Oxidative cross-linking of immune complexes by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes.

Abstract: Incubation of human serum albumin-anti-human serum albumin immune complexes bound to a plastic surface, with human polymorphonuclear leukocytes for I h at 370C resulted in covalent cross-linking of 8.5%±0.5 of the complexes, corresponding to a minimum rate of 700 antibody molecules per cell per minute. Similar results were obtained with IgG-anti-IgG and type II collagen-anticollagen II human antibodies. Crosslinking was defined as the antibody remaining attached to plastic-bound antigen after extraction with 3… Show more

“…This mechanism has similarities to other oxidant systems that cause red cell lysis : photooxidation of protoporphyrin also causes protein cross-linking and clustering of the membrane proteins that is closely associated with lysis [42,43]. Protein cross-linking by HOCl has been reported previously [44][45][46] and our results with globin demonstrate that a substantial amount of dimerization occurred even at a 1 : 1 ratio of oxidant to protein. This is surprising in view of the number of potentially reactive amino acids [13], and indicates that this is a major reaction of HOCl and HOBr.…”

“…Work in our laboratory had shown that in vitro oxidative attack on IgG resulted in the generation of covalent cross-linked aggregates that behaved as immunocomplexes in that they were able to activate the complement system and precipitate with rheumatoid factor (5). Further work showed that activated human PMN or monocytes induced similar changes in native IgG and that generation of HOCl by these cells was responsible for cross-linking (4,18). Finally, analysis of IgG obtained from inflammatory synovial fluids showed evidence of covalent cross-linking and oxidative modification (6).…”

“…It should be pointed out that the present experiments were designed to distinguish the effects of the chemical modification of the IgGs from the proinflammatory effects resulting from intermolecular cross-linking and aggregation. In the experiments conducted to gauge IgG binding to the FcR, for instance, it was important to use purified monomers, because the cooperativity effects of two or more binding domains in close proximity may increase the apparent binding affinity by as much as 10 4 .…”

“…Over the last 25 years, a variety of mono-functional and hetero-bifunctional reagents have been developed that target different side chains of proteins for coupling. Crosslinkers with reaction chemistries such as photoactivatable molecules [30], fluorescent linkers [31], cleavable linkers [32], antibody-antigen complexes [33], metal complexes [34], and biotin-streptavidin complexes [31,35] have been reported for protein couplings. However, few crosslinking methods possess properties such as good reaction specificity, high product yields, limited side reactions and ability to account the crosslinking efficiency [31,35].…”
