The IgG fraction of human anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) obtained from a patient with Wegener's granulomatosis was used as immunogen to raise AECA mAb in mice selected among those which developed vasculitis-like lesions after immunization. Three mAb (BGM, 3C8 and 7G2), selected by cyto-ELISA and flow cytometry analyses, featured a specific reactivity with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and the mouse endothelial cell line H5V; on the contrary, HEp2 cells, the murine melanoma B16 cell line, the extracellular matrix as well as several other antigens tested were not recognized. BGM mAb, an IgG3 precipitating a 70 kDa structure from HUVEC, was able to induce endothelial cells to secrete amounts of IL-6 significantly higher than irrelevant controls or mAb binding different endothelial antigens (i.e. CD31, CD29, ICAM-1 and HLA class I). BGM mAb induced significant levels of antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (13 +/- 2.5 versus 0.6 +/- 0.03%). To the best of our knowledge, BGM is the first murine mAb specific for human endothelial cells generated by idiotypic manipulation; secondly, its biological properties further support the notion of a pathogenic role for AECA in autoimmune-mediated diseases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D007130 Immunoglobulin Idiotypes Unique genetically-controlled determinants present on ANTIBODIES whose specificity is limited to a single group of proteins (e.g., another antibody molecule or an individual myeloma protein). The idiotype appears to represent the antigenicity of the antigen-binding site of the antibody and to be genetically codetermined with it. The idiotypic determinants have been precisely located to the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGION of both immunoglobin polypeptide chains.

D011233 Precipitin Tests Serologic tests in which a positive reaction manifested by visible CHEMICAL PRECIPITATION occurs when a soluble ANTIGEN reacts with its precipitins, i.e., ANTIBODIES that can form a precipitate. Precipitin Test,Test, Precipitin,Tests, Precipitin

D003602 Cytotoxicity, Immunologic The phenomenon of target cell destruction by immunologically active effector cells. It may be brought about directly by sensitized T-lymphocytes or by lymphoid or myeloid "killer" cells, or it may be mediated by cytotoxic antibody, cytotoxic factor released by lymphoid cells, or complement.

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.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
