Spontaneous shift in Id expression of polyclonal anti-DNA antibodies in a patient, BS, with SLE was investigated. BS had active lupus nephritis in 1982 and developed central nervous system lupus in 1986 without evidence of active nephritis. Two rabbit polyclonal anti-Id (BS-82 and BS-86 R-anti-Id) were raised against affinity-purified anti-DNA antibodies prepared from 1982 serum (BS-82) and 1986 serum (BS-86), respectively. In addition, murine monoclonal anti-Id was prepared against BS-82 Id. Direct binding assays showed that all three anti-Id had preferential binding to the immunizing anti-DNA antibodies (the homologous Id) and poor binding to anti-DNA antibodies prepared from the different dated sample of BS. This was confirmed by inhibition assays of binding of anti-Id to the homologous Id by various Id. Moreover, inhibition assays of binding of various Id to DNA by the R-anti-Id showed that the R-anti-Id was the most effective inhibitor for the homologous Id. Testing for Id expression in serial (1982 to 1986) serum samples of BS with the R-anti-Id as probes showed that BS-82 Id declined and was undetectable after October, 1984, whereas BS-86 Id was first detectable in July, 1985, and increased by June, 1986. These results clearly demonstrate spontaneous shifts in Id expression of human anti-DNA antibodies. The phenomenon of Id shift should be considered in any future strategy for the diagnosis and therapy of human autoimmune disease by anti-Id.

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.

D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D000974 Antibodies, Antinuclear Autoantibodies directed against various nuclear antigens including DNA, RNA, histones, acidic nuclear proteins, or complexes of these molecular elements.

D001667 Binding, Competitive The interaction of two or more substrates or ligands with the same binding site. The displacement of one by the other is used in quantitative and selective affinity measurements. Competitive Binding
