Abstract
P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) mediates rolling of leukocytes on P-selectin-expressing endothelial cells under shear flow. Function-blocking monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against mouse and human PSGL-1 recognize an anionic segment at the N-terminus of PSGL-1. High affinity interaction of PSGL-1 with P-selectin requires sulfation of tyrosines 46, 48, and 51 (human) or 54 and 56 (mouse). We tested binding of two anti-human (KPL1 and PL1) and two antimouse (4RA10 and 2PH1) PSGL-1 mAbs to synthetic peptides of N-terminus of human and mouse PSGL-1 and found binding to be independent of tyrosine sulfation. In peptide-blocking experiments, sulfated and nonsulfated human and mouse peptides competed with antibody binding to PSGL-1 expressed on myeloid cells. Arylsulfatase treatment significantly reduced P-selectin binding but had no effect on antibody binding. Our data show, in three independent assay systems, that function-blocking antibodies to mouse or human PSGL-1 do not require sulfation of N-terminal tyrosines for binding.
