It has been shown that A/J anti-p-azophenylarsonate antibodies that share a major cross-reactive idiotype (CRI) comprise a family of closely related, but nonidentical, molecules. Our results demonstrate that 12 of 14 monoclonal hybridoma products that express the CRI have in common at least one highly conserved idiotypic determinant. It is proposed that this reflects conservation of a portion of the amino acid sequence, presumably in hypervariable regions. That the conserved determinant(s0 are located in the region of the hapten-binding site is indicated by the ability of haptens to inhibit idiotype-anti-idiotype interactions involving the conserved, or public determinants.
已表明,具有主要交叉反应独特型(CRI)的A/J抗对氨基苯砷酸盐抗体包含一族密切相关但并不完全相同的分子。我们的结果表明,表达CRI的14种单克隆杂交瘤产物中有12种至少具有一个高度保守的独特型决定簇。有人提出,这反映了氨基酸序列一部分的保守性,推测是在高变区。半抗原能够抑制涉及保守(或公共)决定簇的独特型-抗独特型相互作用,这表明保守决定簇位于半抗原结合位点区域。
