Human peripheral B lymphocytes were transformed with Epstein-Barr virus and probed with an antiidiotypic antibody made against a human monoclonal autoantibody. Six cell lines were isolated that produced antibodies bearing a common idiotope. Despite the presence of this common idiotope, the antibodies showed antigen-binding specificities different from that of the parental antibody to which the antiidiotypic antibody was made. By probing Epstein-Barr virus-transformed cells with well-characterized antiidiotypic antibodies, it should now be possible to isolate and determine the frequency of B cells bearing specific idiotopes in the human repertoire and to study the antigen-binding properties of these antibodies.
