    摘要: Membrane anchoring peptides are attached to the C terminal end of the heavy chain of the various immunoglobulin isotypes (IgM, IgD, IgA, IgE, or IgG). The membrane anchoring peptides span the cell membrane lipid bilayer of B cells thereby affixing the associated immunoglobulin to the cell membrane surface. The extracellular segments of these peptides are unique for different isotypes. Epitopes unique to the B cells which produce each isotype are formed, in whole or in part, by these extracellular segments. These membrane-bound immunoglobulin isotype-specific ("migis") extracellular epitopes are not present on the secreted, soluble form of the immunoglobulins, which are not bound to the cell surface by the membrane anchoring peptides. The antibodies of the invention (and other related products) specifically bind to the extracellular migis epitopes of human .mu. chain, human .delta. chain, or human .gamma. chain. The B cells which express the isotypes IgM, IgD or IgG are labeled for destruction when bound by such antibodies or products, and can be destroyed by the cytolytic or regulatory mechanisms of the immune system in order to cause immunosuppression.

    摘要: Membrane anchoring peptides which are part of the heavy chain of an associated immunoglobulin (IgM, IgD, IgA, IgE, or IgG), span the cell membrane lipid bilayer of B cells thereby affixing the associated immunoglobulin to the cell membrane surface. The extracellular segments of these peptides are unique for different isotypes, but tend to be very similar among different subclasses of a particular isotype. The extracellular segments form in whole or in part an epitope unique to the B cells which produce each isotype. These membrane-bound immunoglobulin isotype-specific ("migis") extracellular epitopes are not present on the secreted, soluble form of the immunoglobulins, which are not bound to the cell surface by the membrane anchoring peptides. The antibodies of the invention (and other related products) bind the extracellular migis epitopes. Tumorous B cells which produce particular isotypes, whether associated with B cell lymphoma and B cell leukemia, can be destroyed when they are bound by such an antibody (or by a derivative product of such an antibody), by any of a number of well-known mechanisms.

    摘要: Disclosed are immunofluorescence staining methods which increase the likelihood that antibodies expressed by a single B cell selected and sorted by fluorescence activated cell sorting are specific for the antigen of interest, and which also allow selection of B cells expressing antibodies of high affinity for the antigen of interest. The antigen-specific single B cells are to be used in a procedure which amplifies and selects their V.sub.H and V.sub.L sequences. The selection for B cells expressing antibodies to specific antigens is increased by labeling B cells with at least two antigen probes, where each antigen probe includes the antigen of interest and the difference between the two probes is that each is labeled with a different fluorochrome. The positive selection achieved using antigen probes with two different colors is preferably combined with a negative selection step, in which autofluorescent cells and sticky cells exhibiting fluorescence for the third irrelevant surface marker are excluded out. The specificity of sorting of the desired B cells can be further enhanced by staining those antigen-specific B cells which produce the immunoglobulin isotype (typically IgG), with targeting molecules reactive with a B cell marker, such as .gamma. chain and CD19, that are conjugated with a different fluorochrome. Thus, the antigen-specific IgG-producing B cells of interest may be labeled with these unique reagents in four color FACS (including one for negative selection), which can sort the desired antigen-specific B cells at enhanced proportions. The differences in relative intensities between the antigen labels and the isotype labels (e.g., IgG labels) among the different antibodies of the single cells selected can be used to determine the relative antigen binding affinity of those antibodies. For example, the ratio of antigen label to IgG label can be calculated for each labeled B cell. The higher the ratio, the higher the relative affinity of the antibodies on the B cells for the antigen. After sorting the B cells with FACS, those B cells with high affinity are preferred for analysis by the single cell-PCR procedure to amplify and clone the V.sub.H and V.sub.L segments of interest.
