The isotype distribution and idiotypic determinants of paraproteins (PP) found in sera from aging SJL mice were studied. One or more PP were found in 79% of 9-11 month old mice; the isotypes were gamma 1 greater than or equal to alpha greater than or equal to gamma 2a much greater than gamma 3 much greater than gamma 2b. There was a significant tendency for the PP to occur in pairs or triplets, multiple PP being found in 35% of the mice without an evident association between any two isotypes. Rabbit anti-Id was prepared against four isolated PP, two gamma 1 and two gamma 2a. Inhibition of anti-Id-Id interaction was specific for the immunizing PP only and was absent with all other PP studied (8 gamma 1 and 10 gamma 2 PP) and with normal SJL Ig. It is concluded that SJL PP fail to exhibit cross-reactive idiotypes and show a wider range of isotype distribution than was previously suspected, although PP of mu, delta, and epsilon isotypes are absent.
