ABSTRACT

High priority stereospecific targeting (SST) featuring selective production of conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies was directed against a native receptor, EphA2 (ephrin type-A receptor 2). A critical point for this technology is selection of sensitized B lymphocytes by antigen-expressing myeloma cells through their B-cell receptors (BCRs). The essential point is that antigens expressed on myeloma cells retain their original three dimensional structures and only these are recognized. Immunization with recombinant plasmid vectors as well as antigen-expressing CHO cells elicits enhanced sensitization of target B lymphocytes generating stereospecific antibodies. More than 24% of hybridoma-positive wells were identified to be cell-ELISA positive, confirming high efficiency. IgG-typed conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies could be also produced by the SST technique. Immunofluorescence analysis confirmed specific binding of sensitized B lymphocytes to antigen-expressing myeloma cells. Furthermore, stereospecific monoclonal antibodies to EphA2 specifically recognized EphA2-expressing cancer cells as demonstrated by Cell-ELISA. In the present study, we were able to develop priority technology for selective production of conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies against an intact receptor EphA2, known to be overexpressed by epithelial tumor cells of multiple cancer types.
