To our knowledge, only three hamster IgG sequences have been published, all of which use kappa light chains, and no three-dimensional structure of a hamster antibody has been reported. We generated antibody HL4E10 as a probe to identify novel costimulatory molecules on the surface of gammadelta T cells which lack the traditional alphabeta T cell co-receptors CD4, CD8, and the costimulatory molecule CD28. HL4E10 binding to gammadelta T cell, surface-expressed, Junctional Adhesion Molecule-Like (JAML) protein leads to potent costimulation via activation of MAP kinase pathways and cytokine production, resulting in cell proliferation. The cDNA sequence of HL4E10 is the first example of a hamster lambda light chain and only the second known complete hamster heavy chain sequence. The crystal structure of the HL4E10 Fab at 2.95 A resolution reveals a rigid combining site with pockets faceted by solvent-exposed tyrosine residues, which are structurally optimized for JAML binding. The characterization of HL4E10 thus comprises a valuable addition to the spartan database of hamster immunoglobulin genes and structures. As the HL4E10 antibody is uniquely costimulatory for gammadelta T cells, humanized versions thereof may be of clinical relevance in treating gammadelta T cell dysfunction-associated diseases, such as chronic non-healing wounds and cancer. cDNA sequence and Fab crystal structure of HL4E10, a hamster IgG lambda light chain antibody stimulatory for gammadelta T cells.,Verdino P, Witherden DA, Podshivalova K, Rieder SE, Havran WL, Wilson IA PLoS One. 2011;6(5):e19828. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0019828.
