[Monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies simulating the biological effects of human alpha-interferons]
The method of somatic hybridization was used to generate a panel of hybridomas producing monoclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies (mono-Ai-Ab) imitating biological effects of human alpha-interferons (hIF-alpha). Induction of syngeneic anti-idiotypic antibodies in BALB/c mice was achieved with monoclonal antibodies (MCA) IF-39 capable of neutralizing three kinds of hIF-alpha (lymphoblastoid, leukocyte, genetic-engineering). The screening of mono-Ai-Ab was done by determinations of antiviral activity (AV-activity) of supernatants from growing hybrid cell cultures caused by the cytopathic effect of 10-100 doses of mouse encephalomyocarditis virus (MEMC) by a micromethod in Vero cells grown in 96-well plates. Mono-Ai-Ab were found to neutralize MCA IF-39 and not to bind with immunosorbent of staphylococcal reagent containing protein A and BALB/c mouse immunoglobulins. It was shown that mono-Ai-Ab possessed AV-activity against MEMC and vesicular stomatitis viruses and were not inferior in this activity to commercial preparations of leukocyte IF-alpha. Mono-Ai-Ab had tissue species-specificity triggering the mechanism of AV-activity in human and simian cells as well as bovine kidney cells (MDVK line) imitating hIF-alpha in this effect.
