Expression of monovalent fragments derived from a human IgM autoantibody in E. Coli. The input of the somatically mutated CDR1/CDR2 and of the CDR3 into antigen binding specificity
Expression of monovalent fragments derived from a human IgM autoantibody in E. Coli. The input of the somatically mutated CDR1/CDR2 and of the CDR3 into antigen binding specificity
A hybridoma producing a polyspecific human monoclonal IgM antibody (named CB03) has been derived from a fusion of mouse myeloma cells with human spleen lymphocytes obtained from an autoimmune patient suffering from chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenia. The antibody was found to be encoded by somatically mutated VHI and VlambdaIII genes. To study the input of mutated complementarity regions (CDRs) into antibody specificity, the antigen binding features of the purified complete IgM antibody were compared with (i) a Fab fragment obtained by hot tryptic digestion and (ii) recombinant monovalent fragments expressed in E. coli. In detail, vectors were constructed encoding for (i) rFab03 and single chain Fv03 fragments containing the VH and VL genes connected by a linker sequence, (ii) scFcl.l. fragments containing the VH germline equivalent and the CB03 wild-type CDR3 region, and (iii) scFv fragments containing the CDR1 and CDR2 in germline configuration and the CDR3 expressed in the CB253 human fetal B cell hybridoma producing a polyspecific IgM antibody. The expression vectors contained at the 3' end either a (His)6 motif allowing purification on Ni2+-agarose or a e-m yc tag for specifically detecting the expression products by a murine monoclonal antibody.

Abstract
A hybridoma producing a polyspecific human monoclonal IgM antibody (named CB03) has been derived from a fusion of mouse myeloma cells with human spleen lymphocytes obtained from an autoimmune patient suffering from chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenia. The antibody was found to be encoded by somatically mutated VHI and VlambdaIII genes. To study the input of mutated complementarity regions (CDRs) into antibody specificity, the antigen binding features of the purified complete IgM antibody were compared with (i) a Fab fragment obtained by hot tryptic digestion and (ii) recombinant monovalent fragments expressed in E. coli. In detail, vectors were constructed encoding for (i) rFab03 and single chain Fv03 fragments containing the VH and VL genes connected by a linker sequence, (ii) scFcl.l. fragments containing the VH germline equivalent and the CB03 wild-type CDR3 region, and (iii) scFv fragments containing the CDR1 and CDR2 in germline configuration and the CDR3 expressed in the CB253 human fetal B cell hybridoma producing a polyspecific IgM antibody. The expression vectors contained at the 3' end either a (His)6 motif allowing purification on Ni2+-agarose or a e-m yc tag for specifically detecting the expression products by a murine monoclonal antibody.
