Ca. Kraaijeveld et al., DETECTION OF A SHARED IDIOTOPE ON 2 ENCEPHALOMYOCARDITIS VIRUS NEUTRALIZING MONOCLONAL-ANTIBODIES BY NEUTRALIZATION INHIBITION ENZYME-IMMUNOASSAY, Journal of virological methods, 44(2-3), 1993, pp. 319-328
Idiotypic cross-reactivity between encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) n
eutralizing monoclonal antibodies UM 21.1 (IgG2b) and UM 21.3 (IgG2a)
was detected by neutralization inhibition enzyme immunoassay using pol
yclonal and monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies. One strongly cross-r
eactive anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody, designated 21.1A5 (IgG2b),
might recognize a recurrent idiotope on EMCV neutralizing antibodies
but it did not induce EMCV neutralizing anti-anti-idiotypic antibodies
in homologous BALB/c mice.
