Identification of a hemagglutinin-specific idiotype associated with reovirus recognition shared by lymphoid and neural cells

PMCID: PMC2186562  PMID: 6172539

Abstract

A xenogeneic antiserum raised to antireovirus immunoglobulin was used to define an idiotypic determinant present on antibodies to reovirus type 3 hemagglutinin. The same idiotype was identified on nonimmune lymphoid cells and on neuronal cells that specifically bind the hemagglutinin of type 3 reovirus. This idiotypic determinant, called Id3, is shared by (a) a monoclonal antibody to the neutralization site of hemagglutinin from type 3 reovirus; (b) BALB/c serum antibodies to the hemagglutinin of reovirus type 3; (c) R1.1, a murine thymoma cell line that binds reovirus type 3; (d) primary cultures of murine neuronal cells. The presence of an idiotype shared by antihemagglutinin antibodies and by structures on nonlymphoid cells suggests a general relationship between disparate receptors that recognize a common determinant. Furthermore, this suggests a novel approach for the study of viral receptor interactions and for analysis of mechanisms of autoimmune responses.
