RESUMO
Anti-idiotypic (anti-Id) antibodies were raised in rabbits against monoclonal antibodies that recognized either F glycoprotein 47F or G glycoprotein 63G, 62G, or 74G of the human respiratory syncytial virus Long strain. Anti-Id sera inhibited the virus binding of the immunizing monoclonal antibodies and in some cases the binding of other antibodies reacting with overlapping epitopes. The anti-Id sera also inhibited virus neutralization mediated by the original monoclonal antibodies. Affinity purified anti-Id antibodies were subsequently used to raise a homologous anti-anti-Id response in rabbits. One of the rabbits, inoculated with anti-Id 63G, generated antibodies that reacted with the G protein of respiratory syncytial virus and neutralized the virus to high titers. The antiviral antibodies induced by anti-Id 63G were broadly cross-reactive with strains of the A and B subtypes. However, the specificities of monoclonal antibody 63G and anti-anti-Id 63G were not exactly the same, as indicated by their reaction with escape mutants to antibody 63G. These results demonstrate for the first time the induction of an anti-respiratory syncytial virus response by anti-Id antibodies.
