Tumor-specific idiotopes on suppressor factors and suppressor cells revealed by monoclonal anti-idiotope antibodies. 1987

V K Kuchroo, and V K Lee, and I Hellström, and K E Hellström, and W J Halliday

Two monoclonal anti-idiotope antibodies, previously found to induce tumor-specific cell-mediated immunity in mice, were examined for their relationship to tumor-associated suppressor factors (SF), produced in culture by spleen cells from tumor-bearing mice or present in sera from such mice. A leukocyte adherence inhibition assay was used to detect cellular immunoreactivity to tumor antigens and its inhibition by SF, using peritoneal cells from mice bearing tumor or sensitized with anti-idiotope antibody. The SF were specifically absorbed by the corresponding anti-idiotope antibodies coupled to a solid phase and were recovered by elution. They were also specifically neutralized by the addition of the respective antibodies to the assay system. Anti-idiotope antibody, used with complement to pretreat spleen cells from tumor-bearing mice, prevented these cells from producing SF in culture. Tumor antigen-reactive effector cells, suppressor cells, and SF thus share similar idiotopes, permitting their respective functions to be modulated by appropriate anti-idiotopes.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007111	Immunity, Cellular	Manifestations of the immune response which are mediated by antigen-sensitized T-lymphocytes via lymphokines or direct cytotoxicity. This takes place in the absence of circulating antibody or where antibody plays a subordinate role.

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.

D007957	Leukocyte Adherence Inhibition Test	Test for cell-mediated antitumor immunity and related serum blocking factors based on the finding that leukocytes from cancer patients, but not from controls, when mixed in vitro with antigenic extracts of tumors of the same histological type, undergo a diminution in their normal adherence to glass surfaces. Sera from tumor-bearing patients block the LAI reaction of their own leukocytes or those of other patients with the same type of tumor.	LAI Test,LAI Tests,Test, LAI,Tests, LAI

D009363	Neoplasm Proteins	Proteins whose abnormal expression (gain or loss) are associated with the development, growth, or progression of NEOPLASMS. Some neoplasm proteins are tumor antigens (ANTIGENS, NEOPLASM), i.e. they induce an immune reaction to their tumor. Many neoplasm proteins have been characterized and are used as tumor markers (BIOMARKERS, TUMOR) when they are detectable in cells and body fluids as monitors for the presence or growth of tumors. Abnormal expression of ONCOGENE PROTEINS is involved in neoplastic transformation, whereas the loss of expression of TUMOR SUPPRESSOR PROTEINS is involved with the loss of growth control and progression of the neoplasm.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D050378	T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory	CD4-positive T cells that inhibit immunopathology or autoimmune disease in vivo. They inhibit the immune response by influencing the activity of other cell types. Regulatory T-cells include naturally occurring CD4+CD25+ cells, IL-10 secreting Tr1 cells, and Th3 cells.
