The reaction kinetics of 125I-labelled mouse monoclonal antibodies binding to three cell-surface antigens of rat thymocytes (Thy-1.1, W3/25) were studied. The differences between bivalent and univalent interactions were determined by using antibody in the F(ab′)2 or Fab′ form and by using antigen in polymeric or monomeric forms. Association rate constants (k+1), dissociation rate constants (k-1) and equilibrium constants were determined. Also, the dissociation kinetics of rabbit antibodies against rat Thy-1 antigen were studied. The major findings were as follows. (i) With F(ab′)2 antibody there was no simple relationship between antigen density at the cell surface and extent of bivalent binding. Extensive univalent binding was observed unless the antibody had a high k-1 for the univalent interaction, in which case all binding was bivalent. (ii) k+1 values were similar for F(ab′)2 or Fab′ antibody, and for the different antibodies were in the range 0.8 × 10(5)–1.1 × 10(6) M-1.s-1. These differences were sufficient to affect the interpretation of serological assays with the different antibodies. (iii) Antibody bound bivalently dissociated much more slowly than that bound univalently. However, the k-1 values for the univalently bound antibody were sufficiently low in most cases that the lifetime of the univalent complex was similar to or greater than the time needed for the assay. Thus the results could be interpreted on the basis of irreversible reactions. The overall conclusion from the study is that for an understanding of the binding of antibody to cell-surface antigens the kinetics of the interaction are of major importance and theories based on equilibrium binding are inappropriate.

The structurally related T cell surface molecules CD28 and CTLA-4 interact with cell surface ligands CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2) on antigen-presenting cells (APC) and modulate T cell antigen recognition. Preliminary reports have suggested that CD80 binds CTLA-4 and CD28 with affinities (Kd values ∼12 and ∼200 nM, respectively) that are high when compared with other molecular interactions that contribute to T cell–APC recognition. In the present study, we use surface plasmon resonance to measure the affinity and kinetics of CD80 binding to CD28 and CTLA-4. At 37°C, soluble recombinant CD80 bound to CTLA-4 and CD28 with Kd values of 0.42 and 4 μM, respectively. Kinetic analysis indicated that these low affinities were the result of very fast dissociation rate constants (koff); sCD80 dissociated from CD28 and CTLA-4 with koff values of ⩾1.6 and ⩾0.43 s−1, respectively. Such rapid binding kinetics have also been reported for the T cell adhesion molecule CD2 and may be necessary to accommodate dynamic T cell–APC contacts and to facilitate scanning of APC for antigen.

The complexation dynamics of the triplet excited state of xanthone with β-cyclodextrin were studied at various temperatures between 10 and 50 °C. Association and dissociation rate constants were determined using the laser flash photolysis quenching methodology with Cu2+ as a quencher. The rate constants for the association and dissociation of triplet xanthone with β-cyclodextrin increased with temperature, while the equilibrium constant for the triplet excited state remained relatively constant. Equilibrium constants for the ground-state complexation of xanthone with β-cyclodextrin were determined from fluorescence studies at various temperatures. The ground-state binding efficiency decreased with temperature and was markedly greater than that of the triplet excited state at all temperatures. The enthalpy and entropy for the β-cyclodextrin complex formation of the ground and triplet excited states fall on the enthalpy–entropy compensation relationship previously established for cyclodextrin complexes. The activation enthalpies for the association and dissociation rate constants for triplet xanthone are similar. The activation entropy is favorable for the association process, whereas a negative activation entropy was measured for the dissociation process, suggesting that solvation plays a key role in the complex formation between xanthone and β-cyclodextrin.

Myoglobin (Mb) buffers intracellular O2 and facilitates diffusion of O2 through the cell. These functions of Mb will be most effective when intracellular Po 2 is near the partial pressure of oxygen at which Mb is half saturated (P50) of the molecule. We test the hypothesis that Mb oxygen affinity has evolved such that it is conserved when adjusted for body temperature among closely related animals. We measure oxygen P50s tonometrically and oxygen dissociation rate constants with stopped flow and generate amino acid sequence from cDNA of Mbs from fish with different body temperatures. P50s for the endothermic bluefin tuna, skipjack tuna, and blue marlin at 20°C were 0.62 ± 0.02, 0.59 ± 0.01, 0.58 ± 0.04 mmHg, respectively, and were significantly lower than those for ectothermic bonito (1.03 ± 0.07 mmHg) and mackerel (1.39 ± 0.03 mmHg). Because the oxygen affinity of Mb decreases with increasing temperature, the above differences in oxygen affinity between endothermic and ectothermic fish are reduced when adjusted for the in vivo muscle temperature of the animal. Oxygen dissociation rate constants at 20°C for the endothermic species ranged from 34.1 to 49.3 s−1, whereas those for mackerel and bonito were 102 and 62 s−1, respectively. Correlated with the low oxygen affinity and fast dissociation kinetics of mackerel Mb is a substitution of alanine for proline that would likely result in a more flexible mackerel protein.

The three human embryonic haemoglobins have been studied using a range of stopped-flow and flash photolysis experiments. The association and dissociation kinetics and equilibrium constants for the tetramer–dimer reactions of the deoxy and oxygenated forms have been investigated and found to be characterized by constants similar to those of the human adult protein. The rates of oxygen dissociation from the embryonic haemoglobins have been measured and appear to be responsible for the high oxygen-binding affinity associated with the embryonic proteins compared with the adult protein. The pH dependence of the oxygen dissociation rate constants also accounts for the rather unusual, previously described, Bohr effects characteristic of the embryonic haemoglobins. A general scheme has been developed coupling both the dimer–tetramer equilibria and ligand-binding steps observed following photolysis of the liganded forms of the human embryonic haemoglobins.

Identification of cellular phenotype by cell surface antigens in conjunction with ultrastructural analysis of cellular morphology can be a useful tool in the study of biologic processes as well as in diagnostic histopathology. In this abstract, we describe a simple pre-embedding, protein A-gold staining method which is designed for cell suspensions combining the handling convenience of slide-mounted cell monolayers and the ability to evaluate specimen staining specificity prior to EM embedding.
