IMMUNOGLOBULIN FRAGMENTS STRUCTURE/FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS papain Fab antigen binding (valence=1, monovalent) specificity determined by VH and VL domains some effector function is impaired VH VL Fab – Fragment antigen binding Fc – Fragment crystallizable  mivel kicsi a variabilitás a fargmentumok között, könnyebben kristályosítható Figyeljük meg a hasítás helyét a nehézláncokat egymással összekötő diszulfid hidakhoz képest!

IMMUNOGLOBULIN FRAGMENTS STRUCTURE/FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS pepsin F(ab’)2 bivalent antigen binding (valency=2) Fc peptides + bivalens – képes lehet precipitációra, agglutinációra (A PEPSI-t nem kell komolyan venni) Figyeljük meg a hasítás helyét a nehézláncokat egymással összekötő diszulfid hidakhoz képest! F(ab’)2 Some effektor functin is impaired. It can mediate agglutination/precipitation (other seminar)

MODEL OF ANTIGEN BINDING Egyszerű modell, hogyan lehet elképzelni az antigén kötőhelyet (kötőfelszínt) illetve az idiotípus régiót (az epitoppal reagáló rész)

EFFECTOR FUNCTION: NEUTRALIZATION neutralized pathogen / toxin Ez az effektor funkció szinte csak a variabilis domén (az antigénkötő rész) tulajdonságaitól függ. Az ellenanyag más részei (pl. az izotípus) nem befolyásolják (vagy csak közvetve – lásd a valenciánál) Immunizálás során a szervezetben képződő/bejuttatott ellenanyagok így védenek vírusfertőzésk ellen Toxinok hatását blokkolhatják Baktérium sejtek adhézióját gátolhatják az epitélsejteken toxin effect or pathogen adhesion is blocked by steric hindrance

Why do antibodies need an Fc region? detect antigen precipitate antigen block the active sites of toxins or pathogen-associated molecules block interactions between host and pathogen-associated molecules the (Fab)2 fragment can NEUTRALIZATION inflammatory and effector functions associated with cells inflammatory and effector functions associated with complement system the trafficking of antigens into the antigen processing pathways (opsonized phagocytosis) but can not activate (role of Fc region) Neutralization is an effector function related to the Fab region

EFFECTOR FUNCTIONS OF ANTIBODIES Neutralization (variable domain associated) Marking the antigens for effector functions (variáble domain and Fc dependent) phagocytosis (oppsonization) ADCC and IgE mediated mast cell activation activation of the complement system (next seminar) Fc part is recognized by Fc receptors Different antibodies have different Fc part

VARIABILITY IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF THE IG DETERMINES IG CLASSES OR SPECIFICITY isotype allotype idiotype (Classes/subclasses) Sequence variability of H/L-chain constant regions Allelic variants Sequence variability of H and L-chain variable regions (individual, clone- specific)

HUMAN IMMUNOGLOBULIN CLASSES encoded by different structural gene segments (isotypes) IgG - gamma (γ) heavy chains IgM - mu (μ) heavy chains IgA - alpha (α) heavy chains IgD - delta (δ) heavy chains IgE - epsilon (ε) heavy chains light chain types kappa (κ) lambda (λ)

complex antigen antibodies complexed to complex antigen (A) High-affinity FcRs on the surface of the cell bind monomeric Ig before it binds to antigen. (B) Low-affinity FcRs bind multiple Igs that have already bound to a multivalent antigen.

ANTIBODY DEPENDENT CELLULAR CYTOTOXICITY (ADCC) low affinity FcR mediated NK cell / Basophyl granulocyte degranulation Bazofil granulociták az IgE/FreR mellett FcgReceptorral is rendelkeznek - hasonló folyamattal aktiválódhatnak és üríthetik granulumaikat.

MAST CELL DEGRANULATION Mast cell pre-armed with antigen specific IgE Cross-linking of IgE via bound pathogen/allergen degranulation Az IgE szabad állapotban is képes kötődni a nagy affinitású FcεR receptorhoz. A sejt ilyen állapotban várja a találkozást az antigénnel (kissé a B sejtek antigénfelismerésére emlékeztető módon FcεR kötött ellenanyag  mIg (BCR)) Bazofil granulociták esetében hasonló jelenség működik IgG ellenanyagokkal, és FcgReceptorral is. (természetesen a kis affinitású FcgR nem köt szabad ellenanyagot, hanem immunkomplexekkel reagál) pathogen expulsion (allergy symptoms)

FEATURES OF ANTIBODY-ANTIGEN INTERACTION - valency and avidity Valency: numbers of bonds between antigen and antibody Affinity: the strength of interaction between a specific antigen and one binding site of the antibody Avidity: „sum” of affinities of the binding sites of a given antibody Az Fc rész sajátoságainak – multimerizáció – mégis van jelentősége az a variábilis részhez köthető funkcióban (neutralizáció) is. A primer immunválasz során keletkező ellenanyagok gyakran kis affinitásúak (az affinitás érés még nem játszódott le), de az IgM multimer sajátsága ezt valamelyest kompenzálja aviditásban.

THE ROLE OF THE HINGE REGION

ANTIBODY PRODUCTION DURING THE PRIMARY AND THE SECONDARY IMMUNE RESPONSE alacsony magas antigénfüggő 100-1000x erősebb az első válasznál primer – elsődleges szekunder – másodlagos (tercier nincs, mert gyakorlatilag a szekunderrel azonos minden további immunizálás)

A másik antigén így is csak primer jellegű választ indukál napok Antigen A Antigen A and B

Isotype distribution in the body ANTIBODY ISOTYPE AND FUNCTION IgG Az izotípusok eloszlásáért többek közt „szállító” Fc receptorok felelősek Pink-blue heart represent – IgM and IgG predominance in the blood (circulation) Isotype distribution in the body

PRODUCTION OF IMMUNOGLOBULINS IgG IgM IgA AFTER BIRTH breast milk 100% (adult) 3 year 2 5 4 6 adult 9 1 month maternal IgG BEFORE BIRTH Magzatba anyai IgG kerül, és vam saját IgM termelése. Születés elötti IgM a természetes ellenanyagtermelés termékei (CD5+ B1 sejtek – gyakran evol.konzervatív struktúrájú antigének felismerése, DNS, HSP, hisztonok – a VDJ átrendeződésnél általában az első? Szekvenciák kódolják) Anyatej anyai IgA és IgM –jei védik a bélrendszer és a légutak felső szakaszait.

and transporting Fc receptors FcRn „neonatal” Fc receptor Placenta, endothelial and epithelial cells, etc. IgG transfer, IgG salvage pIgR poli Ig receptor Epithelial cells IgA, IgM transfer

Az IgG placental transport: neonatal Fcg receptor (FcRn) human FcgRn humán MHC Class I A placenta sejtek felveszik az anyai ellenanyagokat az anyai keringésből. Az endoszóma savas közegében az FcgRn megköti az ellenanyagokat (IgG specifikus), átszállítja a fötális oldalra, és az ott levő neutrálisabb pH hatására elengedi azokat. Egyes állatok esetében ez az előtejjel történik meg: Az újszülött bélrendszerében az FcγRn megköti a kolosztrumból származó anyai eredetü IgG-t (pH6.5). A receptor ezután transzcitózissal átszállítódik az epitéliumon és a megváltozott kémhatás hatására (pH 7.4) az IgG felszabadul és bekerül az újszülött állat keringésébe. (érdekesség- Az FcgRn és az MHC I molekula szerkezeti rokonságban áll.) Hasonló receptorok vannak az endotél sejtekben is. A pinocitózissal felvett ellenanyagokat ezek megkötik és visszaszállítják a felszínre – megmentik a lizoszómális lebontástól – növeli az ellenanyagok féléletidejét. Egérben nincs ilyen receptor, de bele lehet tenni – az ilyen egerekből sokkal több ellenanyag nyerhető ki (pl. diagnosztikai vagy kísérletes célokra) (the structure of FcRn and MHC I is related)

FcRn, FcγRn FcRn can transport IgG and albumin Újszülött rágcsálók bélrendszerében 100x magasabb az expressziója mint más szöveteken illetve az egyedfejlődés későbbi szakaszában. Náluk nincs placentális transzfer, hanem az anyatejből szerzi be a szervezetük az IgG-t. Rágcsálóknál az anyatejbe is ilyen receptorral kerülhet ki az anyai keringésből az IgG, főleg a laktáció elején (colostrum, fröccs tej). Azért közvetlenül a szülés után van, mert olyankor még nincsenek enzimek az újszülött rágcsáló bélrendszerében. Később nagyobb eséllyel emésztődik meg az IgG, mielőtt felvételre kerülne.

MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES POLYCLONAL ANTIBODIES and POLYCLONAL ANTIBODIES

POLYCLONAL ANTIBODY RESPONSE Ag Polyclonal antibody Immunserum Set of B-cells Ag Ag Activated B-cells Antibody-producing plasma-cells Antigen-specific antibodies

PRUDUCTION OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES

MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES products of one B lymphocyte clone homogeneous in antigen specificity, affinity, and isotype can be found in pathologic condition in humans (the product of a malignant cell clone) advantages against polyclonal antibodies: antibodies of a given specificity and isotype can be produced in high quantity and assured quality therapeutic usage of monoclonal ABs: anti-inflammatory antibodies (autoimmune diseases) tumor therapy

FEATURES OF POLYCLONAL AND MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES Polyclonal antibody Monoclonal antibody (high affinity) Number of recognized antigen determinants several (frequent cross-reactions) mostly one Specificity polyspecific monospecific Affinity Varying (diverse antibodies) high Concentration of non-specific immunoglobulines low Cost of preparation Standardisability Impossible (or uneasy) easy Amount limited unlimited Applicability method-dependent excellent

POSSIBLE USE OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES Identifying cell types Immunohistochemistry Characterization of lymphomas with CD (cluster of differentiation) markers Isolation of cells Isolation of CD34+ stem cells for autologous/allogeneic transplantation (from peripheral blood!) Blood group determination (with anti-A, anti-B, and anti-D monoclonals) Identification of cell surface and intracellular antigens Cell activation state Targeted chemotherapy CD20+ anti-B-cell monoclonals in non-Hodgkin lymphoma Prevention of organ rejection after transplantation

Monoclonal antibodies as drugs? Mouse monoclonal antibodies may elicit an immune response upon administration in human subjects. (see immunogenicity-determining factors!) How can we solve this problem?

EVOLUTION OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES Mouse Human Humanized Chimeric Humanized antibodies are antibodies from non-human species whose protein sequences have been modified to increase their similarity to antibody variants produced naturally in humans.The process of "humanization" is usually applied to monoclonal antibodies developed for administration to humans (for example, antibodies developed as anti-cancer drugs). Humanization can be necessary when the process of developing a specific antibody involves generation in a non-human immune system (such as that in mice). The protein sequences of antibodies produced in this way are partially distinct from homologous antibodies occurring naturally in humans, and are therefore potentially immunogenic when administered to human patients Humanized antibodies are distinct from chimeric antibodies. The latter also have their protein sequences made more similar to human antibodies, but the fraction of foreign protein is larger than in humanized ones. Humanized antibodies are antibodies from non-human species whose protein sequences have been modified to increase their similarity to antibody variants produced naturally in humans.

Repeated therapy could be possible)

MONOCLONALS AS DRUGS - Tumor therapy Monoclonals can be used for targeted chemotherapy of tumors. It is cell-type specific, but not specific to malignant cells! Immunsuppressive monoclonals Cell-type specific immunsuppression

MONOCLONALS IN TUMOR THERAPY „Naked MAb”, unconjugated antibody Anti-CD20 (rituximab – Mabthera/Rituxan, chimeric): B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma Anti-CD52 (campath – Mabcampath, humanized): chronic lymphoid leukaemia Anti-ErbB2 (trastuzumab – Herceptin, humanized): breast cancer Anti-VEGF (bevacizumab – Avastin, humanized): colorectalis tu. (+ Lucentis!) Anti-EGFR (cetuximab – Erbitux, chimeric): colorectalis tu. (+ Vectibix, rekomb. humán!) 2. Conjugated antibody Anti-CD20 + yttrium-90 isotope (ibritumomab- Zevalin) Anti-CD20 + iodine-131 (tositumomab – Bexxar)

IMMUNSUPPRESSIVE ANTIBODIES Anti-TNF-α antibodies infliximab (Remicade): since 1998, chimeric adalimumab (Humira): since 2002, recombinant human Etanercept (Enbrel) – dimer fusion protein, soluble TNF-α receptor + IgG Fc-part Not a real monoclonal antibody. IgG Fc part  t1/2, transport See more in supplementary information Indications of anti-TNF-α therapy: Rheumatoid arthritis Spondylitis ankylopoetica (Bekhterev's disease) Psoriasis vulgaris, arthritis psoriatica Crohn’s disease, colitis ulcerosa (usually – still – not in the first line!)

CASE STUDY (MULTIPLE MYELOMA) In 1989, a 55-year-old housewife, who had been in good health her entire life, began to experience excessive fatigue. Her physician did not find abnormalities on physical examination. The blood sample revealed mild anemia; red blood cell count was 3.5 x 106 / ml (normal 4.2-5.0 x 106 / ml), white blood cell count was 3600 / ml (normal 5000 / ml). The sedimentation rate of her red blood cells was 32 mm / h (normal <20 mm / h). (Sedimentation is accelerated when fibrinogen or IgG content of the blood plasma is elevated.) The concentration of IgG was found to be 3790 mg / dl (normal 600 - 1500 mg / dl), that of IgA 14 mg / dl (normal 150 – 250 mg / dl) and that of IgM 53 mg / dl (normal 75 -150 mg / dl).

CASE STUDY (MULTIPLE MYELOMA) Electrophoresis of her serum revealed the presence of a monoclonal protein, which on further analysis was found to be IgG with lambda light chains. normal serum serum from the patient Radiographs of all of her bones did not show any abnormality. No treatment was advised.

CASE STUDY (MULTIPLE MYELOMA) In April 1991 her serum IgG was 4520 mg / dl, and in January 1992 it was 5100 mg / dl. By November 1992, her anemia had worsened and her red blood cell count had fallen to 3.0 x 106 / ml. At the same time her white blood count had fallen to 2600 / ml. In December 1992, she experienced the sudden onset of upper arm pain and headache. Radiographs of the skull and the left upper arm showed ‘punched out’ lesions in the bones.

CASE STUDY (MULTIPLE MYELOMA) She was treated with melphalan (methylphenylalanine mustard), corticosteroids, and irradiation. Her symptoms improved. In April 1993, further chemotherapy was given because of the persisting elevation of her serum IgG. The treatment reduced her serum IgG level from 8200 mg / dl to 6000 mg / dl. In February and in May 1995, she was found to have pneumonia. She was treated successfully with antibiotics. She recovered from this episode in the hospital and remained fully active. She required blood transfusion for her anemia and complained at times of bone pain. Her serum IgG was stable at 6200 mg / dl. Although she was in relative good health as our case history ended, her outlook for survival was very poor. Recently, bone marrow transplants have been used to cure patients with multiple myeloma. /Myeloma proteins have played an important part in the history of immunology. (Bence-Jones protein, subclasses of IgG, amino acid sequence of immuno- globulin molecule)/

Q&A The serum IgG from her was assumed to be monoclonal because it migrated as a tight band on electrophoresis in an agarose gel, and because it reacted with antibodies to lambda but not to kappa chains. What other evidence could be brought to bear to prove the monoclonality of this IgG? The IgG could also be shown to belong a single subclass of IgG, that is IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4. Further more, it would be possible to show that a single variable-region gene was rearranged to form this IgG. She became anemic (low red blood cell count) and neutropenic (low white blood cell count). What was the cause of this? The proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow crowded out blood cell precursors. This creates a limitation on space in the bone marrow.

As her disease progressed, she became susceptible to pyogenic infection; for example, she had pneumonia twice in a short period. What is the basis of her susceptibility to these infections? Although her serum IgG concentration is quite elevated, almost all the IgG is secreted by the myeloma cells and is monoclonal. In fact, she has very little normal polyclonal IgG and has been effectively rendered agammaglobulinemic by her disease. In addition, her white blood cell count is decreased and she has too few neutrophils (<1000 / ml) to ingest bacteria in the bloodstream and lungs effectively. A monoclonal immunoglobulin in the serum is called an M-component (‘M’ for myeloma). Is the presence of an M-component in serum diagnostic of multiple myeloma? No. M-component appear in the blood as people age. About 10% of healthy individuals in the ninth decade of live have M-component. This is called benign monoclonal gammopathy. Without bone lesions and presence of many malignant cells in the bone marrow, the diagnosis of multiple myeloma cannot be made. Some people have IgM M-components in their blood. This is due to another malignancy of plasma cells called Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia, which differs in many ways from multiple myeloma and is a more benign disease.
