Four anti-idiotopic mAB, 107, MB, AI, and AD8, react with mouse hybridoma protein 36-65 specific for the hapten p-azophenylarsonate. The four antiidiotypic antibodies do not react with hybridoma protein 36-71, a somatically mutated variant of 36-65 whose H and L chain V region sequence differs at 19 amino acid positions. To determine which regions of 36-65 are important for the interaction with each of the four anti-idiotypic antibodies, variants of 36-65 containing one or more of the 36-71 substitutions were generated by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis of the rearranged 36-65 H chain V region gene, followed by expression of mutant proteins containing either the 36-65 or the 36-71 L chain in transfected hybridoma cells. Idiotypic characterization of the mutant proteins showed that reactivity correlates with the 36-65 H chain, but some contributions from the 36-65 L chain come into play. In the 36-65 H chain V region, idiotopes were mapped to the first and third complementarity-determining regions for anti-idiotypic antibodies 107, MB, and AI, and to all three complementarity-determining regions for anti-idiotypic antibody AD8. The binding of all four anti-idiotypic antibodies to hybridoma protein 36-65 was hapten inhibitable. However, a comparison between the effect of individual 36-71 substitutions on idiotope expression and their effect on Ag-binding affinity suggests that none of the four anti-idiotypic antibodies bodies mimics the structure of Ag.
