The IgG1hybridoma antibody, 91.9H, was originally raised against sulfated
mucins isolated from normal human colonic mucosa. Previous studies have
shown that the 91.9H antigen is expressed on normal colonic epithelial
cells and the sulfomucins that they produce, but not in the normal small
intestine and stomach. Tissue-specific changes occur in 91.9H antigen
expression in disease: the antigen diminishes in colonic carcinomas,
whereas in regions of gastric mucosa showing intestinal metaplasia and in
gastric carcinomas, the antigen is expressed as a "neo-antigen." This
report is concerned with elucidation, by the neoglycolipid technology, of
the determinant recognized by antibody 91.9H using sulfated and sialyl
oligosaccharides of Lewisa(Lea) and Lextypes, and analogs that lack
sulfate, sialic acid, or fucose. Binding experiments with the lipid-linked
oligosaccharides immobilized on chromatograms or on microwells, and
inhibition of binding experiments with free oligosaccharides based on di-,
tri- and tetrasaccharide backbones, show that the 91.9H antigenic
determinant is based on a trisaccharide backbone, and consists of the
3'-sulfated Leatetrasaccharide sequence, which is a potent ligand for the
E- and L-selectins. The antibody gives a relatively low signal with the
3'-sulfated non-fucosylated backbone, and has no detectable cross- reaction
with the 3'-sulfated Lexisomer, nor with sialyl-Leaand - Lexanalogues.
Antibody 91.9H is a valuable addition, therefore, to the repertoire of
reagents for mapping details of the distribution, and determining the
relative importance of sulfated and sialyl oligosaccharides as ligands for
the selectins, in normal and pathological epithelia and endothelia.
