Structural studies on induced antibodies with defined idiotypic specificities. VII. The complete amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region of anti-p-azophenylarsenate antibodies from A/J mice bearing a cross-reactive idiotype. 1979

J D Capra, and A Nisonoff

This paper reports the complete amino acid sequence of the variable region of heavy chains derived from A/J anti-p-azophenylarsenate antibodies bearing a cross-reactive idiotype. The structure of this induced idiotypically defined antibody is homogeneous and provides the first direct evidence that heritable idiotypes are defined chemical entities. There are certain similarities between the structure of this murine antibody and the human myeloma protein Eu as well as guinea pig anti-p-azophenylarsonate antibodies. The amino acid sequence of approximately 15% of the constant region of this IgG1 molecule is also described. Combined with our studies of the variable region of the light chains of these molecules, this study represents the first complete V domain structure of an induced idiotypically defined antibody with heritable characteristics.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007130 Immunoglobulin Idiotypes Unique genetically-controlled determinants present on ANTIBODIES whose specificity is limited to a single group of proteins (e.g., another antibody molecule or an individual myeloma protein). The idiotype appears to represent the antigenicity of the antigen-binding site of the antibody and to be genetically codetermined with it. The idiotypic determinants have been precisely located to the IMMUNOGLOBULIN VARIABLE REGION of both immunoglobin polypeptide chains.

D007135 Immunoglobulin Variable Region That region of the immunoglobulin molecule that varies in its amino acid sequence and composition, and comprises the binding site for a specific antigen. It is located at the N-terminus of the Fab fragment of the immunoglobulin. It includes hypervariable regions (COMPLEMENTARITY DETERMINING REGIONS) and framework regions.
