaccharide Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc, a sequence which occurs on the surface of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells as well as in thyroglobulin, laminin and a variety of other proteins. This was accomplished by immunizing BALB/c mice with the fraction of Ehrlich cell membrane glycoproteins obtained by affinity chromatography on a Griffonia simplicifolia I (GS I) column which selectively binds α- d -galactosyl-terminated structures. Detection of Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc-specific antibodies was accomplished by employing glycoproteins containing the trisaccharide sequence; fusion with spleen cells from an immunized mouse was accomplished in the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG1500). An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system was used to identify two clones (2.10G and 6.8E), which recognized the desired trisaccharide conjugate. These clones also recognized a thyroglobulin fraction isolated by GS I affinity chromatography and murine laminin, both of which possess the Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc sequence. Inhibition of antibody-trisaccharide reactivity, examined employing an ELISA assay, revealed that two trisaccharides, Galα1-3Galβ1-4GlcNAc/Glc, were the best inhibitory haptens; Galβ1-4GlcNAc (LacNAc), Galα1-3Gal and Galβ1-4Glc (lactose) were poor inhibitors. Indirect immunofluorescence staining of unfixed Ehrlich cells using the monoclonal antibody at 4° C revealed fluorescence over the entire cell surface. Indirect immunogold labeling of semithin and ultrathin sections of aldehyde fixed and Lowicryl K4M-embedded Ehrlich cells resulted in specific labeling of the cell surface and internal structure. Immunoblot analysis revealed that removal of the α-galactosyl residues of laminin by α-galactosidase abolished reactivity with the monoclonal antibodies. The availability of this antibody, which belongs to the IgM family of immunoglobulins, now makes possible the detection of this sugar sequence on cells and tissue sections, as well as on glycoproteins in solution. | en_US |
