Abstract

The specificity of endothelial cell leukocyte adhesion molecule-1, ELAM-1, for binding to a panel of carbohydrate structures was determined by a sensitive cell binding assay with immobilized synthetic glycoconjugates. ELAM-1 cDNA transfectants were found to bind Sialyl Lea (sialylated lacto-N-fucopentaose II) or sialylated Lewis a antigen (NeuAc alpha 2-3Gal beta 1-3(Fuc alpha 1-4)GlcNAc), as well as or slightly better than Sialyl Lex (sialylated lacto-N-fucopentaose III) or sialylated Lewis X antigen (NeuAc alpha 2-3 Gal beta 1-4(Fuc alpha 1-3)GlcNAc). A monoclonal antibody, HECA-452, which has been identified recently as recognizing ELAM-1 ligands in addition to those containing Sialyl Lex, was also found to bind both Sialyl Lex and Sialyl Lea. Hard sphere exo-anomeric (HSEA) calculations were performed on these two hexasaccharides. The conformations indicate that Sialyl Lea and Sialyl Lex show a high degree of similarity in both the nonreducing and reducing termini. As Lea and Lex show much weaker reactivity, the determinants recognized by ELAM-1 and HECA-452 probably involve neuraminic acid and fucose residues which on one face of both Sialyl Lex and Sialyl Lea can be similarly positioned. The finding that Sialyl Lea is a potent ligand for ELAM-1 is important, as circulating Sialyl Lea and Sialyl Lex containing mucins which are elevated in the serum of many cancer patients may block leukocyte interactions with ELAM-1 and may contribute to the pathological immunodepression observed in these patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
