Sixteen hybridoma-derived antibodies to the epidermal growth factor receptor of A431 ceils were studied with respect to their reactions with blood group-related carbohydrate structures. Twelve of these were assessed as recognizing carbohydrate determinants on the basis of their immunostaining of reference blood group substances on nitrocellulose paper. Three of these antibodies were further investigated by inhibition of binding assays with giycoproteins and structurally defined oligosaccharides or by haemagglutination of erythrocytes before and after treatment with endo-β-galactosidase. Two of the antibodies, 29.1 and 455, were shown to have blood group A-related specificities which differed from one another and from those of monocional anti-A antibodies described previously. The third antibody, 3CIB12, which was shown to recognize a determinant based on αl+3 fucosylated Type 2 chains on linear and branched backbone sequences, also differs from previously described monoclonal antibodies of 3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine type, such as anti-SSEA-1 (anti-mouse embryo) and several antibodies to human myeloid ceils. While these antibodies are invaluable in providing structural information on the carbohydrate chains of the receptor glycoprotein and should help to elucidate their functions, their use as ‘anti-receptor’ reagents in cell biology will be influenced by the knowledge that the determinants they recognize are shared by other glycoproteins and glycolipids of diverse cell types.

Abstract Background: The dysregulation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been implicated in the oncogenesis of various malignancies including glioblastoma and some epithelial cancers. Oncogenesis occurs from the overexpression of EGFR, often linked to gene amplification or receptor mutagenesis. The 287–302 loop in the extracellular domain is exposed completely on EGFR variant III (EGFRvIII), partially exposed on some cancers but cryptic on normal cells. We report on the generation of antibodies to this loop. Methods: The 286–303 peptide was coupled chemically to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. After immunizations, sera were assayed for reactivity to the peptide. Mice with high titers were used for hybridoma production. Purified antibodies were isolated from hybridoma supernatants, while V regions were cloned and sequenced. Receptor binding was characterized using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and flow cytometry. A recombinant immunotoxin was generated from the 40H3 antibody and its cytotoxic activity characterized on relevant cancer cell lines. Results: Seven monoclonal antibodies were generated to the 287–302 loop and characterized further. Each one reacted with EGFRvIII but not wild-type EGFR. Based on reactivity with the immunizing peptide, antibodies were mapped to one of three subgroups. One antibody, 40H3, also exhibited binding to MDA-MB-468 and A431 cells but not to non-cancerous WI-38 cells. Because of its unusual binding characteristics, a recombinant immunotoxin was generated from 40H3, which proved to be cytotoxic to MDA-MB-468, A431 and F98npEGFRvIII expressing cells. Conclusions: Immunization with a peptide corresponding to a cryptic epitope from EGFR can produce tumor cell-binding antibodies. The 40H3 antibody was engineered as a cytotoxic recombinant immunotoxin and could be further developed as a therapeutic agent.
