Binding and activation of hemolytic complement by IgG antibodies: cooperativity between antibodies of different hapten specificity.
The ability of IgG antibodies with different hapten specificities to fix C1 and activate C as a function of hapten density on a red cell surface was investigated. Rabbit anti-methotrexate and anti-folinic acid IgG antibodies in a mixture were highly efficient in fixing C1 and activating C when cells carried simultaneously high levels of both haptens. We wished to find out whether in a C-activating IgG complex both IgG molecules had to be in a form that could activate C1. By reducing hapten density of one of the haptens on a double labeled cell, complexes were generated where only one in a pair of IgG molecules was in the activating form; such a pair had the same activating efficiency as a pair in which both IgG molecules were in the activating form. It was concluded that cooperative activation of C in C1-binding IgG complexes required only one IgG in the complex to be in the activating form.T Borsos, A Circolo

Lysis of hapten-labeled cells by anti-hapten IgG and complement: effect of cell surface hapten density.
Rabbit anti-methotrexate (MTX) IgG antibody was used to study the effect of MTX density on sheep red cells on the lysis of cells by complement (C). Under conditions in which the density of IgG did not vary, the number of lytic IgG complexes remained approximately the same when the average distance between MTX molecules was between 5 and 7 nm, but decreased rapidly with an average distance less than 10 nm. The results were interpreted to mean that in addition to aggregation for IgG to acquire maximal C in fixing and activating properties, the angle of the Fab arms of the molecule must not be larger than about 50 to 60 degrees. The data also suggested IgG molecules with Fab angles of less than about 30 degrees might also not be able to induce C-mediated cell lysis.A Circolo, T Borsos
