Genetic control of the immune response to the terpolymer L-glutamic acid 60-L-alanine 30-L-tyrosine10 (GAT). III. Restricted heterogeneity of the anti-GAT response from BALB/c responder mice. 1979

C Petit, and M Joskowicz, and M Stanislawski, and J Thèze

The heterogeneity of the anti-GAT [terpolymer poly(Glu60, Ala30, Tyr10)] response of GAT responder mice has been analyzed. Purified anti-GAT antibodies from BALB/c mice belong only to the gamma 1 kappa subclass. The isoelectric focusing pattern obtained indicates that the anti-GAT antibodies are particularly basic and restricted. These results have been confirmed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; by this technique, we have shown that the gamma 1 chain and the corresponding kappa chain of anti-GAT antibodies are restricted. All the anti-GAT antibodies from 10 BALB/c mice bear the cross-reactive GAT idiotype previously defined (J. Thèze and G. Sommé, Eur. J. Immunol. 1979, 9: 924). The present results indicate that the anti-GAT repertoire expressed in BALB/c mice is very limited.

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.

D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
