An intrastrain cross-reactive idiotype associated with anti-p-azophenylarsonate antibodies of BALB/c mice. 1981

A R Brown, and A Nisonoff

This paper describes an intrastrain cross-reactive idiotype, associated with the anti-Ar antibodies of all BALB/c mice tested. The idiotype is present on 20 to 65% of the anti-Ar antibodies of individual BALB/c mice and is localized to the Fab fragment. Adsorption of anti-Ar antibody from an immune serum completely removes the idiotypic activity. Inheritance of the idiotype is linked to the Igh locus, as shown by results obtained with congenic mice. It is present in strains that are Igh-Ia but not in the allotypically related Igh-Ij strains. The idiotype is also present in certain strains belonging to other allotype linkage groups. Expression of the idiotype is suppressed by the administration of rabbit antiidiotypic antibodies before immunization. The BALB/c idiotype is cross-reactive with an idiotype present in a small proportion of anti-Ar antibodies of A/J mice.

D007106 Immune Sera Serum that contains antibodies. It is obtained from an animal that has been immunized either by ANTIGEN injection or infection with microorganisms containing the antigen. Antisera,Immune Serums,Sera, Immune,Serums, Immune
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.

D007165 Immunosuppression Therapy Deliberate prevention or diminution of the host's immune response. It may be nonspecific as in the administration of immunosuppressive agents (drugs or radiation) or by lymphocyte depletion or may be specific as in desensitization or the simultaneous administration of antigen and immunosuppressive drugs.
