Abstract

The peripheral blood from 38 B-CLL patients was studied by flow cytometry with 25 clustered or not clustered monoclonal antibodies (moAbs) in order to characterize the cell surface phenotype of lymphoid cells. All moAbs were chosen since they detected B or CD1-8 T cell differentiation antigens or MHC class II antigens. The results showed a heterogeneity in the leukemic cell reactivity with the various moAbs and between patients. The restricted B cell antigens recognized by BL14, Y2955 and anti-class II moAbs were constantly expressed in leukemic cells, while B-cell antigens reacting with FMC7 and BL13 moAbs were variably detected. In addition to CD5 antigens, other T cell markers including several epitopes of the CD1 group were also found to be present on the leukemic cell surface in several cases. To further extend these data, 6 cases were selected for labelling with a battery of 6 CD1a, 2 CD1b and 1 CD1c moAbs. These results suggested that CD1a,c epitopes can be detected on leukemic B cells in addition to other T cell differentiation antigens.

ZrO₂@C-based colorimetric/photothermal dual-mode immunosensor coupled with a novel monoclonal antibody for quantification of Aspergillus ochraceus biomass.

Aspergillus ochraceus contaminates agricultural products and produces nephrotoxic, carcinogenic ochratoxin A (OTA), posing severe food safety hazards. A dual-signal lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (dLFIA) based on ZrO₂@C nanoprobes was established for quantitative detection of A. ochraceus biomass. A novel monoclonal antibody (mAb 4B4) was prepared as the capture antibody to immobilize A. ochraceus mycelial lysate antigen on the test line, and a rabbit polyclonal antibody (pAb G2801) as the detection antibody to modify ZrO₂@C composites (synthesized via UiO-66 pyrolysis) into 200 nm colorimetric/photothermal nanoprobes. This dLFIA achieved limits of detection of 0.164 μg/mL (colorimetric) and 0.517 μg/mL (photothermal). This efficient and reliable method allows quantitative analysis of A. ochraceus biomass, which is suitable for routine monitoring of fungal contamination in agro-food matrices.

Expression of cell adhesion molecules at the surface of in vitro human immunodeficiency virus type 1-infected human monocytes: relationships with tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin 1beta, and interleukin 6 syntheses.

Further evidence suggests that cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) expressed on the surface of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected cells are regulated during lentiviral infection. To address this hypothesis we have investigated the kinetic pattern of CAM expression at the surface of HIV-1Ba.L-infected human monocytes during the first 72 hr of infection. A significantly lower expression of CD18 and CD54 as well as a decrease in CD44 expression level were observed at the surface of infected monocytes when compared with mock-infected cultures. No modification of CD11a, CD11b, CD11c, CD58, and CD62L expression was detected. Except for CD18, the expression of which at the cell surface is decreased, no modification of CD44 and CD54 expression was observed after heat-inactivated HIV-1 treatment of monocytes. Investigation of soluble forms of CAMs (sCAMs) and cytokine production in the culture supernatants of infected monocytes showed a peak of sCD44, TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, and IL-6 release between 2 and 24 hr after infection. Treatment of monocytes with monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against CAMs showed that engagement of some CAMs may trigger TNF-alpha and IL-1beta production. In addition, pretreatment of infected monocytes with a TNF-alpha synthesis inhibitor, RP 55778, or with MAbs directed against IL-1beta, confirmed the role of TNF-alpha and IL-1beta in the regulation of CD18, CD44, and CD54 expression.

A metal-induced conformational change and activation of HIV-1 integrase.

Retroviral integrases are composed of three independently folding domains whose organization relevant to one another is largely unknown. As an approach to understanding its structure, we have investigated the effect of the required metal cofactor(s), Mn2+ or Mg2+, on the conformation of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) integrase (IN) using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that are specific for each of these three domains. Upon the addition of increasing concentrations of the divalent cations to immobilized HIV-1 IN in ELISA assays, binding of mAbs specific for either the C-terminal domain or for an epitope in the catalytic core domain was lost, whereas binding of an N terminus-specific mAb was unaffected. Size exclusion chromatography of a nonaggregating derivative of HIV-1 IN showed that the oligomeric state of the protein did not change under conditions in which recognition of the core and C terminus-specific mAbs was lost. Preincubation with Mn2+ increased the resistance of HIV-1 IN to proteolytic digestion and produced a digestion pattern that was significantly different from that observed with the apoprotein. A derivative that lacked the N-terminal domain, IN(50-288), exhibited the same metal-dependent changes observed with the full-length protein, whereas the isolated catalytic core domain IN(50-212) did not. From this we conclude that the metal-induced conformational change comprises a reorganization of the core and C-terminal domains. Preincubation with Mn2+ increased the specific activity of HIV-1 IN 5-fold. Enzymatic activity was inhibited by the conformation-sensitive C terminus-specific mAb, but this inhibition was reduced greatly if the enzyme was first preincubated with metal ions. Thus, it appears that apo-HIV-1 IN exists predominantly in an inactive conformation that is converted into a catalytically competent form upon the addition of metal ions.
