Abstract

Integrins are the major family of receptors involved in the adhesive interactions of cells with extracellular matrix macromolecules. Although it is known that integrins can exist in active or inactive states, the molecular mechanisms by which integrin activity is modulated are poorly understood. A novel anti-integrin monoclonal antibody, 12G10, that enhances alpha 5 beta 1-fibronectin interactions has been identified. 12G10 binds to the beta 1 subunit and appears to recognise a region of the subunit that contains the epitopes of several previously described activating or inhibitory monoclonal antibodies. However, unlike other activating anti-beta 1 antibodies, the binding of 12G10 to alpha 5 beta 1 is increased in the presence of ligands (fibronectin fragment or RGD peptide). This is the first report for the beta 1 integrin family of an antibody that recognises a ligand-induced binding site, and further emphasises the functional importance of a specific region of the beta 1 subunit in regulating integrin-ligand interactions.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
