What is immunoglobulin ?
Immunoglobulin's are glycoprotein molecules that are produced by plasma cells in response to an immunogen and which function as antibodies. The immunoglobulins derive their name from the finding that they migrate with globular proteins when antibody-containing serum is placed in an electrical field

IgMStructure IgM normally exists as a pentamer (19S immunoglobulin) but it can also exist as a monomer. In the pentameric form all heavy chains are identical and all light chains are identical. Thus, the valence is theoretically 10. IgM has an extra domain on the mu chain (CH4) and it has another protein covalently bound via a S-S bond called the J chain. This chain functions in polymerization of the molecule into a pentamer.

![Page 8: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
IgM Properties
a) IgM is the third most common serum Ig.
b) IgM is the first Ig to be made by the fetus and the first Ig to be made by a virgin B cells when it is stimulated by antigen.
c) As a consequence of its pentameric structure, IgM is a good complement fixing Ig. Thus, IgM antibodies are very efficient in leading to the lysis of microorganisms.
![Page 9: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
IgM Properties
d) As a consequence of its structure, IgM is also a good agglutinating Ig . Thus, IgM antibodies are very good in clumping microorganisms for eventual elimination from the body.
e) IgM binds to some cells via Fc receptors.
f) B cell surface Ig
![Page 10: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Surface IgM exists as a monomer and lacks J chain but it has an extra 20 amino acids at the C-terminus to anchor it into the membrane. Cell surface IgM functions as a receptor for antigen on B cells.
![Page 11: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Surface IgM is non covalently associated with two additional proteins in the membrane of the B cell called Ig-alpha and Ig-beta. These additional proteins act as signal transducing molecules since the cytoplasmic tail of the Ig molecule itself is too short to transduce a signal.
![Page 12: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
IgD
![Page 13: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
IgD Properties
a) IgD is found in low levels in serum; its role in serum uncertain.
b) IgD is primarily found on B cell surfaces where it functions as a receptor for antigen. IgD on the surface of B cells has extra amino acids at C-terminal end for anchoring to the membrane. It also associates with the Ig-alpha and Ig-beta chains.
c) IgD does not bind complement.
![Page 14: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
IgE structure
![Page 15: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
IgE Properties
a) IgE is the least common serum Ig since it binds very tightly to Fc receptors on basophils and mast cells even before interacting with antigen.
b) Involved in allergic reactions - As a consequence of its binding to basophils an mast cells, IgE is involved in allergic reactions. Binding of the allergen to the IgE on the cells results in the release of various pharmacological mediators that result in allergic symptoms.
![Page 16: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
IgE Properties
c) IgE also plays a role in parasitic helminth diseases. Since serum IgE levels rise in parasitic diseases, measuring IgE levels is helpful in diagnosing parasitic infections. Eosinophils have Fc receptors for IgE and binding of eosinophils to IgE-coated helminths results in killing of the parasite.
d) IgE does not fix complement.

Monoclonal antibodies are antibodies that are identical because they were produced by one type of immune cell, all clones of a single parent cell
Polyclonal antibodies are antibodies that are derived from different cell lines
Epitope, also known as antigenic determinant, is the part of an antigen that is recognized by the immune system specifically by antibodies, B cells, or T cells.
![Page 23: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In 1975, Georges Kohler and Cesar Milstein first fused lymphocytes to produce a cell line which was both immortal and a producer of specific antibodies. The two scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1984 for the development of this "hybridoma." The value of hybridomas to the field was not truly appreciated until about 1987, when MAbs were regularly produced in rodents for diagnostics.
![Page 24: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Monoclonal antibodies
Antibodies produced from a single clone of B cells.
Produced by fusing a B cell secreting the desired antibody with a myeloma cell capable of growing indefinitely in tissue culture.
Monoclonal antibodies all have identical antigen-binding sites. Thus they all bind to the same epitope with the same affinity. They are all of the same antibody class (isotype).
![Page 25: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Hybridomas Technique
B lymphocytes can mutate into tumor cells that result in a type of cancer termed myeloma.
- Myeloma cells become “immortal” and will grow indefinitely in culture.
- Fusion of a single activated B cell and a myeloma cell will create a hybridoma that can grow indefinitely in culture
![Page 26: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Hybridoma SelectionThe “HAT Trick”
Myeloma cells have been genetically engineered such that they can not use hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine (HAT medium) as a source for nucleic acid biosynthesis and will die in culture.
Only B cells that have fused with the engineered myeloma cells will survive in culture when grown in HAT medium.

USES
Monoclonal antibodies can be used to treat viral diseases, traditionally considered "untreatable". In fact, there is some evidence to suggest that antibodies may lead to a cure for AIDS. Monoclonal antibodies can be used to classify strains of a single pathogen, e.g. Neisseria gonorrhoeae can be typed using mAB.To identify and to trace specific cells or molecules in an organism.

Affinity chromatography:1. Bind antibody to a support matrix (e.g.
sepharose gel)2. Add protein mixture - antigen binds to antibody
on support3. Wash to remove unbound material4. Lower pH - antibody releases the antigen - which
is now free of contaminants

Monoclonal antibodies for cancer treatment
Three mechanisms that could be responsible for the cancer treatment.
1. mAbs act directly when binding to a cancer specific antigens and induce immunological response to cancer cells. Such as inducing cancer cell apoptosis, inhibiting growth, or interfering with a key function
![Page 40: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Monoclonal antibodies for cancer treatment
2. mAbs can be modified for delivery of a toxin, radioisotope, cytokine or other active conjugates.
3. it is also possible to design bispecific antibodies that can bind with their Fab regions both to target antigen and to a conjugate or effector cell
![Page 41: Immunoglobulin and Monoclonal antibodies Reported by Ganesh M.Sc.D endo student.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052414/56649e705503460f94b6d28c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Drawbacks of Monoclonal Antibodies
Since monoclonal antibodies produce antibodies to a single determinant, they do not form the lattice necessary for precipitation and so cannot be used in precipitation assays,
radial immunodiffusion, immunoelectrophoresis or agar gel diffusion.
Very high titer antibodies also pose certain difficulties
