Duck egg lysozyme (DEL) is a widely used model antigen owing to its capacity to bind with differential affinity to anti-chicken egg lysozyme antibodies. However, no structures of DEL have so far been reported, and the situation had been complicated by the presence of multiple isoforms and conflicting reports of primary sequence. Here, the structures of two DEL isoforms from the eggs of the commonly used Pekin duck (Anas platyrhynchos) are reported. Using structural analyses in combination with mass spectrometry, non-ambiguous DEL primary sequences are reported. Furthermore, the structures and sequences determined here enable rationalization of the binding affinity of DEL for well documented landmark anti-lysozyme antibodies.

Abstract In experimental arthritis, glucocorticoid secretion is inadequate relative to inflammation. We hypothesized that IL-1 is a key factor for inadequate glucocorticoid secretion in arthritic rats. Collagen type II—induced arthritis (CIA) in DA rats was the model to study effects of IL-1 on adrenal function. In the CIA model, an increase of intraadrenal MHCII-positive cells was observed. MHCII-positive cells or bone marrow-derived dendritic cells inhibited glucocorticoid secretion of adrenal gland cells. IL-1, but also IL-18 and the inflammasome were critical in glucocorticoid inhibition. Arthritic compared to control adrenal gland cells produced higher amounts of CXC chemokines from MHCII+ adrenal cells, particularly CINC-2, which is strongly dependent on presence of IL-1. In CIA, macrophages and/or dendritic cells inhibit glucocorticoid secretion via IL-1 in adrenal glands. These findings show that activated macrophages and/or dendritic cells inhibit glucocorticoid secretion in experimental arthritis and that IL-1β is a decisive factor.
