The B cell immune response to an idiotype-inducing peptide epitope can be inhibited by immunodominance of a neighboring epitope.

Abstract: Three synthetic peptides, EEYEYE (peptide 1), EEYEYEEEYEYE (peptide 2), and YEEEEY (peptide 3), were tested for their ability to induce common Id that had been previously characterized for murine antibodies specific to random synthetic polymers of glutamic acid, alanine, and tyrosine ((Glu,Ala,Tyr)n) (cGAT Id). Protein conjugates of either peptide 2 or peptide 3, but not peptide 1, induced cGAT Id. This unique approach directly identified two peptides capable of inducing cGAT Id antibodies.
