Abstract: | Monoclonal antibodies have been prepared from one BALB/c mouse immunized with tobacco mosaic virus. The monoclonal antibodies are distributed into three subgroups recognizing different epitopes on tobacco mosaic virus subunits. The idiotypic specificities of these monoclonal antibodies have been studied using syngeneic antiidiotypic sera. A sharing of idiotypic specificities has been observed between members of each subset. These idiotypes are not recurrent in BALB/c mice immunized with tobacco mosaic virus. |
