Brief treatment of human peripheral blood lymphocytes with the potential anti-HIV compound aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) prompts the selective release of already bound L-selectin-specific anti-Leu8 and anti-LAM1-1 antibodies from the cells. Two other anti-LAM1 antibodies, anti-LAM1-3 and anti-LAM1-5 stay antigen-bound at the same time. Interestingly, the ATA-sensitive anti-Leu8 strongly competes with the ATA-resistant anti-LAM1-3 for binding. Photobleaching fluorescence resonance energy transfer (pFRET) measurements on flow-sorted cells suggests that these two antibodies compete for the same epitope, while anti-LAM1-5-FITC and anti-Leu8-PE bind to distinct sites, although they also compete for binding. Combining the data on competition, pFRET and ATA effect, we suggest that the ATA sensitive anti-Leu8 and resistant anti-LAM1-3 bind to overlapping but non-identical epitopes. This remarkably specific effect may be exploited for designing anti-inflammatory drugs that modulate leukocyte adhesion.
