✦ Synopsis


Rabbit anti-rat anti-human thyrotropin anti-idiotypic antibodies have been raised. These antibodies were active at the thyrotropin (TSH) receptor, in that they inhibited 125I-labeled bovine TSH binding to thyroid plasma membranes, stimulated adenylate cyclase activity through a guanyl nucleotide-dependent mechanism, augmented radioiodide transport into isolated porcine thyroid follicular cells and induced such cultured cells to organize into follicles. Aside from substantiating the expectation that anti-hormone anti-idiotypic antibodies may possess properties of the original hormone, this work raised the possibility that thyroid-stimulating antibodies which cause the hyperthyroidism of Graves' disease may be anti-TSH anti-idiotypic antibodies.

Anti-idiotypes produced against monoclonal anti-H-2 antibodies have been used to examine idiotope sharing among a panel of anti-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antibodies detecting the same and different specificities. Both xenogeneic anti-100-30 and anti-3-83, which did not react with predom
