Abstract
The protein nature of soluble immune complexes from fresh plasma was studied by combining several analytical biochemical techniques. Free immunoglobulins (Ig) G were separated from larger immune complexes by gel permeation chromatography. In a second step, immune complexes, free IgA and IgM were isolated by protein-A and protein-G affinity chromatography and analysed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Sixteen plasma samples from healthy donors were analysed and evaluated visually. Their protein profiles on the gels turned out to be similar, showing only slight quantitative differences. In one case, additional proteins were detected. To prove the ability of the method, immune complexes were analysed from four plasma samples that showed macro creatine kinase type 1, a complex formation between creatine kinase BB and IgG. This methodology can be used for the examination of immune complexes of unknown protein composition in serum or plasma.

Abstract
In vitro incubation of the MM3 subform of human creatine kinase (ATP:creatine N-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.3.2, CK) with fresh human serum resulted in the formation of a complex of high relative molecular mass (Mr 320 kDa). The formed complex (macro CK-MM3) consists of both CK-MM3 and immunoglobulin A (IgA), and its amount of the formed complex was proportional to CK-MM3 activity and IgA concentration. Two molecules of CK-MM3 combined with one molecule of IgA, and the immunoglobulin inhibited the enzyme activity. As IgA does not form complexes with other subforms (CK-MM2 and CK-MM1) or CK-MB, the antigen specificity of IgA to CK-MM3 is definitely exacting. The circumstantial evidence suggests that macro CK-MM3 is a specific antigen-antibody complex. Macro CK-MM3 was detected in all of the examined sera of adult patients with more than 2001 U/1 CK activity (the positive percentage of macro CK-MM3 in all adult patients was 73%), but not detected in sera of patients who were younger than 12 months old. No relationship was observed between macro CK-MM3 and the patients' underlying diseases. Macro CK-MM3 formation suggested to be an immunologic pathway for intravascular catabolism of CK-MM3 when its activity increases.

Abstract
Epitopes on human brain creatine kinase (B-CK) recognized by three monoclonal antibodies have been located by chemical cleavage methods, followed by peptide synthesis or analysis of specificity for natural variants (isoforms). One antibody, CK-HTB, recognizes a conformational, or assembled, surface epitope on native CK which is also present on partially unfolded forms. It requires an Asn residue at position 300 in the amino acid sequence and will not recognize variants with Lys or His in this position. This results in a striking specificity of the antibody, which binds to B-CK only in chicken and man, but to muscle-form (M-CK) only in the rat. The results suggest that Asn-300 is exposed on the enzyme surface as part of a relatively denaturation-resistant region. Two monoclonal antibodies, CK-END1 and CK-END2, recognise epitopes within 53 amino acids of the C-terminus and bind to a synthetic hexapeptide representing the last six amino acids of human B-CK (Leu-375-Lys-380). The two antibodies show overlapping, but distinct, specificities in their binding to CK variants. CK-END1 requires Met-376 and will not tolerate Ile in this position, whereas CK-END2 requires Leu-375 and will not tolerate Met. Neither antibody binds to native CK, though both will bind to a folding intermediate and to partially unfolded states. This shows that the C-terminus of CK becomes inaccessible to the antibodies during those later stages of protein folding associated with recovery of enzyme activity and suggests that the protein may 'tuck in its tail' during one of the final steps.

Abstract
Two isozymes of creatine kinase have been purified differentially from mitochondrial and cytoplasmic subfractions of intestinal epithelial cells. These intestinal epithelial cell creatine kinases were indistinguishable from the cytoplasmic (B-CK) and mitochondrial (Mi-CK) creatine kinase isozymes of brain when compared by SDS-PAGE, cellulose polyacetate electrophoresis, and peptide mapping. In intestinal epithelial cells, immunolocalization of the Mi-CK isozyme indicates that it is associated with long, thin mitochondria, which are excluded from the brush border at the apical end of each cell. In contrast, immunolocalization of the B-CK isozyme indicates that it is concentrated distinctly in the brush border terminal web domain. Although absent from the microvilli, B-CK also is distributed diffusely throughout the cytoplasm. Terminal web localization of B-CK was maintained in glycerol-permeabilized cells and in isolated brush borders, indicating that B-CK binds to the brush border structure. The abundance and localization of the mitochondrial and cytoplasmic creatine kinase isozymes suggest that they are part of a system that temporally and/or spatially buffers dynamic energy requirements of intestinal epithelial cells.

Abstract
The distribution pattern of creatine kinase (E.C 2.7.3.2) isozymes in prenatal rat heart and skeletal muscle was studied by immunohistochemistry. Between embryonic day (ED) 12-18, creatine kinase M (CK-M) is heterogeneously expressed in the heart: a pronounced staining of CK-M is first observed in the outflow tract and the trabeculae of the right ventricle (ED12-14), and subsequently in the venous valves, the interatrial septum and the sinoatrial node. From ED18 onwards, a homogeneous expression of CK-M is observed due to an increase in isozyme concentration in the remaining part of the myocardium. By contrast, the developmental appearance of creatine kinase B (CK-B) occurs almost homogeneously throughout the heart between ED11-14. Thereafter, a decrease of the CK-B is first observed in the inflow tract (in particular in the sinoatrial node), in the inner part of those atrial walls that are adjacent to the atrioventricular junction, and temporarily in a band in the upper part of the interventricular septum. From ED18, a selective disappearance of CK-B is found in the papillary muscle of the left ventricle. At birth, a considerable amount of CK-B remains present in the ventricular walls. Although some of the stage-dependent regional differences in expression of the creatine kinase isozymes, in particular those of the M-subunit, are shared by other mammalian and avian species, their significance for the developmental changes in the physiology of the heart is speculative at present.

Abstract
We have evaluated a new sensitive immunometric assay for the determination of creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) MB isoenzyme (NovoClone CK-MB), involving an enzyme label and two monoclonal antibodies directed against the B subunit and the M subunit, respectively. The anti-CK-B antibodies are bound to the solid phase. The assay was modified to be extremely sensitive and thus to measure the concentration range below and close to the cutoff value used for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. A reference interval of 0-6 micrograms/L was found for 315 outpatients without myocardial diseases (132 men and 183 women); the overall median of the log-gaussian distribution was 1.91 micrograms/L (2.03 and 1.79 micrograms/L for men and women, respectively). Total and within-assay imprecision (CV) was less than 6% at the upper reference limit. The detection limit was 0.1 microgram/L. The assay provides a favorable signal-to-noise ratio: the calibrators 0.0, 2.0, and 30.0 micrograms/L give absorbances at 492 nm of 0.040, 0.140, and 1.600 A. respectively. We conclude that the assay provides biochemical identification of individuals with myocardial damage but without myocardial infarction.

Abstract
We have located the epitopes recognized by four different monoclonal antibodies which bind to partially unfolded creatine kinase (CK) (ATP: creatine N-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.3.2) but not to the native enzyme. The epitopes appear to be buried within the CK structure in its native, proteinase-resistant, state. When the epitopes are made accessible to antibody by mild denaturation, CK becomes enzymically-inactive and can be cleaved by proteinase V8 into two large fragments which retain the epitopes and may represent domains. Epitopes on each V8 fragment are associated with highly conserved sequences and are brought physically close to the active site of the enzyme during the later stages of CK refolding and reactivation. The results suggest a catalytic site formed at the interface between two domains which carry the epitopes on their interacting surfaces. Separation of loosely associated domains before or during immunization may account for the origin of antibodies against buried epitopes.

Abstract
The immunoglobulin (Ig) class and IgG subclasses of autoantibodies to commercial VDRL antigen, creatine kinase (CK), and fibronectin (Fn) in the sera of patients with various stages of syphilis were quantified using solid-phase radioimmunoassays (RIA) and ELISA. Sera from patients with active secondary syphilis, initially positive for anti-Fn and anti-CK autoantibodies by RIA, were re-evaluated by ELISA using monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) for detection of human Ig class and subclass responses. Results of these assays revealed that anti-Fn and anti-CK responses were not only IgG in nature, but dramatically skewed to IgG1 and IgG3 subclasses. While the restricted, co-expression of these isotypes seemingly paralleled anti-treponemal activity, inverse relationships actually existed between the subclass responses to Fn and those to Treponema pallidum. In contrast, anti-VDRL were predominantly IgM in 17 of 22 patients. Of those sera exhibiting detectable anti-VDRL IgG activity, responses appeared to be restricted to IgG1. These results suggest that different control mechanisms may be responsible for regulation of the various autoantibody responses expressed during syphilitic infection.

Abstract
Whereas factors governing the interconversion of the two oligomeric forms of mitochondrial creatine kinase are relatively well known, few informations are yet available on the actual form in situ. Antibodies against purified pig and rabbit heart mitochondrial creatine kinase were obtained. The former exhibits a marked specificity for the dimer while the second reacts with both dimer and octamer. They allowed to demonstrate that no dimer can be detected in mitochondria and that CKm occurs naturally exclusively as an octamer. We present arguments that the larger part, if not the totality, of the octamer is membrane-bound rather than soluble in the intermembrane space. However, these findings do not refute the previously proposed models for the regulation of CKm activity in the mitochondrion but urge to envisage a more complex one.

Abstract
We report the expression of heterobispecific antibodies (Ab) by transferred genes. The kappa and gamma 1 genes of a mouse anti-idiotypic Ab (IgG1) were transfected into a mouse hybridoma cell line secreting Ab (IgG1), directed against an isoenzyme of human creatine kinase. Stable cell lines secreting the parental Ab derived from the introduced genes and a mixture of hybrid Ab were established. The transfected Ab specificity was expressed at similar levels as in a nonproducer background (50 ng-1 microgram/ml), heterobispecific Ab was expressed in microgram quantities (1-4 micrograms/ml) in all cell lines examined. As shown by isoelectric focusing analysis, hybrid Ab (heterobifunctional and other species) are expressed to a similar extent in the transfected cell lines as the Ab in the parental Ab-producing cells.

Abstract
The distribution of three myofibrillar M-band proteins, myomesin, M-protein and the muscle isoform of creatine kinase, was investigated with immunocytochemical techniques in skeletal muscles of embryonic, fetal, newborn and four-week-old rats. Furthermore, muscles of newborn rats were denervated and examined at four weeks of age. In embryos, myomesin was present in all myotome muscle fibres of the somites, whereas M-protein was detected only in a small proportion of the myotome muscle fibres and muscle creatine kinase was not detected at all. In fetal and newborn muscles, all fibres contained all three M-band proteins. At four weeks of age, when fibre types (type 1 or slow twitch fibres and type 2 or fast twitch fibres) were clearly discernable, the pattern was changed. Myomesin and muscle creatine kinase were still observed in all fibres, whereas M-protein was present only in type 2 fibres. On the other hand, in muscle fibres denervated at birth all three M-band proteins were still detected. Our results suggest 1) that during the initial stages of myofibrillogenesis expression and incorporation of myomesin into the M-band precede that of M-protein and muscle creatine kinase; 2) that expression and incorporation of all three M-band proteins during fetal development is nerve independent and non coordinated to the expression of different forms of myosin heavy chains, and 3) that the suppression of M-protein synthesis during postnatal development is nerve dependent and reflects the maturation of slow twitch motor units.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody CKM-G01 inhibited greater than 99% of the activity of porcine and human creatine kinase(CK)-MM isoenzyme purified from muscle. However, it inhibited only 54% of CK-MM in human serum. Chromatofocusing of serum CK-MM showed that CKM-G01 inhibited 100% of MM3 but not isoform MM1. CKM-G01 inhibited CK-MM2 by 57%. CKM-G01 specifically inhibited only the original CK-M subunit and not the subunit modified by removal of C-terminal lysine by carboxypeptidase N. CKM-G01 can be used for assay of CK isoforms. We devised a new diagnostic reagent involving it, which requires no analytical separation of isoforms, based on the immunoinhibition method, and applied it to early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. The "inhibition index," (inhibited CK activity/total CK activity) x 100, increased more rapidly than did total CK and CK-MB. Evidently this diagnostic reagent can be used for easy, early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Treatment of human muscle creatine kinase (MM-CK) with glutaraldehyde produced highly aggregated forms which retained the native antigenic structure. Immunization of BALB/c mice with CK aggregates instead of untreated CK produced over ten-fold higher titres of antibody against native CK without increasing the titres of antibody against denatured enzyme. Production of high-affinity monoclonal antibodies specific for both the muscle isoenzyme and the native conformation became possible where the use of untreated CK had failed. Four monoclonal antibodies have been characterized by an epitope mapping technique and compared with a commercially available monoclonal antibody. One antibody has a much higher affinity for MM-CK than the other three and the commercial antibody. Competition studies show that it also recognizes a different epitope on the CK surface from the other three monoclonal antibodies which bind to the same surface region as the commercial antibody. Immunoassays based on the high affinity antibody can easily measure less than 1 ng of CK, a sensitivity comparable to, or better than, standard enzymatic assays.

Abstract
The localization of creatine kinase (CK) M in canine myocardium was immunocytochemically studied by a direct immunoperoxidase method. Specific antiserum against CK-M was produced in rabbits immunized with canine CK-MM. An anti-CK-M Fab'-horseradish peroxidase conjugate was prepared by the maleimide method. Frozen sections prepared from fixed canine myocardium were stained with the conjugate and observed by light and electron microscopy. In light microscopy of longitudinal sections, CK-M showed a cross-striated pattern consisting of distinct broad and narrow brown bands. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed that the regions of the broad and narrow brown bands corresponded to the A-band and the Z-line, respectively. Most CK-M in the A-band was associated with the thick fibers, and a small amount of CK-M was found in the M-line. These findings suggest that ATP regeneration from the ADP produced by myosin ATPase is related to the participation of this CK associated with the thick fibers rather than that of the M-line-bound CK. Creatine kinase M was also found in the sarcolemmal membrane, the membranes of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and the mitochondrial outer and inner membranes. This report provides new information for understanding the physiological role of the phosphorylcreatine shuttle in the myocardial energy transport system.

Abstract
This patient, on admission, presented with a tentative diagnosis of myocardial infarction: the electrocardiogram showed a nonspecific ST-segment and T-wave abnormalities, and total creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) activity was slightly increased (238 U/L). However, a high electrophoretic value for CK-MB (50% of total CK activity) and the electrophoretic pattern of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) isoenzymes ruled out myocardial infarction. The isoenzyme migrating as CK-MB was found later to contain no immunologically normal CK-M subunits, and it was bound to IgA. A mixture of the patient's serum and a human serum control containing all CK isoenzymes showed altered electrophoretic mobility only for CK-BB, indicating that the patient's serum contained antibodies to the B unit of CK. Elution from a Sephadex G-200 column showed that the peak at which most of the anodic CK was eluted corresponded to a molecular mass of approximately 200 kDa. Evidently this atypical isoenzyme was an IgA-CK-BB complex. Because this macro CK type 1 can mimic CK-MB, it may therefore be a source of confusion.

Abstract
The production, identification, and utilisation of monoclonal antibodies to enzymes are reviewed. Such antibodies may be produced in vitro by the mouse-hybridoma technique, may occur naturally in vivo as enzyme-binding immunoglobulins and may be produced in the laboratory from the lymphocytes of patients whose sera contains such immunoglobulins. The diagnostic application of monoclonal antibodies to enzymes is considered, with special reference to their use in the measurement of the MB-isoenzyme of creatine kinase, pancreatic isoamylase, prostatic acid phosphatase, and the isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatase.

Abstract
We describe a simple, rapid immunoaffinity procedure for purifying the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase. Immunoaffinity gel is prepared by linking a monoclonal antibody ("Conan-MB"), specific for this isoenzyme, to Sepharose 4B. Heart tissue is homogenized and fractionated with 40-70% saturated ammonium sulfate before it is applied to the immunoaffinity gel. CK-MB activity, retained on the gel, is then eluted with a high-pH diethylamine buffer (0.1 mol/L, pH 10.5). The purified CK-MB isoenzyme is stabilized by collection directly into tubes containing glycerol (to prevent dissociation of the enzyme subunits) and pH-neutralizing buffer. This procedure compares favorably in yield, specific activity, and technical ease with a multi-column purification method previously used in our laboratory. We have used the immunoaffinity procedure to purify to homogeneity CK-MB from human, dog, and rabbit heart, with yields of 50.0%, 53.1%, and 49.3% and specific activities of 540, 477, and 377 kU/g, respectively. The preparations are pure as judged by protein staining with silver nitrate after electrophoresis on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel.

Abstract
Studies have been made on interaction between rabbit antiserum to BB creatine kinase from hen gizzard and BB creatine kinases from the brain, heart and gizzard of hen. The degree of interaction was evaluated by the intensity of fluorescence of the immune complexes labeled by a fluorescent dye. It was shown that the intensity of fluorescence of the immune complexes formed by BB creatine kinases from the brain and gizzard of hen is approximately the same, whereas that formed by BB creatine kinase from the heart is twice lower. The data obtained indicate that structural differences in the region of antigenic determinants exist between BB creatine kinase from the heart and those from the brain and gizzard of hen.

Abstract
Five monoclonal antibodies (CKM-B07, F12, D08, H09 and G01) against porcine creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) MM isoenzyme, which inhibit the enzymatic activity, were prepared. The hybridomas which produced monoclonal antibodies were screened by direct measurement of the inhibitory activity of their culture supernatant. Only two of them, however, were found to be measurable by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with porcine CK-MM as an antigen. CKM-G01 inhibited 100% porcine CK-MM activity, while the others, 73-87%. On the other hand, only CKM-H09 inhibited porcine CK-BB activity (15%). CKM-F12 and D08 inhibited more than 50% CK-MB activity, whereas they did not inhibit CK-BB activity. The monoclonal antibodies were also tested for bovine, rabbit and human CK-MM. All the antibodies inhibited bovine and human CK-MM activity as well. In particular, CKM-G01 was found to exhibit more than 98% inhibition of all CK-MM activity tested, indicating that a common or very similar epitope which affects the activity is present on these enzymes. Admixing of CKM-B07 with other antibodies effected synergisms in inhibition, not only to porcine CK-MM activity but also to human CK-MM activity. A mixture of CK-B07 and G01 inhibited 100% human CK-MM activity, suggesting applicability of these monoclonal antibodies to clinical laboratory diagnosis.

Abstract
By using sensitive enzyme immunoassay methods, several isoenzymes or isoproteins related to muscle fiber types were determined in the soleus (SOL), rectus femoris (RFM), and heart muscles of normal and dystrophic (dy/dy) mice of various ages. In normal adult mice, the S-100 protein alpha subunit (S-100 alpha) and creatine kinase B subunit (CK-B), which are known to be distributed predominantly in type I muscle fibers as S-100a0 (alpha alpha form of the S-100 protein) and the MB form of CK, respectively, were enhanced several-fold in the "aerobic" SOL muscle as compared with the "anaerobic" RFM muscle. The enolase beta subunit (beta-enolase) and the M subunit of CK (CK-M) were present in the RFM at levels increased several-fold compared to levels in the SOL of the same mice. In age-matched dystrophic adult mice, however, the compositions of these muscle-related proteins in the RFM muscle shifted to those of the SOL muscle: S-100 alpha and CK-B increased several-fold, beta-enolase and CK-M decreased markedly as compared with the normal RFM. On the other hand, the SOL and heart muscles of dystrophic mice showed only a slight increase of CK-B or decrease of CK-M. In the RFM of 3-week-old dystrophic mice, S-100 alpha and beta-enolase levels were similar to those in the RFM of control littermates, but a significant increase of CK-B and a decrease of CK-M were already observed in this early stage of dystrophy. These results indicate that changes in muscle-related proteins in the dystrophic muscles are apparently displayed mainly in the anaerobic muscles and feature a decrease in type II fiber-related proteins and a relative increase in type I fiber-related proteins. The mechanism of these changes in dystrophic mice is discussed.

Abstract
Serum creatinine kinase MB isoenzyme time-activity curves are useful for the assessment of coronary reperfusion after acute myocardial infarction. The purpose of this study was to compare serum creatine kinase MB catalytic activity with mass concentration for the determination of coronary reflow after therapeutic thrombolysis. Creatine kinase MB mass was determined immunoenzymometrically. Creatinine kinase MB catalytic activity concentration was determined by electrophoresis. Serum was collected every 4 hours for 96 hours in two groups of myocardial infarction patients: A (n = 10), urokinase induced reperfusion; B (n = 10), conventional therapy without urokinase. Peaks of mass and activity occurred at similar times in groups A and B. Both were significantly earlier in the urokinase treated patients. The maximal rate of increase of creatine kinase MB (based on either mass or catalytic activity) was threefold greater in the urokinase group. There are no important differences between the behaviour of creatine kinase measured as catalytic concentration or as mass concentration. Mass concentration is therefore equally useful as an indicator of coronary reperfusion.
