Incubation of human erythrocytes oxidized by iron catalysts, ADP/Fe3+ or xanthine/xanthine oxidase/Fe3+, with autologous IgG resulted in IgG binding as detected by enzyme immunoassay using protein A-beta- galactosidase conjugate. The binding of autologous IgG to ADP/Fe3(+)- treated erythrocytes maximized when the cells were treated with 1.8:0.1 mM ADP/Fe3+, and declined when treated above this concentration, suggesting that autologous IgG binds to moderately but not to excessively oxidized erythrocytes. The antibody involved in the binding was anti-Band 3, the autoantibody known to bind to aged erythrocytes, because isolated anti-Band 3 bound to the oxidized cells, but anti-Band 3-depleted autologous IgG did not. In addition, purified Band 3 inhibited the autologous IgG binding. Anti-alpha-galactosyl IgG, another natural antibody which has been reported to bind to aged erythrocytes, did not bind to the oxidized cells. Oxidation of membrane lipids, SH-groups of membrane proteins, and Hb of these cells was slight, but the cells contained an increased amount of membrane-bound native Hb, indicating that the oxidized cell membrane has an altered property. alpha-Tocopherol prevented the lipid oxidation and the subsequent IgG binding. Reduction of the oxidized erythrocytes with dithiothreitol resulted in a loss of the IgG binding. These results suggest that anti-Band 3 binding sites (Band 3 senescent antigen) are formed on moderately oxidized erythrocytes as a result of oxidation of membrane protein SH-groups which can be mediated by the membrane lipid oxidation and that formation of the anti-Band 3 binding sites on the oxidized cells is an essentially reversible membrane event which is linked to oxidation and restoration of the protein SH-groups.
