Crystal structure of an Fv-Fv idiotope-anti-idiotope complex at 1.9 A resolution.
Anti-idiotopic antibodies react with unique antigenic features, usually associated with the combining sites, of other antibodies. They may thus mimic specific antigens that react with the same antibodies. The structural basis of this mimicry is analyzed here in detail for an anti-idiotopic antibody that mimics the antigen, hen egg-white lysozyme. The crystal structure of an anti-hen-egg-white l...
متن کاملHuman high molecular weight-melanoma associated antigen mimicry by an anti-idiotypic antibody: characterization of the immunogenicity and the immune response to the mouse monoclonal antibody IMel-1.
The mouse anti-idiotype (anti-id) monoclonal antibody (mAb) IMel-1 recognizes an idiotope in the antigen combining site of the immunizing anti-human high molecular weight melanoma-associated antigen (HMW-MAA) mAb 225.28. The mAb IMel-1 is able to induce an immune response against self cross-reacting HMW-MAA in rabbits that express HMW-MAA in normal tissues. Most of the rabbit anti-anti-id antib...
متن کاملStructural basis of antigen mimicry in a clinically relevant melanoma antigen system.
Although mimics of human tumor antigens are effective immunogens to overcome host unresponsiveness to the nominal antigen, the structural basis of this mimicry remains poorly defined. Therefore, in this study we have characterized the structural basis of the human high molecular weight-melanoma-associated antigen (HMW-MAA) mimicry by the mouse anti-idiotypic (anti-id) monoclonal antibody (mAb) ...
متن کاملProtein motion and lock and key complementarity in antigen-antibody reactions.
Antibodies possess a highly complementary combining site structure to that of their specific antigens. In many instances their reactions are driven by enthalpic factors including, at least in the case of the reaction of monoclonal antibody D1.3 with lysozyme, enthalpy of solvation. They require minor structural rearrangements, and their equilibrium association constants are relatively high (10(...
متن کاملInduction of neutralizing antibody in mice against poliovirus type II with monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibody.
Syngeneic monoclonal anti-idiotope antibody Ab2,2-17C3SCC was raised against an idiotope on a protective monoclonal antibody with specificity for poliovirus type II. Ab2,2-17C3SCC detects a paratope-related interspecies IdX. Ab2,2-17C3SCC purified from supernatant fluids of hybridoma cells by protein A-Sepharose was injected into 4- to 6-wk-old BALB/c mice. The sera of the mice were screened fo...
