ABSTRACT Despite technological advances, no vaccine to prevent serogroup B meningococcal disease is available. The failure to develop a vaccine has shifted the focus to an alternative outer membrane structure, lipooligosaccharide (LOS), because disseminated disease induces bactericidal immunoglobulin G (IgG) that binds LOS. The purpose of this study was to identify the LOS structure(s) that induces human bactericidal IgG by purification and characterization of these antibodies. Human LOS IgG antibodies were affinity purified by passage of intravenous immunoglobulin through purified, type-specific LOS having a known structure coupled to epoxy-activated Sepharose 6B. Pathogenic group B strains representing the major LOS serotypes were used to examine the binding and bactericidal activities of four LOS-specific IgG preparations. All four LOS-specific IgG preparations bound to strains expressing homologous, as well as heterologous, LOS serotypes as determined by flow cytometry and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. With human complement, IgG that was purified with L7 LOS was bactericidal for strains expressing L3,7 and L2,4 LOS, serotypes expressed by the majority of disease-associated group B and C meningococci. In conclusion, we purified human LOS-specific IgG that binds meningococci across LOS glycose-specific serotypes. An antigen that is dependent on the glycose lacto-N-neotetraose induces IgG in humans that is bactericidal for L2, L3, L4, and L7 strains. A vaccine containing this antigen would have the potential to protect against the vast majority of group B meningococcal strains.

SummaryTissue-type plasminogen activator (TPA) was purified from maxillary mucosa with chronic inflammation and compared with urokinase. Purification procedure consisted of the extraction from delipidated mucosa with 0.3M potassium acetate buffer (pH 4.2), 66% saturation of ammonium sulfate, zinc chelate-Sepharose, concanavalin A-Sepharose and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration chromatographies.The molecular weight of the TPA was approximately 58,000 ± 3,000. Its activity was enhanced in the presence of fibrin and was quenched by placental urokinase inhibitor, but not quenched by anti-urokinase antibody. The TPA made no precipitin line against anti-urokinase antibody, while urokinase did.All these findings indicate that the TPA in maxillary mucosa with chronic inflammation is immunologically dissimilar to urokinase and in its affinity for fibrin.

For the purification of the abnormal prothrombin (Pt Metz), advantage has been taken of the existence in the family of three siblings who, being double heterozygotes for Pt Metz and a hypoprothrombinemia, have no normal Pt. Purification procedures included barium citrate adsorption and chromatography on DEAE Sephadex as for normal Pt. As opposed to some other variants (Pt Barcelona and Madrid), Pt Metz elutes as a single symetrical peak. By SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, this material is homogeneous and appears to have the same molecular weight as normal Pt. Comigration of normal and abnormal Pt in the absence of SDS, shows a double band suggesting an abnormal charge for the variant. Pt Metz exhibits an identity reaction with the control by double immunodiffusion. Upon activation by factor Xa, Pt Metz can generate amydolytic activity on Bz-Phe-Val-Arg-pNa (S2160), but only a very low clotting activity. Clear abnormalities are observed in the cleavage pattern of Pt Metz when monitored by SDS gel electrophoresis. The main feature are the accumulation of prethrombin l (Pl) and the appearance of abnormal intermediates migrating faster than Pl.
