| Popis: | Fab preparations of sheep polyclonal anti-digoxin Abs have proven useful for reversal of the toxic effects of digoxin overdoses in patients. Unfortunately, the use of foreign species proteins in humans is limited because of the potential for immunological responses that include hypersensitivity reactions and acute anaphylaxis. Immunization of recently developed transgenic mice, whose endogenous μ heavy and κ light chain Ig genes are inactivated and which carry human Ig gene segments, with a digoxin-protein conjugate has enabled us to generate and isolate eight hybridoma cell lines secreting human sequence anti-digoxin mAbs. Six of the mAbs have been partially characterized and shown to have high specificity and low nanomolar affinities for digoxin. In addition, detailed competition binding studies performed with three of these mAbs have shown them to have distinct differences in their digoxin binding, and that all three structural moieties of the drug, the primary digitoxose sugar, steroid, and five-member unsaturated lactone ring, contribute to Ab recognition. |
