Abstract
Humoral antibody against membraneβassociated antigens of the transmissible venereal tumour (TVT) of the dog was demonstrated using the indirect membrane immunofluorescence test. Circulating antibody to the tumour, as well as in vivo coating of the tumour cells with antibody, could be detected at 40 days or more after transplantation. AntiβTVT activity was contained in the 19S, intermediate S and the 7S fractions of an antiβTVT serum. No activity was detected in the 3.5S fraction. A crossβreaction was demonstrated between antiβTVT sera of clinical cases occurring in Ireland and Malaya.

The administration of xenogenic monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) leads in many cases to a host immune response represented by the generation of antibodies that can be directed against allotypic, isotypic, and idiotypic determinants present on the xenogeneic MAb. Anti-idiotypic antibodies (Ab2s) can be d
