Human response against NP-4, a mouse antibody to carcinoembryonic antigen: human anti-idiotype antibodies mimic an epitope on the tumor antigen.

Abstract: Anti-idiotype antibodies (Ab2) were purified from a cancer patient treated with NP-4, a murine monoclonal antibody to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). These Ab2 were specific for NP4 and inhibited the binding between NP4 and CEA. BALB/c mice immunized with these human Ab2 produced anti-Ab2 antibodies that were also reactive with the CEA epitope recognized by NP4. These results indicate that human Ab2 to NP-4 can antigenically mimic the CEA epitope recognized by NP4.

“…In accordance with Jerne theory, it has been reported that humoral immune responses characterized by anti-Id antibody production can be elicited in cancer patients following mAb injection for therapeutic or diagnosis purposes [27,33,[57][58][59][60][61][62]. In some cases, the production of anti-Id antibodies even correlated with patient clinical responses.…”

“…Many anti-idiotypic antibodies have been described to monoclonal antibodies that recognize CEA [3,8,13,30,37,51 ]. The majority of these studies describe Ab2 species that induce Ab3 humoral immune responses specific for CEA [3,8,13,30,51] characterized by Western blot [13], immunoprecipitation [3] and immunoassays [3,8,13,30,51 ], as well as by immunohistochemical staining of colon carcinoma tissue sections [3].…”

“…Rabbit Ab3 was purified using an adaptation of the affinity chromatography protocol described previously (Losman et a/., 1990(Losman et a/., , 1991. Briefly, Ab2-immunized rabbit serum was adsorbed onto a column of Ab2 coupled to an Affi-Gel matrix (Bio-Rad, Richmond, CA) and the bound antibodies were eluted with a 0.1 M glycine-HC1 buffer, pH 2.8.…”
