Antibody Class Immunoglobulins--- Ig A, IgD, IgE, IgG, IgM. IgG predominates. The light chains have a variable portion that is different in each type of antibodies and is the active portion of the molecule that bind with the antigens. The light chains and the heavy chains are connected by S-S bond. Soluble in water or dilute salt solution. Antibodies can act independently of the rest of the immune sys. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 4

Classes of Antibodies Five classes of antibodies (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM) can be distinguished by differences in the heavy chain Differences in the heavy chains (the tail regions) impart distinctive functional properties to the classes of antibodies 2013/10/2 Antibodies 5

Classes of Antibodies IgG: Produced during the secondary immune response. Major class secreted into the blood. Activates the complement system. Binds to macrophages and neutrophils inducing phagocytosis. Only antibody to pass from mother to fetus via the placenta. Secreted into the mother s milk. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 6

Classes of Antibodies IgM: First antibody produced by B cells. Membrane bound then secreted into the blood in the primary response. Activates the complement system IgD: Produced by activation of resting B cells. Contains same antigen binding sites as IgM. Membrane bound. Not secreted. Function unknown 2013/10/2 Antibodies 7

Classes of Antibodies IgA: Principle class of antibodies secreted in saliva, tears, milk, respiratory track, and intestines. IgE: The Fc region binds with high affinity to the surface of mast cells in tissues and basophils in blood. Binding of antigen produces allergic reactions 2013/10/2 Antibodies 8

Antibody Production The antigen receptor of a membrane bound antibody molecule is presented on the surface of a resting B cell. Upon activation, B cells proliferate and produce millions of copies of a secreted antibody with the same antigen binding sites. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 9

2013/10/2 Antibodies 10

Antibody Diversity A human can make at least 10 15 antibody molecules. Antibodies are proteins encoded by genes. The human genome is thought to contain less than 10 5 genes. How can a human make more antibodies than there are genes in its genome? 2013/10/2 Antibodies 11

Antibody Diversity During B cell development, separate gene segments are assembled in a genetic recombination event before the gene is transcribed. Experiments done in 1976 showed that the C-coding and V-coding regions on different parts of the chromosome were spliced together. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 12

Combinatorial Diversification In the mouse variable light chain, about 300 different V-regions can be joined to 4 different J segments which are then joined to one C-region. In the mouse variable heavy chain, 500 different V-regions can be joined to 4 J segments and 12 D segments. What is the total number of possible combinations? 2013/10/2 Antibodies 13

Combinatorial Diversification Light Variable Chain: 300 x 4 = 1200 Heavy Variable Chain: 500 x 4 x 12 = 24,000 Total possible combinations: 1200 x 24,000 = 28,800,000 2013/10/2 Antibodies 14

Antibody Structure Consists of four interconnected polypeptide chains. Two heavy chains (H-chains) and joined to two shorter chains (L-chains). These four chains are arranged in the form of a Y ; with the stalk of the Y is called the crystallizable fragment and the top of the Y is known as the antigen-binding fragment. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 18

Hv Lv Lc Hc The amino acid sequence and configuration of an antibody were determined in the 1960s by the biochemists Gerald Edelman, an American, and R.R. porter, An English man; for this achievement they shared the 1972 Nobel Prize for physiology or Medicine. http://www.accessexcellence.org/ab/gg/antibodies.html 2013/10/2 Antibodies 19

Structure of Light & Heavy Chains Heavy Chains Genes encoding the constant regions are similarly designated (Cm, Cd, Cg, Ca, Ce) Any individual of a species makes all 5 types of H chains In any one Ab molecule both H chains are identical Several subclasses IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 IgA1 and IgA2 2013/10/2 Antibodies 31

Ig Structure Variable Region Part that binds to the epitope Determines the numerous individual specificities Greatest variability in sequence in the N-terminal 110 aa of both the L and H chains Kabat and Wu showed there are three regions of the L and H chains that show the greatest amount of variability hypervariable regions Participate in binding with Ag Form the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of the L and H chains Folding brings the the CDR s together Variability in the CDRs provides the diversity in shape and size of the combining site site often takes the form of a cleft or depression thus fit affects affinity and cross-reactivity 2013/10/2 Antibodies 32

Variable Region A particular Ab combining site may have the ability to combine with two or more Ags redundancy Cross-reactivity may reduce the number of different Abs needed to defend an individual against the range of Antigenic challenge 2013/10/2 Antibodies 33

Immunoglobulin Variants Isotypes 5 different classes of Heavy chains Allotypes Genetic differences between individuals Allelic forms of the same protein Allotypic differences at known loci usually involve changes in only one or two aa in the constant region of a chain Idiotypes The combined antigenic determinants (idiotypes) expressed in the variable region of Ab of an individual that are directed at a particular Ag 2013/10/2 Antibodies 34

Antigenic Determinants (Epitopes) The specific site of an antigen that binds to an antibody is called an antigenic determinant or epitope. Most antigens have a variety of epitopes that generate a number of different antibodies that are called polyclonal. A single immune response to an antigen is termed monoclonal. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 36

2013/10/2 Antibodies 37

Antibody-Antigen Interactions Antibodies have two antigen binding sites that are connected by a hinge region to a common tail region. The bivalent nature of antibodies allows for cross-linking of antigens. The hinge region can expand or contract for flexibility in antigen binding. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 38

NATURE OF ANTIGEN-ANTIBODY REACTIONS Lock and Key Concept ---There must be a pretty good fit between the shape of the antigen and shape of the antibody receptorsite. Non-covalent Bonds --- Chemical Bonding( Hydrogen Bonds H-N, H-O) --- Physical Bonding Antibodies are negatively charged whereas antigens are frequently positively charged.( electrostatic) Van der Waals force Hydrophobic Bonding Reversible 2013/10/2 Antibodies 39

AFFINITY AND AVIDITY Affinity - Antibody affinity is the strength of the reaction between a single antigenic determinant and a single combining site on the antibody. Affinity is the equilibrium constant that describes the Ag- Ab reaction Avidity - Avidity is a measure of the overall strength of binding of an antigen with many antigenic determinants and multivalent antibodies. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 40

SPECIFICITY AND CROSS REACTIVITY Specificity - Specificity refers to the ability of an individual antibody combining site to react with only one antigenic determinant or the ability of a population of antibody molecules to react with only one antigen. Cross reactivity - Cross reactivity refers to the ability of an individual antibody combining site to react with more than one antigenic determinant or the ability of a population of antibody molecules to react with more than one antigen. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 41

VI. Antibody (Ab) Microarray A complete microarray-based system for profiling protein expression in biological samples; used to compare two biological samples to measure the relative differences in protein expression. The microarray consists of hundreds of monoclonal antibodies covalently bound in an ordered layout to a glass slide. A protein which can be synthesized in pure form by a single clone (population) of cells. These antibodies can be made in large quantities and have a specific affinity for certain target molecules called antigens which can be found on the surface of cells and those that are malignant. The array can be used as a means to correlate specific proteins with physiological or pathological process of interest, by comparing hundreds of proteins at a time. It is used for toxicity testing, disease investigation, and drug discovery. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 80

Factors affecting measurement of Ag/Ab reactions Affinity Avidity Ag:Ab ratio Physical form of the antigen http://www.med.sc.edu:85/mayer/ab-ag-rx.htm 2013/10/2 Antibodies 81

Ab Array Procedure Extraction of total cellular protein from biological samples of interest (eg. Serum samples). Labeling of extracted protein with fluorescent dyes Cy5 and Cy3 (direct labeling, direct labeling with hapten tag, paired Ab sandwich assay). Removal of unbound dye. Incubation of labeled protein with the array. Scanning of the array and the analysis of the results. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 82

This procedure is a fluorescence-based analysis; covalently immobilized antibodies are used to capture fluorescently labeled antigens. They do not measure absolute concentrations- instead they provide a relative measure of protein abundance [i.e. the abundance of protein in one sample as compared to another sample]. As part of array development, all antibodies are printed and tested against their specific purified antigen (when available) and against cell lines and tissues samples (for quality control). A reference pool is also used, and similar to the gene expression microarrays, a pool of equal aliquots from each sample to be measured is used, thus ensuring that all proteins from the samples are represented in the reference. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 83

Enzyme linked immusorbent assay (ELISA) 2013/10/2 Antibodies 85

Direct Labeling (w/ hapten tag) A convenient method to measure multiple proteins in a complex mixture. All proteins are labeled with either a fluorophore or a hapten tag such as biotin. Advantages: Only one captured antibody per target is required, as compared to the next method- easier to expand detection to new targets for which matched antibody pairs may not be available. Can label different samples with different tags and to co-incubate the samples on the same arrays. Disadvantages: Potential for a high background: all proteins are labeled from the sample, including high concentration proteins such as albumin in serum; nonspecific binding or adsorption of these proteins to Ab could cause interference reduce detection sensitivity or data accuracy. Potential for disruption of antibody-antigen interactions if the labeling reaction severely alters an antigen s binding site. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 86

A. Direct Labeling B. Direct Labeling with a hapten tag. C. Paired Ab sandwich assays. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 87

Dual Antibody Sandwich Antibodies spotted onto microarray substrates capture specific antigens, and a cocktail of detection antibodies, each antibody matched to one of the spotted antibodies, is incubated on the arrays. Advantages: Quantification of the bound detection antibodies provides a measure of each antigens abundance. Sandwich assays are more sensitive than the direct labeling method because background is reduced through the specific detection of two antibodies instead of one. Disadvantages: The development and validation of assays measuring many targets in parallel is difficult because of the cross reactivity and precipitation when using many detection antibodies. 2013/10/2 Antibodies 88
