Abstract
A panel of monoclonal antibodies specific for a corresponding panel of sequentially selected variants of influenza A/PR/8/34 virus has been established. Although the monoclonal antibodies are paratypically distinct, idiotypic relatedness has been observed. Two cross-reactive idiotypes have been defined that are associated with the 7183 and S107 VH gene families, respectively. Three of the four monoclonal antibodies utilize the VK21 group of light chains, and three VH genes belong to the VH7183 family and one to the VH S107 family. Antibodies encoded by genes deriving from the VH7183 family share a cross-reactive idiotype, a marker of the VH region as well as distinct individual idiotopes. These antibodies are produced by different clones using related VH and VK genes.Mesh:
