We have investigated the biological properties of an immune complex composed of recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) and an F(ab')2 fragment of a monoclonal antibody against rIL-2 in mice for the induction of killer cells and anti-tumor activity, as well as the pharmacokinetic properties of the immune complex injected subcutaneously into mice. The immune complex demonstrated sustained serum rIL-2 levels, with a 2.4-times longer "mean-residence-time" than free rIL-2. A more significant portion of rIL-2 was detected in lymph nodes after the subcutaneous injection of the immune complex than with rIL-2 alone. Splenic lymphocytes from mice given the immune complex showed higher killer cell activity against YAC-1 and P815 cells than those from mice given rIL-2 alone. The immune complex also exerted a more significant anti-tumor effect in a dose-dependent manner in Meth-A fibrosarcoma-bearing mice than dit rIL-2 alone.

D007074 Immunoglobulin G The major immunoglobulin isotype class in normal human serum. There are several isotype subclasses of IgG, for example, IgG1, IgG2A, and IgG2B. Gamma Globulin, 7S,IgG,IgG Antibody,Allerglobuline,IgG(T),IgG1,IgG2,IgG2A,IgG2B,IgG3,IgG4,Immunoglobulin GT,Polyglobin,7S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgG,GT, Immunoglobulin
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.

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.

D005354 Fibrosarcoma A sarcoma derived from deep fibrous tissue, characterized by bundles of immature proliferating fibroblasts with variable collagen formation, which tends to invade locally and metastasize by the bloodstream. (Stedman, 25th ed) Fibrosarcomas
