    Notizen: Abstract. The antitumor effector functions of unconjugated monoclonal antibodies (mAb) in cancer therapy are not fully understood. Direct cytotoxic mechanisms such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, complement-dependent cytolysis and apoptosis have been suggested. Induction of anti-idiotypic (ab2) and anti-anti-idiotypic (ab3) antibodies as well as the corresponding T cells (T2 and T3) has also been proposed to be of therapeutic significance. In this study induction of an immune network cascade in ten patients with colorectal carcinoma, treated with mAb 17-1A (ab1) was assessed. After treatment, all ten patients had anti-idiotypic antibodies and anti-anti-idiotypic antibodies with ab1-like binding specificity while only five of ten patients had T cells corresponding to ab3 (T3) as assessed by a proliferation assay (DNA synthesis), and an assay of interferon γ production (ELISPOT) (Enzyme-linked immuno SPOT) in vitro or by a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in vivo. Purified T cells from four of the five patients with a positive T3 test responded with DNA synthesis after stimulation using human anti-mAb 17-1A anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibodies. These four patients had a clinical response showing a tumor reduction after therapy, while all six patients lacking a proliferative response failed to show tumor regression. Induction of a cell-mediated immune network cascade might accordingly be an important antitumor effector function of mAb and should be considered in the future design of mAb-based therapy protocols in cancer patients.

    Notizen: Abstract The presence of specific IgA antibodies in sera from 25 infants born to HIV-1 seropositive mothers was investigated by peptide-ELISA and peptide time-resolved fluoro-immunoassay (TR-FIA). The infants had been monitored at different times after birth for clinical signs and/or symptoms of HIV-1 infection and for detection of HIV-1 in lymphocyte cultures. Serum samples had also been tested for HIV-1 IgG antibodies by commercial ELISA and Western blot and for p24 antigen. Eleven of 25 children were then identified as infected. IgA detection was performed after rProtein G treatment to remove interfering IgG. In the infected group, IgA specific antibodies to a synthetic peptide representing a highly conserved region of the transmembrane glycoprotein gp41 (env: 594–613) were detected in 27 (73%) out of 37 serum samples (9 of 11 children) by the peptide-ELISA test. IgA specific antibodies to the same peptide were found in 30 (81%) sera (9 of 11 children) by the peptide-TR-FIA. Specific HIV-1 IgA antibodies were detected as early as 2 months of age in serum samples from five out of seven children (71% sensitivity) using peptide-ELISA and from six out of seven (86% sensitivity) by peptide-TR-FIA. Conversely, IgA specific antibodies to HIV-1 were absent in two infected children as well as in the sera of all uninfected children tested during the follow up period. Since maternal IgA does not cross the placenta, IgA detection in the serum of the infant is indicative of HIV-1 infection. Indeed, the early demonstration of HIV-1 IgA antibodies in infected infants shows that both peptide-ELISA and peptide-TR-FIA can be used for an early diagnosis of HIV-1 infection.

    Notizen: Abstract A simple, rapid, reproducible and sensitive peptide-Time-Resolved-Fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA) method is described which allows the detection of antibodies to the Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1). By using a panel of synthetic peptide antigens that covered env, gag and pol amino acid sequences, a 20 amino acid peptide (GIWGCSGKLICTTAVPWNAS) describing an immunodominant and conserved domain on the gp41 region of the BH10 clone was found to be the most reactive in this study. Optimal conditions for antigen concentration, serum dilution and incubation time were established. The peptide-TR-FIA is specific, as assessed by testing HIV-1 positive sera which included samples from AIDS, ARC patients and HIV-positive drug users. The test was used to detect HIV antibodies in 250 well characterized HIV-1 positive sera and 50 normal sera. Peptide-TR-FIA results indicate that the env peptide was highly reactive with HIV-positive sera showing a sensitivity of 100%. None of the 50 control sera showed positive reactivity against the synthetic peptide. Furthermore the peptide-TR-FIA allowed a fine titration of antibodies to defined epitopes of immunodominant HIV structural proteins that usually cannot be achieved by peptide-ELISA assays.
