Abstract
Murine monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies raised against a human monoclonal anti-ganglioside antibody identified as L612. Both alpha and beta type anti-idiotype antibodies are disclosed which belong to the IgG1 class and contain kappa light chains. Two hybridoma cell lines which produced the monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies are identified. The beta-type anti-idiotype antibodies are useful as an immunization agent to raise antibodies which are immunoreactive with tumors. The alpha-type anti-idiotype antibodies are useful as a probe for use in detecting human monoclonal antibodies bound to biopsied tumor tissues and to identify expression of ganglioside antigens on biopsied human tissues.
