The relationship between pathologic anti-DNA and natural autoantibodies (Auto Ab) remains unclear. In particular, it has not yet been elucidated whether pathologic anti-DNA antibodies originate from and are regulated by the pool of natural Auto Ab. To address this question, a large number of Ig-secreting hybridomas were derived from the unstimulated splenocytes of B/W mice, newborn to 12 mo of age, and their binding activities against a panel of self-Ag (DNA, actin, tubulin, myosin, and myoglobin), isotype, idiotypic determinants, and VH gene utilization were analyzed. A progressive increase in the number of Ig-secreting clones was observed and associated with a constant proportion (approximately 6%) of autoreactive B cell clones. However, dramatic changes in the pool of autoreactive B cell hybridomas were observed as the disease evolved, including the selective maintenance of IgM anti-DNA polyspecific antibodies, reduction in percentage of polyspecific IgM mAb with no DNA-binding activity, and the production of IgG anti-DNA antibodies of the IgG2 class. The kinetics, immunochemical properties, and idiotypic analysis of polyspecific IgM mAb with DNA-binding activity strongly suggest that they belong to natural Auto Ab and constitute the precursors of pathologic IgG anti-DNA antibodies. In addition, and IgM polyspecific antibody was demonstrated to bind IgG anti-DNA mAb through F(ab')2 interactions suggesting a regulatory role of natural antibodies and their participation in the control of pathologic Auto Ab production.
