We previously described a monoclonal antibody, 9.1C3, which blocked natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytolysis by acting on effector cells during a late step in the lethal hit stage. The present work describes the production in rabbits of anti-idiotypic (anti-id) antibodies to the 9.1C3 antibody. In addition to reacting specifically with the 9.1C3 antibody, the anti-id antibodies bound strongly to the K562 target cell. The anti-id antibodies blocked killing of K562 targets by NK, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity, and NK-like cells but did not inhibit killing by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Pretreatment of cells and washing before assay indicated that blocking occurred at the target cell level. Of particular interest, single cell assays with Percoll-enriched large granular lymphocytes demonstrated that the antibodies caused no reduction in binding. These data are consistent with a model for NK cell-mediated lysis that involves a secondary target cell receptor independent of the primary NK-target cell interaction. The anti-id antibodies immunoprecipitated cell surface proteins of relative m.w. 79K and 62K unreduced, and 94K and 79K reduced from K562 target cells. The development of anti-id antibodies may be a useful procedure to explore the structure and function of cellular receptors involved in NK cell-mediated cytolysis.
