    Notes: The mouse hybridoma cell line 40-150 scretes antibodies with high affinity towards the cardiac glycosides digoxin and digitoxin. A spontaneous mutant, 40-150 A2.4, produces and antibody which carries a single residue mutation, Ser → Arg, in its heavy chain (H94) and has an altered specificity. A second order mutant 40-150 A2.4 P.10, produces two antibody molecules, one the same as 40-150 A2.4, the other lacking two residues at the N-terminus of its H chain, and having a specificity profile approaching that of 40-150 antibody. 1 The N-terminus and the position H94 are distant from the antigen-binding site of the antibody; thus, the structural basic of the specificity changes was not immediately clear. Approximate structures of the 40-150 antibody and its mutants were constructed in the computer, based on atomic coordinates of the homologous mouse antibody McPC 603. Using the program OCNGEN, the torsional space of the polypeptide backbone and side chains around position H94 was uniformly sampled, and the lowest energy conformations were analyzed in detail. The results indicate that when Arg-H94 is substituted for Ser. Agr-H94 can hydrogen bond to side chains of Asp-H101, Arg-L46, and Asp-L55. The results in a change in the surface of the combining site which may account for the affinity changes. Deletion of the two N-terminal residues increases solvent accessibility of Arg-H94. The solvation may cause a hydrogen bond between Arg-H94 and Asp-H101 to be lost, restoring the structure to one similar to that of 40-150.

    Notes: A directed conformational search algorithm using the program CONGEN (ref. 3), which samples backbone conformers, is described. The search technique uses information from the partially built structures to direct the search process and is tested on the problem of generating a full set of backbone Cartesian coordinates given only α-carbon coordinates. The method has been tested on six proteins of known structure, varying in size and classification, and was able to generate the original backbone coordinates with RMSs ranging from 0.30-0.87Å for the α-carbons and 0.5-0.99Å RMSs for the backbone atoms. Cis peptide linkages were also correctly identified. The procedure was also applied to two proteins available with only α-carbon coordinates in the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank; thioredoxin (SRX) and triacyiglycerol acylhydrolase (TGL). All-atom models are proposed for the backbone of both these proteins. In addition, the technique was applied to randomized coordinates of flavodoxin to assess the effects of irregularities in the data on the final RMS. This study represents the first time a deterministic conformational search was used on such a large scale. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Studies of the possible viral etiology of human leukemia have required large quantities of cultured cells derived from human hematopoietic tissues. Since cultures sufficiently large and free from contamination could not readily be produced according to existing methods, a pilot, cell culture plant has been constructed for the production of mammalian cells in mass quantity. 500-ml to 20-liter trophocell units have already proved to be scientifically and economically practical, as they provide good reliability, excellent growth rates, and sustained yield of human cells. 200-liter stainless steel culture units have now been added to the trophocell system. Five complete 200 liter units are now in operation. The design of the original stainless steel unit was based on that of a stainless steel, jacketed soup kettle. There are no openings in the vessel other than those in the lid, which provide convenient access points for sampling, sensor probes, etc. Environmental parameters, e.g., liquid level, temperature, and pH, are monitored and controlled with commercially available apparatus. Many initial problems connected with the new 200 liter units have been resolved, but operational and design problems remain in the areas of stable instrumentation, cell harvesting, salvaging and reuse of unspent media components, establishment of physiologic steady stale, recovery of virus-containing cells with reculture of the remaining unaffected cells, and the recovery and separation of cell components and special products such as immunoglobulins, interferons, and hormones. A definitive cell plant with culture units of 20, 50, 250, and 1250 liters is now being constructed.

    Notes: This study reports some findings on the effects of centrifugation on the viability of mammalian cells. The authors used Burkitt lymphoma cells cultivated in a synthetic medium containing 10% fetal calf serum for all experiments. Batch centrifugations were conducted in a RC2-B centrifuge (Ivan Sorvall, Incorporated, Norwalk, Connecticut USA) operated at 0 and 25°C. During centrifugation we exposed the cells to gravitational fields ranging from 24,800 to 42.200g. The results showed that at, 0°C and 25,800 or 42,000g no loss in cell viability occurred for up to 90 min exposures in the centrifugal field. However, at 25°C and for gravitational fields of 24,800 and 42,000g, there were appreciable losses in cell viability. Continuous centrifugation studies in the Sharples supercentrifuge (Division of Penn Salt Corporation, Warminister, Pennsylvania USA) were also conducted with bowl speeds up to 28,000 rpm (19,000g) and flow rates ranging from 1.4 to 20 1, hr. Slight, losses in cell viability were noted and postulated as caused by the shear stresses encountered by the cells. Some pumping studies using the lymphoma cells substantiate this conclusion.

    Notes: A new and simplified procedure is described for apolipoprotein E (APO E) phenotyping from native plasma or serum samples. Diluted or dialyzed samples are separated on agarose isoelectric focusing gels followed by protein blotting on nitrocellulose membranes. APO E banding patterns are localized immunologically using polyclonal goat anti-APO E antiserum as the primary antibody and rabbit anti-goat IgG conjugated with alkaline phosphatase as the secondary antibody. The method was used in parallel with our previously described polyacrylamide gel system to screen 110 unrelated and healthy US whites. Both gel systems gave identical APO E phenotypes, and allele frequencies were comparable with reported US white values. This simplified method can be used on a large number of population and clinical samples with minimum cost and effort.
