Complete heavy and light chain variable region sequence of anti-arsonate monoclonal antibodies from BALB/c and A/J mice sharing the 36-60 idiotype are highly homologous. 1984

Structural and serologic studies on murine A/J monoclonal anti-arsonate antibodies resulted in the identification of a second idiotype family (Id36-60) in addition to the predominant idiotype family (IdCR). Id36-60, unlike IdCR, is a dominant idiotype in the BALB/c strain but is a "minor" idiotype in the A/J strain. The complete heavy and light chain variable region (VH and VL) amino acid sequences of a representative Id36-60 hybridoma protein from both the A/J and BALB/c strains have been determined. There are only four amino acid sequence differences between the VH of antibody 36-60 (A/J) and antibody 1210.7 (BALB/c). Two of these differences arise from single nucleotide changes in which the A/J and BALB/c Id36-60 VH germline gene sequences differ. The two other differences are the result of somatic mutation in hybridoma protein 36-60. In addition, Id36-60 heavy chains employ the same D and JH3 segments in both strains. The entire Vk2 VL of 36-60 and 1210.7 differ by only two amino acids, suggesting that like the heavy chains, they are derived from highly homologous VL genes. The same Jk segment is used in both antibodies. A comparison of the amino acid sequence data from Id36-60-bearing hybridomas suggests that a heavy chain amino acid difference accounts for the diminished arsonate binding by the 1210.7 hybridoma protein. Because the 1210.7 heavy chain is the unmutated product of the BALB/c VH gene, somatic mutation in VH may be required to enhance Ars affinity in this system.

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.

D007135 Immunoglobulin Variable Region That region of the immunoglobulin molecule that varies in its amino acid sequence and composition, and comprises the binding site for a specific antigen. It is located at the N-terminus of the Fab fragment of the immunoglobulin. It includes hypervariable regions (COMPLEMENTARITY DETERMINING REGIONS) and framework regions.
