Anti-native and recombinant myeloperoxidase monoclonals and human autoantibodies

Abstract: SUMMARYMyeloperoxidase (MPO) is one of the main antigen targets of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) in systemic vasculitides. It has been suggested that anti-MPO antibodies may recognize a single epitope on recombinant MPO. If confirmed on native MPO, this might allow specific therapeutic intervention with anti-idiotypic MoAbs to prevent antibody-antigen interaction which is thought to cause activation of neutrophils and vasculitis. We searched for restriction in the epitope recognition profile in… Show more

“…Since MPO-ANCA did not react with human MPO under either reducing or heating conditions or both, it seems likely that MPO-ANCA recognize a critical region that contributes to the conformational epitope of MPO. The results support previous findings that MPO-ANCA recognize the native MPO, 28,29 although the MW of the target molecule is slightly different from the findings reported by others. This difference may be attributable to the methodology employed in Western blot analysis.…”

“…The mAb appears to recognize both heavy and light chain. This has been observed previously (Audrain et al, 1997). Sequence similarity suggests there may be common epitope(s), e.g., EPLAR (heavy chain) and EPAAR (light chain).…”

“…155 Audrain et al have shown that autoantibodies to human MPO are directed against at least four different epitopes. 156 Fujii et al have reported that the most common antigenic sites are regions on the upstream side of Met341 and Met409 near the N-terminus of the MPO heavy chain as well as on a domain on the downstream side of Gly598 near the C-terminus. 157…”
