This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. Primary support for the subproject and the subproject's principal investigator may have been provided by other sources, including other NIH sources. The Total Cost listed for the subproject likely represents the estimated amount of Center infrastructure utilized by the subproject, not direct funding provided by the NCRR grant to the subproject or subproject staff. This project is concerned with an antibody called 14F7, which recognizes the ganglioside N-glycolyl GM3. This molecule is very common in animal cells, but not found in human cells except on certain tumors. It is hence an ideal tumor marker. Previous studies of the Krengel group have characterized the crystal structure of the 14F7 Fab and predicted the antigen complex by computer modeling. The aim of this project is to provide experimental data to further characterize the antibody-antigen complex. We will employ oxidative footprinting to generate experimental data that may be used to compare the theoretical structure of the antibody-antigen complex. The project will start with production and purification of 14F7 Fab fragment from purified mAbs. This part of the project will take place at the Department of Chemistry in Oslo. The 14F7 Fab will then be trypsinized and the tryptic peptides characterized by mass spectrometry in collaboration with Dr. Wolfgang Egge-Jacobsen at the Department of Molecular Biosciences. Once these preparations are completed, the work will be continued at the University of Georgia.

这个子项目是许多利用资源的研究子项目之一 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目的主要支持 而子项目的主要调查员可能是由其他来源提供的， 包括其它NIH来源。 列出的子项目总成本可能 代表子项目使用的中心基础设施的估计数量， 而不是由NCRR赠款提供给子项目或子项目工作人员的直接资金。 该项目涉及一种名为14F7的抗体，它识别神经节苷脂N-羟乙酰GM3。这种分子在动物细胞中非常常见，但在人类细胞中除了某些肿瘤外没有发现。因此，它是一种理想的肿瘤标志物。 Krengel小组先前的研究已经表征了14F7 Fab的晶体结构，并通过计算机建模预测了抗原复合物。该项目的目的是提供实验数据，以进一步表征抗体-抗原复合物。 我们将采用氧化足迹法来生成可用于比较抗体-抗原复合物的理论结构的实验数据。 该项目将从纯化的mAb生产和纯化14F7 Fab片段开始。该项目的这一部分将在奥斯陆的化学系进行。然后将14F7 Fab进行胰蛋白酶消化，并与分子生物科学系的Wolfgang Egge-Jacobsen博士合作，通过质谱法对胰蛋白酶肽进行表征。这些准备工作一旦完成，将在格鲁吉亚大学继续进行。
