Title: Anti-idiotypic antibody to an anti-alprenolol monoclonal antibody: promotion of ligand binding to the idiotype

Abstract

The authors previously described the production of four monoclonal antibodies to the beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist alprenolol. One of these antibodies, 5B7 (IgG/sub 2a/k), was used to generate polyclonal anti-idiotypic antisera in rabbits. In contrast to the predicted results, the anti-idiotypic antisera (R-9) promoted (/sup 125/I)-CYP binding to the monoclonal antibody 5B7. In the presence of R-9 antisera (1:300 dilution), the binding affinity improved with the dissociation constant decreasing 100-fold from 10nM to 0.1nM. This effect could not be reproduced with pre-immune, rabbit anti-mouse, or antiidiotypic antisera generated to monoclonal antibodies of different specificity. Furthermore, R-9 alone did not bind ligand. The R-9 IgG fraction was isolated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography then adsorbed to a 5B7-immunoaffinity resin and eluted with 0.5 M NaCl. This yielded a fraction with enhanced binding activity. F(ab) fragments of 5B7 and R-9 produced the same effect indicating that polyvalency was not necessary for the enhanced ligand binding. Finally, the ligand alprenolol promoted the binding of (/sup 125/I)-5B7 to %-9 as assessed by fractionating the resulting soluble complex by size exclusion chromatography on a TSK-3000 HPLC column. These results demonstrate that anti-idiotypic antibodies can be generated which will promote the binding of antigen to the original idiotype.
