Monoclonal antibodies to nucleic acid-containing cellular constituents: probes for molecular biology and autoimmune disease

E A Lerner et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1981 May.

Abstract

Mice of the strain MRL/Mp-lpr/lpr develop a lupus erythematosus-like syndrome that includes the production of autoantibodies specific for nucleic acid-containing cellular components. We have fused spleen cells from such a mouse with the myeloma SP 2/0 and examined the antibodies produced by the resultant cloned hybrid cell lines by using immunoprecipitation and immunofluorescence techniques. Three types of monoclonal antibodies, specific for Sm, DNA, or rRNA, all antigens to which patients who have lupus make antibodies, have been identified. Patient anti-Sm antibody had previously been reported to precipitate five small nuclear ribonucleoproteins that contain U-1, U-2, U-4, U-5, and U-6 RNAs. The monoclonal anti-Sm antibody gives the same immunoprecipitation pattern, providing direct evidence that the Sm antigen resides on all these RNA-protein complexes. Monoclonal anti-Sm antibody will be valuable in deciphering the biological function of these ubiquitous small nuclear RNPs. A simple competition radioimmunoassay using the monoclonal anti-Sm antibody to titer patient sera is also presented. Uses of monoclonal antibodies for the study of autoimmune disease are discussed.
