Reactions of murine monoclonal antibodies to blood group MN antigens. 1986

R Rubocki, and F Milgrom

BALB/c mice were immunized by intraperitoneal injections with human blood group substances; 4 mice with M and 4 with N. Immune spleen cells were fused with murine myeloma cells X63-Ag-8.653. Two clones secreting monoclonal anti-M and seven secreting monoclonal anti-N were identified. All antibodies were of IgG1 subclass and had kappa light chains. Three clones have been maintained that produced antibodies useful for typing purposes: anti-M, A09 originating from a mouse injected with M, anti-N, AH7 originating from a mouse injected with N, and anti-N BO10 originated from a mouse injected with M substance. In typing 370 erythrocyte samples, monoclonal reagents gave identical results with commercial anti-M or anti-N typing sera of rabbit origin. Significantly, anti-N reagent AH7 obtained by immunization with N substance showed serological differences from anti-N reagent BO10 obtained by immunization with M substance in that AH7 had apparently higher avidity to N specificity on glycophorin A of N erythrocytes than BO10, whereas BO10 showed higher avidity for 'N' specificity on glycophorin B of M and N erythrocytes than AH7. These two reagents showed also somewhat different patterns of reaction with enzymatically digested erythrocytes. This apparent serologic difference between N and 'N' specificities is at variance with current immunochemical data.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).

D008951 MNSs Blood-Group System A system of universal human blood group isoantigens with many associated subgroups. The M and N traits are codominant and the S and s traits are probably very closely linked alleles, including the U antigen. This system is most frequently used in paternity studies.

D001788 Blood Grouping and Crossmatching Testing erythrocytes to determine presence or absence of blood-group antigens, testing of serum to determine the presence or absence of antibodies to these antigens, and selecting biocompatible blood by crossmatching samples from the donor against samples from the recipient. Crossmatching is performed prior to transfusion. Blood Typing,Crossmatching, Blood,Blood Grouping,Blood Crossmatching,Grouping, Blood,Typing, Blood

D006021 Glycophorins The major sialoglycoprotein of human erythrocyte membranes. It consists of at least two sialoglycopeptides and is composed of 60% carbohydrate including sialic acid and 40% protein. It is involved in a number of different biological activities including the binding of MN blood groups, influenza viruses, kidney bean phytohemagglutinin, and wheat germ agglutinin.

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.
