Abstract

Recombinant human annexin I and a monoclonal antibody specific for this protein (mAb 1B) were used to investigate surface binding of this member of the annexin family of proteins to peripheral blood monocytes. Flow cytometric analysis demonstrated trypsin-sensitive, saturable binding of annexin I to human peripheral blood monocytes but not to admixed lymphocytes. A monoclonal antibody that blocks the anti-phospholipase activity of annexin I also blocked its binding to monocytes. These findings suggest the presence of specific binding sites on monocytes. Furthermore, surface iodination, immunoprecipitation and SDS/PAGE analysis were used to identify two annexin I-binding proteins on the surface of monocytes with molecular masses of 15 kDa and 18 kDa respectively. The identification and characterization of these annexin I-binding molecules should help us to better understand the specific interactions of annexin I with monocytes that lead to down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cell functions.
