## Abstract We have previously described anti‐acetylcholinesterase antibodies that display acetylcholinesterase‐like catalytic activity. No evidence of contaminating enzymes was found, and the antibodies are kinetically and apparently structurally distinct from both acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and
## Abstract Anti‐idiotype antibodies (Ab2) that immunologically mimic tumor antigens are auspicious agents for the active immunization of cancer patients. We have developed W12, a rat monoclonal IgG~1~ Ab2 to MN ‐14, a murine anti‐carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) monoclonal antibody. W12 is specific
