We analysed human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMA) in 12 patients (six with multiple myeloma (MM) and six with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (MRCC) who were treated with B-E8, an IgG1 MoAb against IL-6. Efficiency of the treatment was evidenced by the drop in the serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), the in vivo production of which is under the control of IL-6. Three patients with MM and the six patients with MRCC became immunized to the injected MoAb. HAMA appeared between days 7 and 15 after the beginning of the treatment. The nine patients made IgG antibodies; four also made IgM. All immunized patients made anti-idiotype antibodies specific to B-E8. Two of them also developed HAMA directed to murine IgG1 isotype; in these two patients B-E8 MoAb cleared rapidly from the circulation with loss of treatment efficiency. In the patients who developed only anti-idiotype antibodies, serum levels of B-E8 remained unchanged and CRP production remained inhibited, indicating that treatment remained efficient in the presence of HAMA. Circulating B-E8 MoAbs were still able to bind to IL-6 and to inhibit IL-6-dependent proliferation despite the presence of anti-idiotypic HAMA. Therefore, in contrast to HAMA produced against MoAb directed against cellular targets, HAMA against anti-IL-6 MoAb idiotopes led neither to clearance nor to functional inactivation of the injected MoAb. This was further shown by resuming the B-E8 treatment with success in a patient who still had anti-idiotypic HAMA.
