A monoclonal antibody (MAb 2F5) to a cell surface epitope labels a small subpopulation of tracheal epithelial cells in each thoracic and abdominal segment of Manduca. These cells (nodes) represent the sites within the tracheal network at which invaginating tracheal tubes join during embryonic establishment of the tracheal network. Tracheal nodes are also the sites at which tracheal cuticle fractures during each molt. Since tracheal cuticle is shed through each spiracle, a tracheal node lies between each pair of contralateral spiracles within a segment (commissural node) and between each pair of adjacent, ipsilateral spiracles (lateral longitudinal node). MAb 2F5 first labels presumptive nodal cells of tracheal epithelium immediately prior to the linking of epithelial tubes from successive and opposite spiracles. One cell at the tip of each invaginating tracheal branch labels with MAb 2F5. The highly localized expression of the cell surface epitope recognized by MAb 2F5 may be instrumental in the orderly coupling of tracheal branches during embryonic development. On the basis of immunolabeling of Western blots and tissues, MAb 2F5 is believed to recognize Manduca fasciclin II, a member of a class of molecules involved in cell adhesion/recognition.

Abstract A monoclonal antibody designated PI153/3, which reacts with neuroblastoma and fetal brain, is shown to identify also a cell surface determinant shared by pre-B and mature B cells and their corresponding leukemias including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, B acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and hairy cell leukemia, but not plasmacytoma. Almost all non-T, non-B acute “lymphoid” leukemias bind PI153/3. The latter includes 71 of 74 common ALL tested, most but not all “unclassified” or “null” ALL and cases of both acute undifferentiated leukemia and Ph1 positive chronic myeloid leukemia in blast crisis with common ALL phenotypes. The antigen is absent or present at very low density on normal and leukemic T lymphocyte, myeloid and erythroid cells. The determinant appears to co-redistribute with cell surface immunoglobulin in B lymphocytes and segregates independently of other cell surface antigens associated with B cells and/or cALL including HLA-DR (Ia-like antigens) and the cALL (gp 100) antigen.

PURPOSE To define the imaging and biodistribution characteristics of iodine 131-labeled monoclonal antibody (mAb) G250 (131I-mAbG250), which recognizes a cell-surface antigen expressed by human renal cell carcinoma (RCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS G250 is a cell-surface antigen recognized by mAbG250 expressed by RCC but not detected in normal kidney. Clear-cell RCC, the most frequent form of RCC, shows homogeneous expression of G250, whereas non-clear-cell RCC and cancers derived from other organs generally do not express G250. Expression in normal tissues is highly restricted and limited to large bile ducts and gastric epithelium. 131I-mAbG250 was administered intravenously (IV) to 16 patients with RCC 7 to 8 days before surgery at five dose levels, with at least three patients entered at each dose level. RESULTS Clear tumor images were observed in 12 patients with G250-positive tumors and in one of three patients with G250-negative tumors. Imaged lesions in the peritoneal cavity were confirmed at surgery. The smallest lesion visualized was 8 mm in diameter. The specificity of 131I-mAbG250 localization to tumor tissue was established by radioactivity measurements, autoradiography, and immunohistochemistry of biopsied tissues, and technetium 99-human serum albumin blood-flow studies. The fraction of the injected 131I-mAbG250 dose per gram tumor (%ID/g tumor) localized in G250-positive tumors showed a broad range, but reached levels as high as 0.02% to 0.12%. CONCLUSION 131I-mAbG250 localized specifically to G250 antigen-positive RCC and seems to have considerable potential as an imaging agent in RCC patients. 131I-mAbG250 uptake in the tumors, relative as well as absolute, are among the highest reported for tumor biopsies obtained 8 days after IV mAb administration. Based on the specific localization and high accumulation, mAb G250 may have therapeutic potential.

Inoculation of BALB/c mice with rhesus rotavirus (RRV) in the newborn period results in biliary epithelial cell (cholangiocyte) infection and the murine model of biliary atresia. Rotavirus infection of a cell requires attachment, which is governed in part by cell-surface expression of integrins such as α2β1. We hypothesized that cholangiocytes were susceptible to RRV infection because they express α2β1. RRV attachment and replication was measured in cell lines derived from cholangiocytes and hepatocytes. Flow cytometry was performed on these cell lines to determine whether α2β1 was present. Cholangiocytes were blocked with natural ligands, a monoclonal antibody, or small interfering RNA against the α2-subunit and were infected with RRV. The extrahepatic biliary tract of newborn mice was screened for the expression of the α2β1-integrin. Newborn mice were pretreated with a monoclonal antibody against the α2-subunit and were inoculated with RRV. RRV attached and replicated significantly better in cholangiocytes than in hepatocytes. Cholangiocytes, but not hepatocytes, expressed α2β1 in vitro and in vivo. Blocking assays led to a significant reduction in attachment and yield of virus in RRV-infected cholangiocytes. Pretreatment of newborn pups with an anti-α2 monoclonal antibody reduced the ability of RRV to cause biliary atresia in mice. Cell-surface expression of the α2β1-integrin plays a role in the mechanism that confers cholangiocyte susceptibility to RRV infection.
