Title: | Immunopurification of functional Asp-ase (natural killer cell granzyme B) using a monoclonal antibody. | Austin Authors: | Trapani, Joseph A;Browne, K A;Dawson, M J;Smyth, Mark J | Affiliation: | Cellular Cytotoxicity Laboratory, Austin Research Institute, Austin Hospital, Heidelberg, Australia | Issue Date: | 15-Sep-1993 | Publication information: | Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications; 195(2): 910-20 | Abstract: | Enzymatically active granule-associated serine protease ("granzyme") B has been purified from human NK cell lysates, using novel granzyme B-specific monoclonal antibodies. Two antibodies, designated 2C5 and 1D10, were produced following immunization of BALB/c mice with a nineteen amino acid peptide synthesized according to the sequence deduced from a granzyme B cDNA clone. Of several peptide-reactive culture supernatants that resulted from cell fusion of splenocytes with NS-1 myeloma cells, clones 2C5 (IgG2a) and 1D10 (IgG1) produced antibodies which detected a approximately 32kDa molecule in human NK cell lysates by Western blotting. This reactive species was detectable in lysates of IL-2-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells, the human NK leukemia cell line YT, the rat NK leukemia cell line RNK-16, but not in the mouse cytotoxic T cell line CTLL-R8 or a variety of non-cytolytic hemopoietic tumor cell lines. The specificity of reactivity with granzyme B was demonstrated by the reaction of the monoclonal antibody with active granzyme in the lysate of COS-7 cells transfected with human granzyme B cDNA, but not with granzyme H expressed in an identical fashion. Western blotting on Percoll-fractionated IL-2 activated human peripheral blood lymphocyte lysates and YT demonstrated reactivity of the monoclonal antibody with a approximately 32kDa species only in those fractions with granzyme A (BLT esterase) and B (Asp-ase) activities. Moreover, 2C5/1D10 antibodies coupled to Protein A-sepharose beads immunoprecipitated enzymatically active granzyme B from YT cell lysates. Scale up of this procedure should yield a means of purifying the large quantities of natural or recombinant granzyme B required to study the function of this granzyme in cellular cytotoxicity. | Gov't Doc #: | 8373425 | URI: | http://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/13342 | DOI: | 10.1006/bbrc.1993.2131 | Journal: | Biochemical and biophysical research communications | URL: | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8373425 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | Amino Acid Sequence Animals Antibodies, Monoclonal Antigen-Antibody Complex.isolation & purification Blotting, Western Cloning, Molecular Electrophoresis, Polyacrylamide Gel Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay Granzymes Humans Killer Cells, Natural.enzymology Leukemia Leukemia, Experimental Mice Molecular Sequence Data Molecular Weight Peptides.chemical synthesis.immunology Rats Recombinant Proteins.biosynthesis.immunology.isolation & purification Serine Endopeptidases.biosynthesis.immunology.isolation & purification Transfection Tumor Cells, Cultured |
