Complement-Mediated Hemolysis by Subunits of IgM Antibody

IgM抗體小單元對補體作用產生之溶血

摘要


兔子對抗二硝基醛(Dinitrophenol)的免疫球蛋-M(Immunoglobulin M, IgM)抗體是用專一元提煉法從抗血清分離出來。IgM抗體含有五個相同的小單元(Subunit)經由雙硫鍵(Disulfide bond)環連起來。這種小單元稱的IgMs,利用暖和的還原作用(Reduction)及烴化作用(Alkylation)使雙硫鍵體折斷而把IgMs彼此分散開來,然後這些散開的IgMs小單元再用重複凝膠濾過法(Gel filtration)把鏈間雙硫鍵(Inter chain disulfide bond)完整及折斷的IgMs再彼此分離出來。定量測定結果顯示這兩種IgMs都具有與補體(Complement)作用產生之溶血能力(Hemolytic Activity)。不過,這些鏈間雙硫鍵完整的IgMs之溶血能力只有原來IgM抗體之溶血能力之二千分之一,同時約相等於IgG抗體之溶血能力。鍵間雙硫鍵折斷之IgMs的溶血能力又比鏈間雙硫鍵完整的IgMs要小2.5倍。

IgMs* subunits with intact inter-μ chain disulfide bonds were isolated from specifically purified rabbit IgM anti-DNP antibody after mild reduction and alkylation, and separated from IgMs with broken inter-μ chain disulfide bonds by recycling gel filtration on Sepharose-4B. Quantitative measurements of the ability of these subunits to mediate hemolysis by complement show that both are hemolytically active. The hemolytic activity of the IgMs with intact inter-μ chain disulfide bonds is comparable to that of specifically purified IgG anti-DNP antibody, and is about 2,000 times less than that of intact IgM antibody. Loss of the inter-μ chain disulfide bonds leads to a further 2.5-fold reduction in activity.
