Autoantibodies to oxidation-specific epitopes of low density lipoprotein (LDL), such as malondialdehyde-modified LDL (MDA-LDL), occur in plasma and atherosclerotic lesions of humans and animals. Plasma titers of such antibodies are correlated with atherosclerosis in murine models, and several such autoantibodies have been cloned. However, human-derived monoclonal antibodies to epitopes of oxidized LDL (OxLDL) have not yet been reported. We constructed a phage display antibody library from a patient with high plasma anti-MDA-LDL titers and isolated 3 monoclonal IgG Fab antibodies, which specifically bound to MDA-LDL. One of these, IK17, also bound to intact OxLDL as well as to its lipid and protein moieties but not to those of native LDL. IK17 inhibited the uptake of OxLDL by macrophages and also bound to apoptotic cells and inhibited their phagocytosis by macrophages. IK17 strongly immunostained necrotic cores of human and rabbit atherosclerotic lesions. When (125)I-IK17 was injected intravenously into LDL receptor-deficient mice, its specific uptake was greatly enriched in atherosclerotic plaques versus normal aortic tissue. Human autoantibodies to OxLDL have important biological properties that could influence the natural course of atherogenesis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007140 Immunoglobulin Fab Fragments Univalent antigen-binding fragments composed of one entire IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAIN and the amino terminal end of one of the IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS from the hinge region, linked to each other by disulfide bonds. Fab contains the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGIONS, which are part of the antigen-binding site, and the first IMMUNOGLOBULIN CONSTANT REGIONS. This fragment can be obtained by digestion of immunoglobulins with the proteolytic enzyme PAPAIN.

D008077 Lipoproteins, LDL A class of lipoproteins of small size (18-25 nm) and light (1.019-1.063 g/ml) particles with a core composed mainly of CHOLESTEROL ESTERS and smaller amounts of TRIGLYCERIDES. The surface monolayer consists mostly of PHOSPHOLIPIDS, a single copy of APOLIPOPROTEIN B-100, and free cholesterol molecules. The main LDL function is to transport cholesterol and cholesterol esters to extrahepatic tissues.

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.
