Fig 1 HDI vapors conjugate to albumin in fluid phase. Albumin in PBS was exposed to HDI vapors (≥100 ppb) and Western blotted with HDI-specific polyclonal rabbit antisera. Lane 1, unexposed; lane 2, 10 minutes; lane 3, 1 hour; lane 4, 4 hours; lane 5, 24 hours.

Fig 2 Conformational and/or charge changes in albumin after HDI vapor exposure. Native gel analysis of albumin exposed to HDI vapors for 24 hours (left) or varying concentrations of liquid HDI for 2 hours (right). Liquid exposure doses are expressed as a percentage based on volume. HDI substitution ratios (mol HDI:mol albumin), when detectable, are noted at the bottom. Data shown are representative of 3 different experiments.

Fig 3 Identification of HDI conjugation sites on albumin by MALDI-MS. Representative portions of the MALDI-MS mass/charge spectra comparing HDI- (top) and mock- (bottom) exposed albumin. Predominant new masses of 1317 Da and 1808 Da, consistently noted in the HDI-exposed albumin samples, are highlighted by the arrows.

Fig 4 Model depicting predominate HDI conjugation sites on human albumin. Two predominant loci of HDI conjugation to human albumin are predicted based on MALDI-MS/nanospray-MS analysis. Amino acids identified as predominate HDI conjugation sites (Lys414 and His247) are highlighted in yellow, HDI is depicted as a red star, and disulfide bonds between cysteines are drawn in orange. The 3 major domains of human albumin are color-coded purple (domain 1), blue (domain 2), and brown or gray (domain 3).

Fig 5 Specificity of human humoral response to HDI and dependency on albumin as the carrier. Unexposed and HDI vapor exposed human albumin (lanes 1 and 2, respectively), transferrin (lanes 3 and 4), lactoferrin (lanes 5 and 6), and bovine serum albumin (lanes 7 and 8) were Western blotted with (A) serum from a representative HDI-exposed subject, (B) HDI-specific polyclonal rabbit serum, or (C) pooled human serum from non–HDI-exposed subjects.

Fig 6 Association of vapor HDI-exposed albumin-specific IgG titers with exposure and asthma. Specific serum IgG titers versus (□) liquid or (▪) vapor HDI-exposed albumin conjugates (with substitution ratios of 37:1 and 3:1, respectively) were measured for healthy subjects, classified according to job category, and isocyanate asthmatics. Statistical significance of associations between titer and different job categories or isocyanate asthma is indicated. HDI-specific serum IgG was undetectable in all unexposed subjects tested to date (not shown).
