Characterization of three monoclonal antibodies which induce and modulate superoxide anion generation in guinea pig macrophages.
Three monoclonal antibodies (Ab), termed KY 12, KY 22, and KY 25 and raised against guinea pig macrophages, induced superoxide anion (O2-) generation in the cells. Although each monoclonal Ab bound to macrophages, each had a different pattern of binding to other cell types. In response to each of the Ab, the amount of O2- generated by 5 X 10(5) macrophages was between 0.5 and 0.7 nmol/min and was augmented threefold to fivefold by the addition of F(ab')2 fragments of rabbit Abs to mouse Ig. When macrophages were pretreated with soluble immune complexes (I.C.) prior to stimulation by the monoclonal Ab, the O2- generation stimulated by KY 12 or KY 22 was reduced by more than 70%. In contrast, pretreatment of macrophages with I.C. did not reduce O2- generation in response to KY 25. KY 12 and KY 22 stimulated adenyl cyclase activity in macrophages, but KY 25 did not. Pretreatment of the cells with soluble I.C. did not interfere with the enhancing effect of the monoclonal Ab on adenyl cyclase activity. Pretreatment of macrophages with KY 12 reduced by over 60% of subsequent generation of O2- in response to wheat germ agglutinin, I.C., formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine, phorbol myristate acetate, KY 22, or KY 25. KY 22 or KY 25 did not suppress the generation of O2- in response to other stimuli. These results suggest that KY 22 and KY 25 activate O2- generation in a manner that differs from that of KY 12. These monoclonal Ab should prove useful in examining the regulation of O2- production.
