Blum, Daniel R. Lu, Serra E. Elliott, Rong Mao and William H. Robinson Objective. Anti–citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). While epitope spreading of the serum ACPA response is believed to contribute to RA pathogenesis, little is understood regarding how this phenomenon occurs. This study was undertaken to analyze the antibody repertoires of individuals with RA to gain insight into the mechanisms leading to epitope spreading of the serum ACPA response in RA. Methods. Plasmablasts from the blood of 6 RA patients were stained with citrullinated peptide tetramers to identify ACPA- producing B cells by flow cytometry. Plasmablasts were single-cell sorted and sequenced to obtain antibody repertoires. Sixty-nine antibodies were recombinantly expressed, and their anticitrulline reactivities were characterized using a cyclic citrullinated peptide enzyme- linked immuosorbent assay and synovial antigen arrays. Thirty- six mutated antibodies designed either to represent ancestral antibodies or to test paratope residues critical for binding, as determined from molecular modeling studies, were also tested for anticitrulline reactivities. Results. Clonally related monoclonal ACPAs and their shared ancestral antibodies each exhibited differential re- activity against citrullinated antigens. Molecular modeling identified residues within the complementarity-determining region loops and framework regions predicted to be important for citrullinated antigen binding. Affinity maturation re- sulted in mutations of these key residues, which conferred binding to different citrullinated epitopes and/or increased polyreactivity to citrullinated epitopes.

  • IMMUNOCHEMICAL TECHNIQUES Antigens Antibodies
    Imunochemical Techniques IMMUNOCHEMICAL TECHNIQUES (by Lenka Fialová, translated by Jan Pláteník a Martin Vejražka) Antigens Antigens are macromolecules of natural or synthetic origin; chemically they consist of various polymers – proteins, polypeptides, polysaccharides or nucleoproteins. Antigens display two essential properties: first, they are able to evoke a specific immune response , either cellular or humoral type; and, second, they specifically interact with products of this immune response , i.e. antibodies or immunocompetent cells. A complete antigen – immunogen – consists of a macromolecule that bears antigenic determinants (epitopes) on its surface (Fig. 1). The antigenic determinant (epitope) is a certain group of atoms on the antigen surface that actually interacts with the binding site on the antibody or lymphocyte receptor for the antigen. Number of epitopes on the antigen surface determines its valency. Low-molecular-weight compound that cannot as such elicit production of antibodies, but is able to react specifically with the products of immune response, is called hapten (incomplete antigen) . antigen epitopes Fig. 1. Antigen and epitopes Antibodies Antibodies are produced by plasma cells that result from differentiation of B lymphocytes following stimulation with antigen. Antibodies are heterogeneous group of animal glycoproteins with electrophoretic mobility β - γ, and are also called immunoglobulins (Ig) . Every immunoglobulin molecule contains at least two light (L) and two heavy (H) chains connected with disulphidic bridges (Fig. 2). One antibody molecule contains only one type of light as well as heavy chain. There are two types of light chains - κ and λ - that determine type of immunoglobulin molecule; while heavy chains exist in 5 isotypes - γ, µ, α, δ, ε; and determine class of immunoglobulins - IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD and IgE .

  • A Case Report of Nephrotic Syndrome While Undergoing Quinine Therapy
    Open Access Case Report DOI: 10.7759/cureus.2283 A Case Report of Nephrotic Syndrome While Undergoing Quinine Therapy Brittany Albrecht 1 , Shelley Giebel 2 , Michelle McCarron 3 , Bhanu Prasad 2 1. College of Medicine, University of Saskatchewan 2. Department of Nephrology, Regina General Hospital 3. Research and Performance Support, Saskatchewan Health Authority Corresponding author: Brittany Albrecht, [email protected] Abstract We summarize the case of an 81-year-old Caucasian female who presented to her family physician with signs and symptoms of nephrotic syndrome following a brief exposure to quinine. Prior to that visit, she was clinically well with no chronic medical ailments and met with her family physician for annual physical assessments. She had taken 11 tablets of quinine for nocturnal leg cramps over the course of 28 days before starting to notice mild peripheral edema, which subsequently progressed, leading to a family physician review. Her initial serum albumin level was 12 g/L, and a 24-hour urine protein output was quantified at 8.14 g/day; she was diagnosed as having nephrotic syndrome. A kidney biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of minimal change disease (MCD). Quinine therapy was stopped, and she was initiated on a tapering regime of prednisone with concurrent cyclosporine therapy. Within a fortnight of starting therapy, she went into remission and her immunosuppressive medications were rapidly tapered and discontinued. This paper reports an association between the use of quinine and subsequent MCD. This case report proposes that the use of quinine has an association with, and may be causal for, the development of minimal change disease.

  • 4 Antibodies from Other Species Melissa L
    85 4 Antibodies from Other Species Melissa L. Vadnais1, Michael F. Criscitiello2, and Vaughn V. Smider1 1Department of Molecular Medicine, The Scripps Research Institute, 10550 N. Torrey Pines, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA 2Texas A&M University, College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, 400 Raymond Stotzer Parkway, College Station, TX 77843, USA 4.1 Introduction Immunoglobulins are the molecular basis of humoral immunity. Across different species, these macromolecules maintain a common quaternary structure, which is typically comprised of two identical heavy chains with covalently attached oligosaccharide groups and two identical non-glycosylated, light chains. These glycoprotein molecules recognize and bind a particular antigen in a highly complex and exceedingly specific immune response. Antibodies are the primary protective molecules elicited by most vaccines, and recombinant antibodies are now a major class of therapeutics for multiple diseases. The earliest antibody therapeutics were derived from serum of nonhuman species. In particular, horse serum served as anti-venom yet had substantial toxicity (serum sickness) due totheimmuneresponseagainstthenonhumanantibodyprotein[1,2].Other antibody preparations such as anti-thymocyte globulin produced in rabbit had therapeutic benefit but also had significant toxicity. The use of alternative species for these therapeutic preparations was largely due to ease of production, as they were developed prior to the advent of modern molecular biology techniques, which have enabled rapid discovery and engineering of recombinant antibodies. Thus, most current approaches for producing recombinant antibodies rely on humanizing antibodies derived from other species, usually mice, or beginning with human scaffolds engineered into libraries or transgenic “humanized” mice. Recently, however, novel features of antibodies derived from other species have sparked interest in developing antibodies that may have particular unique features in binding certain antigens or epitopes [3–7].

  • Monoclonal Immunoglobulin

Harding Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/55855 1. Introduction Secretion of monoclonal immunoglobulins (M-Ig) may be associated with several malignant conditions, also called M-protein, paraprotein, or M-component they are produced by an abnormally expanded single (‘’mono-‘’) clone of plasma cells in an amount that can be detected in serum, urine, or rarely in other body fluids [1]. The M-Ig can be an intact immunoglobulin (Ig) (containing both heavy and light chains), or light chains in the absence of heavy chain (encountered in light chain myeloma, light chain deposition disease, AL amyloidosis), or rarely heavy chains in the absence of light chains only (heavy chain disease). All intact Igs have the same structure, made up of mirror imaged identical light and heavy chains. There are five classes of heavy chain, γ, α, μ, δ and ε with two classes of light chain κ and λ. Igs are secreted by terminally differentiated B-lymphocytes and their normal function is to act as antibodies recognizing a specific antigen. During B-cell maturation, the rearrangement of Ig heavy and light chain genes takes place early in pre-B-cell development and ends in memory B-cells or Ig producing plasma cells that have a unique heavy and light chain gene rearrangement, thus being selected to recognize a given antigen. During, oncogenic events which occur randomly during this process, the B cell may acquire a survival advantage, and proliferate into identical (clonal) daughter B-cells able to differentiate into Ig producing cells secreting a monoclonal component.
