Anti-idiotypes against a monoclonal anti-haloperidol antibody bind to dopamine receptor

Journal Article · · Life Sci.; (United States)

Anti-idiotypic antibodies were raised in rabbits by immunization with a monoclonal anti-haloperidol antibody. Some of these anti-idiotypic antibodies bind in a concentration dependent manner to bovine striatal membranes. Following affinity purification, these antibodies inhibit haloperidol binding to striatal membranes and deplete (/sup 3/H)-spiperone binding sites from a solubilized preparation of striatal membranes. It is thus concluded that these anti-idiotypic antibodies are an internal image of haloperidol and as such can interact with D/sub 2/-dopamine receptors.
