“…Whether the FcR and C3b receptors are independent in the in vivo situation studied here or whether the C3b or other receptors are quantitatively unimportant in the absence of effective FcR function remains to be determined. Antiidiotypic responses against injected murine antibodies have also been reported in humans (46,48). An antiidiotypic response, if capable of blocking the antibody-combining site, would prevent antibody-targeted particles from binding their target cells even if their circulation were prolonged.…”

“…While these antibody responses may be occurring too late to account for the absence of in vivo efficacy, the appearance of "neutralizing" antibodies may limit the temporal window during which these agents can be expected to exert their cytotoxic effect on the target cell population. Attempts to suppress the host's humoral response to infused murine monoclonal antibody through immunosuppressive drugs or radiation have had varied success (22,23). Sequential infusions with immunotoxins that bind to the same cell surface structure, but whose monoclonal antibody moiety is either not recognized as xenogeneic or is isotypically or idiotypically variant, and therefore not immediately "neutralized" by circulating antibodies, might serve to expand this window of potential treatment time.…”

“…Once again, the observed difference in sensitivity between these T cell subsets in the two experimental groups might reflect a difference in the affinity of the RhT3 antigen for the FN18 antibody. When OKT3, the anti-human homologue of FN18 in monkeys, is given to human graft recipients, it eliminates the CD3' population so rapidly [3,271 that it is impossible to differentiate between the elimination rate of the CD4' and CD8' subsets. However, a difference in the reappearance rate between these subsets was observed: CD4' cells return more quickly, resulting in a shift in the CD4/CD8 ratio.…”
