Immunochemical analysis of the cross-reacting idiotypes of mouse myeloma proteins with anti-dextran activity and normal anti-dextran antibody
Abstract
The idiotype of the mouse myeloma protein with anti-alpha-1,3 dextran activity, J558, has been characterized by a solid-phase radioimmunoassay. The idiotype of the J558 protein depends on a specific light and heavy chain interaction and is altered in the presence of the hapten, nigerose. Cross-reacting idiotypes were found on another mouse myeloma protein with alpha1,3 dextran specificity, normal anti-dextran antibody, and certain reconstructed myeloma proteins composed of the J558 heavy chain and heterologous light chains.
