An epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor-interactive monoclonal antibody (151-IgG) that inhibits EGF binding to PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells and to various other cell types has been produced. The hybridoma clone was obtained by fusing Sp2/O-Ag14 myeloma cells with splenocytes from Balb/C mice which had been immunized with n-octyl glucoside-solubilized protein from isolated PC12 cell plasma membranes. The antibody is an IgG which binds to protein A. 151-IgG did not bind EGF. At 0.5 degrees C 151-IgG was directly competitive for EGF binding to PC12 cells. It also inhibited EGF binding to bovine corneal endothelial cells, rabbit corneal fibroblasts, human foreskin fibroblasts, and normal rat kidney cells, and it slightly enchanced EGF binding to SW 3T3 cells. PC12 cells have the same number of binding sites for 151-IgG as for EGF (approximately 27,000 sites/cell). 151-IgG inhibited the photoactivatable cross-linking of EGF to a protein of Mr 170,000 in PC12 cells. 151-IgG inhibited the EGF-stimulated incorporation of [3H]thymidine into quiescent bovine corneal endothelial cells, rabbit corneal endothelial cells, epithelial normal rat kidney cells, and SW 3T3 cells while it enhanced the EGF-stimulated [3H]thymidine incorporation into quiescent human foreskin fibroblasts. 151-IgG by itself possessed intrinsic EGF-like activity for human fibroblasts but not for the other cells tested. This suggests that there is a difference in EGF receptors and/or processing in these normal cell types. |
