Functional Mimicry of an Anti‐idiotypic Antibody to Nominal Antigen on Cellular Response

Abstract: One concept for immune therapy of cancer involves induction of antigen mimic antibodies to trigger the immune system into a response against the tumor cells. Anti-idiotypic antibodies (Ab2) directed against the antigen-combining site of other antibodies (Ab1) may functionally and even structurally mimic antigen and induce anti-anti-idiotypic immune response. We report here the generation of murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) WJ02 (Ab2) raised against the murine monoclonal immunoglobulin MJ01 (Ab1), which defines… Show more

“…Besides this, anti-ID antibodies induce a memory response (through the generation of T-helper memory cells) that not only persists following treatment but also prevents the occurrences of relapses [ 48 ] and promotes longer-lasting immunity [ 49 ]. In addition, since anti-ID antibodies naturally occur in the body [ 56 ] and the immune response elicited mimics those induced by nominal antigen [ 57 ], they are fairly safe and should not cause toxicity [ 58 ]. Vaccination with Ab2 has shown various advantages, as they bear the internal image of the antigen [ 59 ].…”

“…13 In order to determine whether the CA19.9-LC44 immunocomplex could trigger antigen-specific cytotoxicity, a 4-hour 51 Cr release assay was performed. As depicted in Figure 4, CA19.9-positive tumor cells (SW1116) were lysed by antigen-and/or antibody-primed T-cells, while CA19.9-negative tumor targets (Lo Vo) were hardly affected.…”

“…Consequently, with this approach, there is no use of external Ag or its fragments in Id-based vaccines. The Id vaccines production may reduce the likelihood of unwanted side effects which are mostly associated with typical Ag vaccines [49]. Anti-Id vaccines provoke a higher immune response of fine specificities than for antigen vaccines.…”
