Immune Response to Hepatitis B Surface Antigen: Enhancement by Prior Injection of Antibodies to the Idiotype

Abstract: Anti-idiotype reagents that recognize a common idiotype associated with the combining site of antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) were used to manipulate the immune response to hepatitis B surface antigen in BALB/c mice. The injection of antibodies to the idiotype before antigenic stimulation resulted in an increase in the number of cells secreting immunoglobulin M antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen. Anti-HBs-secreting cells were also induced by administration of antibodies to the idiot… Show more

“…Manipulation of the immune response by injection of antibodies to idiotypes has been used in several systems (28)(29)(30)(31). In these studies exposure to antigen after the injection of antiidiotypic reagents resulted in either suppression of the idiotype-bearing antigen-binding molecule or increased idiotype expression and antigen-binding activity, depending upon the route of injection.…”

“…It has been shown in other systems that the immune response to antigen can be augmented by injection with antibodies to idiotype before exposure to antigen (9). Since purified GA733 antigen is not available in adequate quantities for immunization, having a molecular clone for the corresponding gene would be desirable, in that quantities of recombinant protein could then be generated.…”

“…Therefore,, the production of anli-Lol p 1 antibodies in syngeneic mice upon immunization with the aid MoAb should occur, as has been demonstrated in other systems [3,12,24]. In fact, only mice that received the aid MoAb developed an antiLolp 1 antibody response.…”
