Structural studies of induced antibodies with defined idiotypic specificities. IV. The heavy chains of anti-streptococcal group A carbohydrate antibodies from Sprague-Dawley rats carrying a cross-reacting idiotype. 1976

D G Klapper, and R P Stankus, and G A Leslie, and J D Capra

The heavy (H) chains of three anti-streptococcal group A carbohydrate antibodies (anti-SACHO) of restricted heterogeneity, elicited in inbred Sprague-Dawley rats, were subjected to 40 cycles of automated Edman degradation. All three antibody H-chain preparations had an identical amino acid sequence and were classified as a variant of the VHIII subgroup of immunoglobulin H chains. A comparison of the H-chain sequence of these antibodies with that of pooled rat gamma chains suggests that a very minor population of H chains (closely related to the VHIII subgroup) has been 'recruited' as a consequence of this immunization. This observation further supports the notion that 'framework' and 'specificity' or 'hypervariable regions' are closely linked.

D007114 Immunization Deliberate stimulation of the host's immune response. ACTIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of ANTIGENS or IMMUNOLOGIC ADJUVANTS. PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION involves administration of IMMUNE SERA or LYMPHOCYTES or their extracts (e.g., transfer factor, immune RNA) or transplantation of immunocompetent cell producing tissue (thymus or bone marrow).
