Passive immunization with an anti-substance P antibody prevents substance P- and neurokinin A-induced bronchospasm in anesthetized guinea-pigs.

Abstract：

:In a guinea-pig model of asthma, active immunization against substance P (SP) prevented the development of airways' hyperresponsiveness and reduced bronchospastic responses to SP (i.v.). The rat-mouse heterohybridoma NC1/34 secretes a specific, rat IgG1, anti-substance P antibody (alpha-SP Ab) which was isolated and purified by passing supernatant from cultures through thiophilic gel. Purity of antibody was about 50% (SDS-PAGE). The relative affinities of the alpha-SP Ab for SP, neurokinin A (NKA) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) were estimated by ELISA using a constant amount of SP coupled (glutaraldehyde) to bovine serum albumin (BSA) to capture the antibody, alone and in the presence of increasing concentrations of the neuropeptides. At alpha-SP Ab dilutions of 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 32,000, CGRP did not prevent antibody binding to SP-BSA conjugate bound to the plates, but both SP and NKA prevented binding. In this system, the relative affinity of the alpha-SP Ab, at dilutions of 1 in 5,000 and 1 in 10,000, was about 50 times greater for SP than NKA. Whether passive immunization with alpha-SP Ab prevented bronchospastic responses to SP and NKA (i.v.), in vivo, was determined in groups of anesthetized guinea-pigs by recording pulmonary flow resistance (RL) and dynamic pulmonary elastance (EL). Injection of alpha-SP Ab (i.v., 5:1 molar ratio: alpha-SP Ab:SP total dose) did not alter baseline values of RL and EL, but markedly inhibited increases in RL and EL induced by SP and NKA (i.v.) without affecting responses to methacholine (i.v.). A control, "irrelevant" rat IgG-type antibody at a similar concentration had no effect on responses to SP or NKA. These findings indicate that passive immunization with a monoclonal alpha-SP Ab can prevent the bronchospastic effects of exogenous SP and NKA in guinea-pigs.
