Abstract

We examined complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) by hexamer formation-enhanced CD20 mAb Hx-7D8 of patient-derived chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells that are relatively resistant to CDC. CDC was analyzed in normal human serum (NHS) and serum from an individual genetically deficient for C9. Hx-7D8 was able to kill up to 80% of CLL cells in complete absence of C9. We conclude that the narrow C5b-8 pores formed without C9 are sufficient for CDC due to efficient antibody-mediated hexamer formation. In the absence of C9, we observed transient intracellular increases of Ca2 + during CDC (as assessed with FLUO-4) that were extended in time. This suggests that small C5b-8 pores allow Ca2 + to enter the cell, while dissipation of the fluorescent signal accompanying cell disintegration is delayed. The Ca2 + signal is retained concomitantly with TOPRO-3 (viability dye) staining, thereby confirming that Ca2 + influx represents the most proximate mediator of cell death by CDC.
