Monoclonal antibodies against lipopolysaccharide of Chlamydia trachomatis with cross reactivity to human ApoB.

Splenocytes obtained from mice immunized with whole purified elementary bodies of Chlamydia trachomatis were used for hybridoma construction. The resulting clones were screened with ELISA using chlamydial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and full-length human apolipoprotein B (ApoB). One analyzed clone producing IgG1 (MAb 7B5) showed simultaneous recognition of chlamydial LPS and human ApoB, suggesting the presence of common antigenic epitopes in their structures. MAb 7B5 exhibited agreeable activity in immunoblot analysis conducted using chlamydial extracts or full-length human ApoB as well as in immunofluorescence (IF) detecting typical inclusion bodies of C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae in the infected eukaryotic host cells. The removal of LPS from chlamydial suspensions with lauroyl sarcosyl led to a complete disappearance of IF associated with the elementary bodies of C. trachomatis. Therefore, immunologic response to chlamydial antigen may be associated with the generation of ApoB-specific antibody. Molecular mimicry and subsequent formation of cross-reactive antibodies might be an essential mechanism explaining the appearance of circulating auto-antibodies against low density lipoproteins (LDL) in patients with atherosclerosis. Moreover, newly generated MAb 7B5 can be a useful tool in the laboratory diagnosis of chlamydial infections.

Effects of antibody isotype and host cell type on in vitro neutralization of Chlamydia trachomatis.

Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) E-4, E-21, and DIII A3, which recognize the same or similar overlapping peptides in the variable domain IV of the major outer membrane protein of Chlamydia trachomatis but differ in isotype, were used in a complement-independent (CI) in vitro neutralization assay. These MAbs had previously been shown to neutralize chlamydial infectivity in HeLa 229 cells in a complement-dependent assay. In this report, all three MAbs neutralized chlamydial infectivity in HaK cells in a CI assay. However, when HeLa cells were used as the host cell, MAb E-4 (immunoglobulin G2b [IgG2b]) and MAb DIII A3 (IgG2b) failed to neutralize infectivity, while MAb E-21 (IgG1) neutralized chlamydial infectivity. These findings are consistent with the proposal that because of the presence of Fc gamma RIII receptors, HeLa cells facilitate infectivity and thus block neutralization through the uptake of an IgG2b-chlamydia complex. Since Fc gamma RIII receptors do not bind or bind poorly to IgG1, neutralization of C. trachomatis by MAb E-21 in HeLa cells is also corroborative evidence for the role of Fc gamma RIII receptors in this interaction. A fivefold enhancement of infectivity was seen when 10 and 1 micrograms of MAb E-4 per ml were tested in a CI assay with HeLa cells. In performing CI neutralization synergy studies in HeLa cells with MAbs E-4 and E-21, antagonism between MAbs E-4 and E-21 was observed at MAb E-4 concentrations of 10 and 1 micrograms/ml for all concentrations of MAb E-21 tested (10 to 0.1 micrograms/ml). When HaK cells were used in the same studies, no antagonism between the MAbs was found. In addition, when HeLa cells were used in a CI assay, polyclonal serum raised to a peptide representing variable domain IV of the major outer membrane protein inhibited the neutralizing ability of MAb E-21. The blocking of neutralization and the enhancement of infectivity by chlamydia-specific antibodies seen in this investigation with HeLa cells may have important clinical implications for developing preventive strategies for chlamydial infections.
