== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Septic shock is a leading cause of death, and, results from an inflammatory cascade triggered by the presence of microbial products in the blood. Certain LPS from Gram-negative bacteria are very potent inducers and responsible for a high percentage of septic shock cases. Despite decades of research, mAbs specific for lipid A (the endotoxic principle of LPS) have not been successfully developed into a clinical treatment for sepsis. To understand the molecular basis for the observed inability to translate in vitro specificity for lipid A into clinical potential, the structures of antigen binding fragments of mAbs S1-15 and A6 have been determined unliganded and in complex with lipid A carbohydrate backbone. The two antibodies have separate germ-line origins that generate two markedly different combining-site pockets that are complementary both in shape and charge to the antigen. MAb A6 binds lipid A through both variable light and heavy chain residues, while S1-15 utilizes exclusively the variable heavy chain. Both antibodies bind lipid A such that the GlcN-O6 attachment point for the core oligosaccharide is buried in the combining site, which explains the lack of LPS recognition. Longstanding reports of polyspecificity of anti-lipid A antibodies towards single stranded DNA combined with observed homology of S1-15 and A6 and the reports of several single stranded DNA-specific mAbs prompted the determination of the structure of S1-15 in complex with ssDNA fragments, which may provide clues into the genesis of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroiditis, and rheumatic autoimmune diseases.
