Biotinylated antibodies and an avidin-Sepharose 6MB column were utilized in
a novel approach to deplete selected cell populations from human bone
marrow. Fluorescein-labeled Daudi lymphoblasts were mixed with bone marrow
mononuclear cells in a model system, and removal of Daudi cells was
quantitatively assessed with an inverted fluorescent microscope. Treatment
using the biotinylated monoclonal antibody 2H7 reactive with Bp32 antigen
(expressed on Daudi cells) followed by passage over avidin-Sepharose
produced greater than two logs of Daudi cell removal from bone marrow. An
alternative method was tested by treating cells successively with
nonbiotinylated monoclonal antibody and biotinylated goat antimouse
immunoglobulin followed by passage over avidin-Sepharose. Up to three logs
of Daudi cells could be eliminated from bone marrow with quantitative
recovery of hematopoietic progenitors. The use of biotinylated goat
antimouse immunoglobulin eliminates the need to prepare a biotin conjugate
of each individual monoclonal antibody. The clinical application of
cellular immunoadsorption using the avidin-biotin system may prove useful
in bone marrow transplantation.
