Definitions
- Neutrophil activating polypeptide process for its preparation and its use as a medicament and diagnostic agent
- the invention relates to a neutrophil activating polypeptide which has been isolated from human mononuclear cells.
- This polypeptide is active for human neutrophil granulocytes and is therefore suitable as a medicament, in particular for increasing the cellular phagocyte-associated defense against inflammation and for stimulating granulation tissue and wound healing.
- it is suitable as a diagnostic agent for testing the reactivity of the neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes in vivo or in vitro and as a reagent for the production of monoclonal antibodies using as antigen.
- PMNL polymorphonuclear leukocyte activating factor released by human monocytes.
- this factor appears to be related to PMNL degranulation (Klemper et al., 1978, J. Clin. Invest. 61: 1330) and the oxygen-dependent metabolism activate (Klempner et al., 1979, J. Clin. Invest. 64: 996).
- Subsequent studies have shown that partially purified interleukin-1 preparations show these PMNL-stimulating activities (Sander et al., 1984, J. Immunol. 132: 828; Smith et al., 1985, J. Leucocyte Biology 37: 746), from which it was concluded that IL-1 is a PMNL activating cytokine.
- IL-1 denotes a series of biochemically closely related cytokines that are produced by different cell types and includes the lymphocyte activating factor (LAF), endogenous pyrogen (EP), endogenous leukocyte mediator (LEM) or the mononuclear one Cell factor (MCF).
- LAF lymphocyte activating factor
- EP endogenous pyrogen
- LEM endogenous leukocyte mediator
- MCF mononuclear one Cell factor
- IL-1 activity has been described in various biochemical forms, i.e. H. 17 kD species with IP 6, 8, 5, 4 and 5, 2, as well as forms with high molecular weights, with similar IP values. To date, however, it is not clear whether the biological properties of IL-1 can be attributed to a single molecular species of IL-1 or not.
- a neutrophil-activating peptide (hereinafter also referred to as MONAP) has been found which differs from IL-1.
- the invention therefore relates to a new, physiologically active polypeptide with a selective chemotactic effect on neutrophilic, polymorphonuclear leukocytes (MONAP). It also relates to the process for its production, to medicinal products containing it and to its use.
- MONAP neutrophilic, polymorphonuclear leukocytes

It is homogeneous and has a molecular weight of 10 kD as determined by a single band in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyamide gel electrophoresis and by a single peak in high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) (exclusion chromatography). A single peak was also achieved in reversed phase high pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).

- mild oxidizing agents e.g. K 3 Fe (CN) 6
- shorter-chain peptides can be isolated that show the same biological properties as the sequence of the 72 amino acids.
- Long-chain peptides of the same type can also be isolated , such as the LYNAP with the pentapeptide terminus (AVLPR), which has been described in the meantime and which is followed by the above sequence of 72 amino acids:
- novel biologically active polypeptide according to the invention has the following biological properties:

- MONAP is in conflict here to IL-1, whose heat sensitivity is known.

- MONAP is therefore a very effective chemotaxin for human PMNL old a calculated EC 5 0 of nearly 5 x 10 - 11 M (based on the molecular weight of 10 kD).
- MONAP can cause PMNL chemotaxis at doses approximately 10 to 40 times lower than C5a, which is known to have an EC ⁇ n of 1-3 x 10 -9 M.
- polypeptide according to the invention can be produced as described below.
- Human mononuclear cells are stimulated, in particular with lipopolysaccharides, phythaemagglutin and / or phorbol esters, in particular phorbol myristate acetate.
- the supernatant obtained is purified by gel chronography, followed by separation by HPLC cation exchange chromatography, HPLC exclusion chromatography and reversed-phase HPLC.
- Monocytes which can be obtained by purifying venous blood are used in particular as mononuclear cells. Such monocytes and their purification are described, for example, by B ⁇ yum, A. 1968, Scand. J. Clin. Lab. Invest. 21: 17.
- the stimulation is preferably carried out with lipopolysaccharides, phythaemagglutinin and / or phorbol esters on cell cultures of the monocytes at 37 ° C. It is in the pH range of 7-8, e.g. B. worked at 7.4.
- the pH value is achieved using a suitable buffer (e.g. gaseous carbon dioxide).
- the stimulation can e.g. B. during 24 to 40 hours.
- the degree of moisture is variable and depends on the cells. For example, a humidity of 95% in an air / carbon dioxide mixture (5% carbon dioxide / 95% air) can be used for 24 to 40 hours.
- the supernatant obtained from the incubation is used to prepare MONAP. It is preferably first cleaned, which can be done, for example, by acidification to a pH of 2-4, in particular 4. Examples of acids are trifluoroacetic acid or formic acid. It is then centrifuged.
- Gel filtration is carried out on conventional columns with Sephadex gels, at acidic to neutral pH, for example on G-75 columns (Pharmacia), for example equilibrated with ammonium formate at a pH of about 5.
- HPLC cation exchange chromatography is preferably carried out in the acidified to neutral state, for example at pH 5.
- formic acid can serve as the acid.
- HPLC exclusion chromatography is preferably carried out on conventional silca columns, e.g. B. on a TSK-2000 HPLC column, at pH 2-3.
- the RP-HPLC can, for example, on an organically modified silica column, e.g. B. on octadecyl silica column.
- the polypeptide according to the invention is chemotactically and chemokinetically active for human neutrophilic granulocytes. It is suitable for use as a pharmaceutical or for the production of pharmaceutical preparations.
- the formulation can be carried out in the customary manner, in the customary manner in auxiliaries and excipients.
- the medicaments containing MONAP according to the invention are particularly suitable for increasing the cellular, phagocyte-associated defense against specific and non-specific inflammations through local or systemic use.

Inflammatory processes, poorly healing wounds, fistulas, bacterial infections and chronic infections of the skin and the underlying tissues caused by mycotic pathogens are used.
- the application can z. B. in the form of a locally effective administration z. B. a solution.
- MONAP can also be used as a diagnostic.
- the invention thus also encompasses diagnostic methods in which MONAP is used to test the reactivity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
- the test can be performed locally or systemically in vivo.
- in vitro use is also possible. For example, it can be determined whether or not leukocytes result in normal chemotaxis, enzyme release or proliferation of oxygen radicals.
- Another application is the use of MONAP as a reagent.
- MONAP can be used as an antigen for the production of monoclonal antibodies.
- the MONAP-specific antibodies obtained and isolated in the usual way can be labeled or coupled with radioisotopes, enzymes, fluorescent or luminescent reagent it, as is known in the literature.
- the antibodies labeled in this way can also be used as diagnostic agents.
- the invention therefore also relates to diagnostic methods using the labeled antibodies obtained using MONAP in order to determine the MONAP concentrations in tissue or blood.

For example, it is possible to mark activated antibodies by an in vitro representation of activated leukocytes. B. to perform tissue sections or smear preparations, and to obtain information about inflammatory processes by detection in the blood.
- the MONAP-specific antibodies can also be used therapeutically. They are suitable, for example, for therapeutic methods for suppressing cellular, phagocyte-associated immune reactions, since the use of MONAP-specific antibodies or antagonists inhibits or antagonizes the effect of MONAP on the immune response of the organism.
- the peptide according to the invention is therefore extremely suitable as a medicament and diagnostic agent; however, it can also be used as a reagent for the production of MONAP-specific monoclonal antibodies, which in turn can be used again for pharmaceutical and / or diagnostic purposes.
