Effect of 2Me, DTT, ZAAP and Enzyme on JMH Antigen on the Surface of Human Erythrocytes / 中国实验血液学杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To explore the the effects of 2-Me, DTT, papain, pineapple protease and ZZAP on the antigenicity of JMH antigen of human red blood cells (RBC) surface.@*METHODS@#Firstly, human RBC were treated with 2-Me, DTT, pineapple protease, papain and ZZAP reagents, respectively. The antigenicity of JMH antigen on human RBC surface was detected and analyzed by flow cytometry.@*RESULTS@#Flow cytometric analysis found that compared with level before treatment, the antigenicity of JMH antigen on RBC surface was significantly reduced after 2-Me treatment, the positive rate of JMH antigen: 69.5%±4.5% vs 56.5%±3.4% (t=12.44, P＜0.01); fluorescence intensity: 4906±317 vs 3003±165 (t=11.84, P＜0.01). The antigenicity of JMH antigen on RBC surface significantly increased after DTT treatment, showing the positive rate of JMH antigen: 61.7%±3.8% vs 75.5±4.9% (t=16.57, P＜0.01), fluorescence intensity: 4044±294 vs 4854±319 (t=15.46, P＜0.01). However, both bromelain and papain could significantly reduce the antigenicity of JMH antigen on the RBC surface, Bromelain: the positive rate of JMH antigen: 62.2%±3.8% vs 8.8%±1.2% (t=26.44, P＜0.01), fluorescence intensity: 4263±273 vs 1444±212 (t=19.27, P＜0.01); Papain: the positive rate of JMH antigen: 62.8%±3.6% vs 8.8%±1.5% (t=21.38, P＜0.01), fluorescence intensity: 4389±284 vs 1458±230 (t=17.49, P＜0.01). The flow cytometric analysis revealed that ZZAP treatment significantly reduced the antigenicity of JMH antigen on the RBC surface, the positive rate of JMH antigen: 62.2%±4.4% vs 48.2%±4.1% (t=14.87, P＜0.01), fluorescence intensity: 4106±263 vs 2063±175 (t=17.49, P＜0.01).@*CONCLUSION@#The treatment with 2-Me can reduce the antigenicity of JMH antigen on human RBC surface. The antigenicity of JMH antigen on human RBC surface increased after DTT treatment. The antigenicity of JMH antigen on human RBC surface significantly reduces after the treatment with pineapple protease or papain. ZZAP treatment can reduce the antigenicity of JMH antigen on the RBC surface.
