Abstract

We examined the distribution of putative receptors for papillomavirus (PV) capsid proteins on various cell types, using either Hexahis HPV6b L1 fusion protein or synthetic HPV6b virus-like particles (VLPs). Specific, saturable binding of VLPs to CV-1 cells was demonstrated using 35S-labeled VLPs, with an average receptor number of 1 x 10(4)/cell and a binding affinity constant (Ka) of 4 x 10(7) M. VLP binding was quantitated by flow cytometry using a monoclonal antibody to the L1 capsid protein. Intense staining of epithelial and mesenchymal cells was observed. Some immature bone marrow-derived cells bound VLPs weakly, while the majority of B lymphoma cells demonstrated no binding. Binding to 12 of 16 VLP receptor positive cell lines was abolished by trypsin pretreatment of cells. Removal of cellular sialic acid or O-linked oligosaccharides separately did not affect VLP binding, which was enhanced about 25% when cells were pretreated with both neuraminidase and O-glycosidase. Culture of cells with sufficient tunicamycin to inhibit Concanavalin A binding did not diminish the binding of VLPs. Denatured L1 protein, either from VLPs or expressed from Escherichia coli as a Hexahis fusion protein, bound to a trypsin-resistant structu...Continue Reading

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.
