MB007 is a high affinity anti-human GM-CSF autoantibody isolated from a patient suffering from PAP which shows only modest neutralization of GM-CSF bioactivity. We describe the first crystal structure of a cytokine directed human IgG1lambda autoantibody binding fragment (Fab) at 1.9 A resolution. Its CDR3-H substantially differs from all previously reported VH7 germline IgG1 structures. We derive a reliable model of the antigen:autoantibody complex by using NMR chemical shift perturbation data in combination with computational methods. Superposition of the modeled complex structure with the human GM-CSF/GM-CSF ternary receptor complex reveals only little overlap between receptor and Fab when bound to GM-CSF. Our model provides a structural basis for understanding the mode-of-action of the MB007 autoantibody.
