Chemotactic activity of granulocytes attracted by tumor cells loaded either with anti-ganglioside monoclonal antibodies (mAb) or with antibody-glucose oxidase conjugates (mAb-GO) was investigated. The melanoma cell line SK-Mel-28 which expresses the ganglioside GD3 at high density as well as the neuroectodermal cell line SK-N-LO which expresses GD2 were used for the experiments. In the presence of 50% human AB-serum, antibody-loaded tumor cells induced chemotactic activity on granulocytes, probably due to the generation of C3a/C5a which could be detected in serum incubated with anti-GD3 loaded SK-Mel-28 cells. Both compounds could also be detected in vivo in the plasma of patients suffering from neuroblastoma during therapy with anti-GD2 antibodies. In another set of experiments mAb-GO conjugates generating high amounts of H2O2 in the presence of glucose were bound to these tumor cells. A significant lipid peroxidation could be observed in the simultaneous presence of iron and ascorbate. The lipid peroxidation products were measured as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and were also shown to induce chemotactic effects on granulocytes.
