The monoclonal antibody 5G10 reacted specifically with an 80-kD integral membrane protein in rat basophilic leukemia (RBL) cells. Immunofluorescence microscopy studies of RBL cells, fixed and permeabilized, revealed that the 80-kD protein was located in the membrane of cytoplasmic vesicles. The vesicles were identified as secretory granules by their content in immunoreactive serotonin. Expression of the 5G10 antigen on the surface of unstimulated RBL cells was low. However, RBL cells stimulated to secrete with anti-dinitrophenyl IgE followed by dinitrophenyl-bovine serum albumin or with the Ca2+ ionophore A-23187 displayed an increased expression of the antigen on their surface. Surface exposure of the 5G10 antigen was maximal at 5 min after stimulation of secretion. Removal of dinitrophenyl-bovine serum albumin from the incubation medium resulted in internalization of 50% of the antigen within 10 min.

ABSTRACT Passive immunization with a mouse monoclonal antibody against progesterone, designated DB3, blocks pregnancy in several species. We have previously reported that DB3 localizes in the mouse uterine epithelium shortly before normal implantation. This phenomenon is pregnancy dependent and specific for the progesterone antibody. In this study we demonstrate that DB3 is present in the lumen of the uterus 36 h after an i.p. injection; this correlates with the time of maximum antibody reaction on the uterine epithelium. Incubation of DB3 with free progesterone, progesterone-hemisuccinate or progesterone—bovine serum albumin before administration prevented its localization on the epithelium, indicating that the localization requires free progesterone-binding sites and thus probably depends upon progesterone binding. In addition, studies in vitro show that DB3 can effectively bind to progesterone carried by high-affinity progesterone-binding protein purified from coypu plasma. We suggest that specific targeting of DB3 may be through progesterone associated with a progesterone-binding molecule on the membrane of the uterine epithelia. This may be an important part of the mechanism of antibody action against implantation.

We recently described an artificial substrate system which could be used to optimize labeling parameters in EM immunocytochemistry (ICC). The system utilizes blocks of glutaraldehyde polymerized bovine serum albumin (BSA) into which an antigen is incorporated by a soaking procedure. The resulting antigen impregnated blocks can then be fixed and embedded as if they are pieces of tissue and the effects of fixation, embedding and other parameters on the ability of incorporated antigen to be immunocyto-chemically labeled can then be assessed. In developing this system further, we discovered that the BSA substrate can also be dried and then sectioned for immunolabeling with or without prior chemical fixation and without exposing the antigen to embedding reagents. The effects of fixation and embedding protocols can thus be evaluated separately.
