title: Cytolytic activity of murine anti-dog lymphoma monoclonal antibodies with canine effector cells and complement.
abstract: Peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL), nonadherent lymphocytes, and adherent monocytes separated from freshly isolated blood of 15 dogs were analyzed for their ability to mediate antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) in combination with murine anti-tumor monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Canine monocytes isolated from most donors by adherence to gelatin-fibronectin-coated plastic surface presented high ADCC activity against the canine lymphoma 17-71 tumor cell line in combination with antilymphoma MAbs 231 (IgG2a) and 234-2a (IgG2a). Canine lymphocytes generally showed lower ADCC activity than total PBL or monocytes. Canine PBL effector cells showed high ADCC activity against the human colorectal carcinoma SW948 cell line using the Y-6-specific MAb isotype switch variants 55-2 IgG3, 55-2 IgG1, 55-2 IgG2b, and 55-2 IgG2a. Analysis of the role of murine MAb isotypes on ADCC activity against tumors by canine cells using anti-human tumor class-switch variant MAbs and a panel of anti-canine lymphoma MAbs of different IgG subclass revealed the highest ADCC activity with MAbs of the IgG2a and IgG3 subclasses. IgG2a antilymphoma MAbs were also able to lyse tumor cells in complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) assay. These results suggest the potential value of MAbs of IgG3 and IgG2a subclasses in immunotherapy against canine lymphoma.
