Abstract Individuals with the Tn blood group contain terminal serine/threonine- linked N-acetylgalactosamine residues in their blood cells. This is due to lack of UDP-D-galactose: D-N-acetyl galactosamine beta-D-galactosyl transferase from part of their red cells and probably from their leukocytes. We have established B lymphoblastoid cell lines from such an individual by in vitro infection of his lymphocytes with Epstein- Barr virus. The original line contained a mixture of cells reactive and nonreactive with Helix pomatia lectin (Hp). These cells were subcloned after staining with fluorescent Hp by a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) into homogeneous, phenotypically stable lines of Hp- positive (Hp+) and Hp-negative (Hp-) cells. The molecular differences between the membrane glycoproteins were characterized by carbohydrate- specific surface labeling techniques, Hp affinity chromatography, polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis and glycopeptide/oligosaccharide analysis. The major O-glycosidic membrane glycoprotein (GP105) was retained on Hp-Sepharose columns only from Hp+ cells, whereas the common leukocyte antigen (GP160–200) was partially retained on Hp columns from both lines. These proteins were isolated by immune precipitation with monoclonal antibodies and characterized. The results show that the GP105 glycoprotein from Hp+ cells contains terminal N-acetylgalactosamine residues but also more complex oligosaccharides. The common leukocyte antigen showed different electrophoretic mobilities in Hp+ and Hp- cells. UDP-galactose D-N- acetyl galactosamine beta-galactosyl transferase was almost absent in the Hp+ cells. These cell lines are useful for studies on the functional role and regulation of the biosynthesis of O-glycosidic carbohydrates.

A procedure is described to select mutants of Chinese hamster ovary cells that are conditionally defective for the cell-surface expression of integral membrane glycoproteins, including the hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza virus. Using a combination of cell sorting and biochemical screening, seven cell lines were obtained that express more cell-surface HA at 32 degrees C than at 39 degrees C. The production of infectious vesicular stomatitis virus, whose growth requires insertion of an integral membrane protein into the plasma membrane, was also temperature conditional in the majority of these mutant cell lines. Five of the lines synthesized apparently normally core-glycosylated HA at the elevated temperature but the protein was neither displayed on the cell surface nor accumulated intracellularly. In these cell lines, little or no terminally glycosylated HA molecules were observed after synthesis at 39 degrees C. By contrast, the core glycosylation of HA and several other integral membrane proteins was abnormal in the remaining two cell lines at both permissive and restrictive temperatures, due to a lesion in a cellular gene(s) that affects the formation of and/or the addition of mannose-rich oligosaccharide chains to newly synthesized polypeptides. Although HA was transported to the plasma membrane at both 32 and 39 degrees C, it did not accumulate on the cell surface at the higher temperature, apparently because of an increased rate of degradation.

Human monoclonal antibodies specific for platelet membrane glycoproteins (GPs) arepotentially important reagentsfor studies of the immunogenicity of membrane glycoproteins. A human monoclonalautoantibody, 5E5, reactive with plateletGPIIIa has been developed (Nugent, et al.,Blood, 1987, in press). In this report, we describe the production of additional human monoclonal antibodies specific for GPIIIa. Peripheral blood lymphocytes fromone patient with post-transfusion purpur(PTP) and one woman who had delivered an infant with neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (NATP) were used as a source of antigen-specific lymphocytes. A B-lympho-cyte-enriched population was transformed with Epstein Barr virus, strain B95-8, and cultured in microtiter plates. After two weeks, culture supernatants were screened by an antigen-capture ELISA wherein murine monoclonal antibody specificfor the GPIIb-IIIa complex was used to holdcorresponding antigen from a lysate ofnormal platelets. B-lymphoblastoid cell lines producing IgG and/or IgM antibodies were expanded and either cloned by limiting dilution technqiue or hybridized with a HAT-sensitive, ouabain-resistant heterohybrid fusion line, F6, using polyethylene glycol. Hybridomas were selected in medium containing HAT andouabain. After twoweeks, hybridomas producing anti-GPIIb and/or anti-GPIIIa antibody were cloned by limiting dilution. Culture supernatants from cloned B-lymphoblastoid cell lines and cloned hybridomas were rescreened by ELISA wherein affinity-purified GPIIIa or other platelet GP weredirectly conjugatedto microtiter plates. One IgM antibody produced by acloned B-lymphoblastoid cellline (CH16) andtwo IgG antibodies produced bycloned hybridomas(Del5.19 and Del5.23) were shownto react with GPIIIa but not other GP. Further characterization of these human monoclonal antibodies, produced continuouslyin culture now for four months, is in progress.
