BALB/c mice were immunized with monoclonal BALB/c antibodies IDA10, IDA16 and IDA17 raised against the BALB/c ABPC48 myeloma protein. Several procedures of immunization--copolymers with lipopolysaccharide or keyhole limpet hemocyanin, simultaneous or sequential injections of different IDAs--were performed in an attempt to orient the immune response towards the production of ABPC48-like idiotypes. We used a binding assay which identifies two idiotopes on the same molecule to measure the population of antibodies induced in these responses. The expression of ABPC48 cross-reactive idiotypes in immune sera was analyzed. The results show that, with all immunization protocols, immune responses to different monoclonal antiidiotypic antibodies are mostly independent of each other: the coexpression of ABPC48 idiotopes, either private or recurrent on the induced antibodies, is rarely found; it makes it difficult to discriminate by a serological approach between cross-reactive idiotypes and anti-antiidiotypic antibodies. We discuss the interest of combining molecular and serological approaches to identify these two populations of antibodies.
