Immunogenicity of polyethylene glycol-modified superoxide dismutase and catalase. 1986

M L Nucci, and J Olejarczyk, and A Abuchowski

Modification of proteins with polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been shown to result in a decrease in immunogenicity. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase were modified with PEG and used to immunize mice. Antibody titers against the antigens were determined by ELISA. Mice immunized with PEG-SOD had antibody titers 0.03%-0.07% of that seen in mice with SOD, while mice immunized with PEG-catalase developed titers 0.02%-0.09% of that seen in mice with catalase. The modified enzymes retained the ability to react with preformed antibodies to the unmodified antigens. Antibodies to SOD reacted equally well with the PEG-SOD or SOD antigen. Antibodies to catalase reacted to PEG-catalase but at only 0.02% of the reaction with catalase antigen. In reciprocal studies, antisera against the PEG-proteins failed to react to an appreciable level with the corresponding unmodified protein. Modification with PEG resulted in a decrease in immunogenicity of both SOD and catalase.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011092 Polyethylene Glycols Polymers of ETHYLENE OXIDE and water, and their ethers. They vary in consistency from liquid to solid depending on the molecular weight indicated by a number following the name. They are used as SURFACTANTS, dispersing agents, solvents, ointment and suppository bases, vehicles, and tablet excipients. Some specific groups are NONOXYNOLS, OCTOXYNOLS, and POLOXAMERS.

D002374 Catalase An oxidoreductase that catalyzes the conversion of HYDROGEN PEROXIDE to water and oxygen. It is present in many animal cells. A deficiency of this enzyme results in ACATALASIA. Catalase A,Catalase T,Manganese Catalase,Mn Catalase
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.

D005260 Female Females
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D000906 Antibodies Immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the ANTIGEN (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially PLASMA CELLS).
D000918 Antibody Specificity The property of antibodies which enables them to react with some ANTIGENIC DETERMINANTS and not with others. Specificity is dependent on chemical composition, physical forces, and molecular structure at the binding site. Antibody Specificities,Specificities, Antibody,Specificity, Antibody

D013482 Superoxide Dismutase An oxidoreductase that catalyzes the reaction between SUPEROXIDES and hydrogen to yield molecular oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. The enzyme protects the cell against dangerous levels of superoxide.
