The immunological reactivity of the uracil DNA glycosylase was investigated in three Epstein-Barr virus-transformed human lymphoblastoid cell lines. Two were derived from normal human lymphocytes while the third was derived from a Bloom's syndrome patient. A panel of 3 anti-human placental uracil DNA glycosylase monoclonal antibodies (37.04.12, 40.10.09 and 42.08.07) was used. Immunological reactivity was determined in a double-blind enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); by inhibition of enzyme activity; and by immunoblot analysis. In the ELISA, the glycosylase from each lymphoblastoid cell line was recognized by glycosylase antibodies 37.04.12 and 42.08.07. In contrast, antibody 40.10.09 failed to recognize the glycosylase from the Bloom's syndrome cell line. Further analysis demonstrated that the 40.10.09 antibody was unable to inhibit catalysis by the Bloom's syndrome lymphoblast glycosylase. In contrast, the 40.10.09 antibody inhibited the activity of the two normal human lymphoblast enzymes. Denaturation of the Bloom's syndrome lymphoblast glycosylase rendered that protein immunoreactive with the 40.10.09 antibody. These results demonstrated that: (1) the immunological alteration in the Bloom's syndrome uracil DNA glycosylase was detected in hematopoietic cells; and (2) viral transformation did not affect the immunoreactivity of the enzyme from either normal human or Bloom's syndrome cells.

D001816	Bloom Syndrome	An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by telangiectatic ERYTHEMA of the face, photosensitivity, DWARFISM and other abnormalities, and a predisposition toward developing cancer. The Bloom syndrome gene (BLM) encodes a RecQ-like DNA helicase.

D002461	Cell Line, Transformed	Eukaryotic cell line obtained in a quiescent or stationary phase which undergoes conversion to a state of unregulated growth in culture, resembling an in vitro tumor. It occurs spontaneously or through interaction with viruses, oncogenes, radiation, or drugs/chemicals.	Transformed Cell Line,Cell Lines, Transformed,Transformed Cell Lines
D004797	Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay	An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D045647	DNA Glycosylases	A family of DNA repair enzymes that recognize damaged nucleotide bases and remove them by hydrolyzing the N-glycosidic bond that attaches them to the sugar backbone of the DNA molecule. The process called BASE EXCISION REPAIR can be completed by a DNA-(APURINIC OR APYRIMIDINIC SITE) LYASE which excises the remaining RIBOSE sugar from the DNA.
