A potent anti-idiotype serum produced in a rabbit immunized with the isolated heavy chains of an IgM cold agglutinin "Col" was rendered specific by solid-state adsorptions. The anit-Col idiotype was shown to bind specifically to both isolated Col heavy (mu) and light (kappa) chains as well as to intact Col IgM by three methods: (i) reversal of anti-idiotype inhibition of Col cold agglutinin in ...
