Use of monoclonal antibodies to identify shared idiotypes on human antibodies to native DNA from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. 1983

G Solomon, and J Schiffenbauer, and H D Keiser, and B Diamond

Antinative DNA antibodies were purified from the serum of a patient with active systemic lupus erythematosus. Using hybridoma technology, we produced several mouse monoclonal antibodies directed against idiotypic determinants on these antinative DNA antibodies. One of these monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies, 3I, an IgG2a Kappa, was extensively characterized. 3I is believed to be directed against an idiotypic determinant because (i) its reactivity with antinative DNA antibodies is not inhibited by a large excess of pooled human serum, (ii) it reacts with F(ab')2 fragments of antinative DNA antibodies, and (iii) it reacts with antinative DNA antibodies of all IgG subclasses. 3I is not directed against the antigen binding site in that native DNA and 3I do not compete for binding to antinative DNA antibodies. Eight of nine sera containing antinative DNA activity as determined by the Millipore filter assay reacted with 3I in a solid-phase radioimmunoassay. These findings suggest that antinative DNA antibodies from nonrelated patients with systemic lupus erythematosus share a common idiotype.

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.

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).
