Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:In future pig-to-man xenotransplantation it is important to master tools that identify potentially xenogenic alphagalactose (Galalpha) antigens in the doner tissue. DESIGN AND METHODS:We have measured the binding potentials of Galalpha detecting lectins and antibodies, including a naturally occurring subfraction from human serum, to Galalpha containing neoglycoproteins and mouse laminin that were immobilized on microtiter plates. RESULTS:Galalpha reactive antibodies with similar monosaccharide specificity have distinct structural preference for sugar ligands. Laminin and neoglycoproteins were treated with alpha-galactosidase and subsequently incubated with antibodies and lectins. The enzyme treatment was more deleterious on antibody binding than on lectin binding. CONCLUSION:Antibodies and lectins may bind to different galactose determinants on the glycoproteins. Two anti-Galalpha1 antibodies that both have been raised against glycans on rabbit red blood cells may recognize Galalpha-antigens with varying specificities. Binding results obtained after digestion with alpha-galactosidase indicate that some xenoreactive Galalpha groups are not directly accessible for removal by the enzyme.
