Abstrakt: Rabbit anti-rabbit idiotype antibody was raised to both clonally heterogeneous and restricted auto anti-b6 antibodies induced in b6 allotype-suppressed (b6)/(b6) homozygous and b4/(b6) heterozygous rabbits. In every case the anti-idiotypic antibodies were specific only for the inducing antibody as shown by direct binding solid-phase RIA. Anti-idiotypes directed to the same antibody preparation had a similar but not identical specificity. It was demonstrated by IEF that the same idiotype specificity (spectrotype) was present throughout the anti-b6 response in individual rabbits.
