Epitope mapping by photobleaching fluorescence resonance energy transfer measurements using a laser scanning microscope system

Abstract
The donor photobleaching method (T. M. Jovin and D. J. Arndt-Jovin. 1989. Annu. Rev. Biophys. Biophys. Chem. 18:271-308.) has been adapted to an ACAS 570 (laser scanning microscope) system to measure fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) on individual human peripheral blood T cells. Photobleaching was completed in approximately 100 ms in our case and it followed double-exponential kinetics. The energy transfer efficiency (E) was approximately 20% between the CD4 epitopes OKT4-FITC and Leu-3a-PE as well as between OKT4E-FITC and OKT4-PE. E was approximately 8% between OKT4-FITC and Leu-4-PE (alpha CD3) and barely detectable (approximately 4%) from OKT4-FITC to Leu-5b-PE (alpha CD2). The E values obtained by the photobleaching method were highly reproducible both in repeated measurement of identical samples and in experiments with different batches of cells and were in agreement with the flow cytometric donor quenching measurements. As expected, E measured between primary and secondary layers of antibodies increased (from approximately 14% to approximately 28%) when F(ab')2 fragments were substituted for whole antibody molecules as the donor. On a T cell line we mapped the distance between the idiotypic determinant of the T cell receptor (TcR) and the Leu-4 epitope of CD3 as proximal as E = 28%, as compared to E = 4% between a framework TcR epitope and Leu-4. In the latter case, however, approximately 40% less Leu-4 was bound suggesting that the antigen binding site of TcR is in close proximity with one of the two CD3 epsilon chains, which hence are not equivalent.
