Abstract:
:Kinetic studies of reactions between fluorescein and antifluorescein antibody produced during early, intermediate, and late stages of the immune response have been carried out utilizing both fluorescence intensity and polarization measurements in the static (time constant similar to 5 sec) and in the stopped-flow modes (time constant similar to 5 msec). During maturation of the immune response, it was found that the "on" second-order association rate constant increased its value only by a factor of three, whereas the "off" dissociation first-order rate constant decreased by a factor of over 1000. Hence, it is the rate of dissociation which largely determines the stability of the hapten-antihapten complex. Furthermore, since second-order rate behavior was found for even heterogeneous antibody, most of the heterogeneity with respect to binding affinity occurs as a result of the heterogeneity in the rate of dissociation of the hapten-antihapten complex and not from the primary combination of hapten and antibody. Antifluorescein antibody which exhibits both high binding affinity (K similar to 5 x 10(11) M-1) and homogeneity with respect to equilibrium binding has been shown to obey second-order association kinetics over wide ranges in concentration. Despite the fact that the value of the second-order rate constant for this fluorescein-antifluorescein reaction is as large as that for most other hapten-antihapten reactions (1.4 x 10(8) M-1 sec-1), the binding reaction has an appreciable activation energy (7 kcal/mol). This is true for both divalent and univalent antibody. Furthermore, the reaction rate parameters are markedly affected by specific anions. The value of the second-order rate constant (18.5 degrees) increases according to the following scheme: salicylate less than trichloroacetate less than SCN- less than ClO4- less than Cl- less than F- less than phosphate. The activation energy increases as follows: trichloroacetate less than phosphate less than F- less than Cl- less than ClO4- less than SCN- less than salicylate, whereas estimates of the entropy of activation indicate that deltaS++ increases as follows: tricholroacetate less than phosphate similar to F- less than Cl- less than ClO4- less than SCN- less than salicylate. The same mechanism which was previously proposed by us for the antigen-antibody reaction is also consistent with the kinetics of the fluorescein-antifluorescein reaction. This mechanism postulates a bimolecular process with structural rearrangements (conformational changes and/or the loss of water) in the formation of the transition state complex. The reaction between the fluorescein hapten and its antibody hence is not diffusion limited.
