Properties of a glycopeptide isolated from human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein. Interaction with leucoagglutinin and anti-(human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein) antibodies.

چکیده
A sialylated glycopeptide isolated after Pronase digestion of human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein behaves as a powerful monovalent hapten in the precipitin reaction between human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein and leucoagglutinin, but fails to inhibit the interaction of the glycoprotein with rabbit anti-(human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein) antibodies. The glycopeptide is much less active than the intact glycoprotein as an inhibitor of lymphocyte transformation induced by leucoagglutinin.

Specific interaction of human Tamm-Horsfall gylcoprotein with leucoagglutinin, a lectin from Phaseolus vulgaris (red kidney bean).
Human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein inhibits lymphocyte transformation induced by leucoagglutinin and haemagglutinin from Phaseolus vulgaris (red kidney bean). The glycoprotein interacts with the two lectins, giving insoluble precipitates. The interaction with leucoagglutinin is highly specific, and the shape of the precipitin curve is that of an antigen-antibody reaction; precipitation is specifi...
متن کاملThe presence in serum of proteins which are immunologically cross-reactive with Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein.
Affinity chromatography, with rabbit anti-(human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein) IgG, was applied to the isolation from normal human serum of protein, which is immunologically cross-reactive with the urinary glycoprotein. The antigen-antibody complex was dissociated with the use of sodium thiocyanate solution, a medium which fails to dissociate urinary Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein-antigen complex. Th...
متن کاملHigh-mannose oligosaccharides from human Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein.
The present communication reports the occurrence of high-mannose oligosaccharides on Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein prepared from human pooled urine. The Pronase digest of the glycoprotein was fractionated by gel filtration and a high-mannose glycopeptide species was separated from complex-type glycopeptides. When high-mannose glycopeptides were digested with endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase H, fo...
متن کاملThe turnover rate of rabbit urinary Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein.
1. The turnover rate of urinary Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein in rabbits was determined by two different methods. The first involved measurement of the pool size of the glycoprotein in rabbit kidney and the daily urinary excretion rate by a radioimmunoassay from which the turnover rate was calculated. 2. The second method made use of the incorporation in vivo of Na(2) (14)CO(3) and sodium [(14)C]a...
متن کاملThe development of a radioimmunoassay procedure for the estimation of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein in human serum.
1. A quantitative radioimmunoassay was developed for the measurement of nanogram amounts of Tamm-Horsfall (TH) glycoprotein in the presence of serum proteins at concentrations above 30 mg/ml. 2. Specific anti-(TH-glycoprotein) antibodies were labelled with 125I and these were usable for a period of 8 weeks. 3. Agarose beads (Sepharose 4B), to which TH-glycoprotein had been coupled via cyanogen ...
